Nothing virtual about global warming

President Bush recently chided Saddam Hussein for his cowardly attempt to hide, saying that "when the heat got on, you dug yourself a hole and you crawled in it." These same words also describe the attempts by Bush and friends to evade the issue of global warming. It's time for them to crawl out of their hole.

The overwhelming scientific consensus is that global warming is real, it's serious, it's caused mostly by humans and it is to some extent correctable. But due to the intransigence of the Bush administration and comrades, virtually nothing has been done to correct it.

................
The only real question left in the global warming debate is how long we will let Bush and his political allies hide in their hole.




I like the way the writer uses the words of the putrescent poltroon to frame the criticism. No place for the putrescent one to hide on DU. Amazing how having run and hid when DC was allegedly under attack, he now wants to criticize his old buddy Saddam for similar action. Fascists of a feather must flock together.
