Bush (SOTU) speech to address global warming
http://www.smh.com.au/news/World/Bush-speech-to-address-global-warming/2007/01/17/1168709821524.html

US President George W Bush will outline a policy on global warming next week in his State of the Union speech but has not dropped his opposition to mandatory limits on greenhouse-gas emissions, the White House says.

"It's not accurate. It's wrong," White House spokesman Tony Snow said of media reports suggesting Bush would agree to mandatory emissions caps in an effort to combat global warming.

Such caps could require energy conservation and pollution curbs.

"If you're talking about enforceable carbon caps, in terms of industry-wide and nation-wide, we knocked that down. That's not something we're talking about," Snow said.

1. Will he perhaps include
a restriction on the amount of HOT AIR that is coming out of his administration? I believe that would be the very first step in combating this issue.

2. He's done it before
weak words followed by strong actions to the contrary on behalf of poison and polluters. Following his patter as someone who doesn't have to run for office anymore the offering this time is meant as a desultory weak distraction. The only rerun he cares about is killing Iranians. The novelty has worn off for the repeated fraud and propaganda.

3. He's been addressing it by silencing scientists..
...editing their research findings to suit his twisted perspective, closing the EPA library, denying global warming.

Who cares what he says? He's a fucking idiot.
