I have a few questions for CC: 1 How many hurricanes made landfall in the US in 2005? 2 How many in 1992? 3 How many hit after Bush and before DHS? 4 What did victims of the hurricanes that hit afer Bush and before DHS have to say about DHS? How many Pros vs how many cons? You may have to alter your anti-bush template a little if you want to put things into perspective and find the real truth. After we have exhausted ourselves arguing about that and each of us declaring victory we can move on the the Bush is responsible because of global warming argument. Here are the top 10 hurricanes in US history before Katrina: 1. GALVESTON, TEXAS 1900 2. FLORIDA 1928 3. FLORIDA KEYS 1935 4. HURRICANE AUDREY 1957 5. SOUTHEAST U.S. 1926 6. LOUISIANA 1909 7. ATLANTIC-GULF 1919 8. LOUISIANA 1915 9. GALVESTON, TEXAS 1915 10. NEW ENGLAND 1938 http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2005/hurricanes/interactive/hurricanes.topten/intro.html Except for 1957 they were all early 1900s Where was global warming and GWB back then? Could it be that these things run in cycles? Whittle a cyles hole in your template and things come to light like this: http://www.globalwarming.org/article.php?uid=286 "The hurricane activity of the next 20 years should resemble the period that began in the late 1920s and lasted through the 1940s. The increase is due to higher salinity content in the Atlantic Ocean, which alters its currents and increases average ocean temperatures, fueling more storms. Gray emphasizes that this is a cyclical trend and has nothing to do with global warming(CNN, April 22, 2000)... .. University of New Mexico scientist Louis Scuderi, studying tree ring data in New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado, has identified a 72 year drought cycle in the region according to an AP article of April 29th. The last such drought occurred in the 1950s, leading Scuderi to believe that another is imminent in the 2020s." This dates back to pre-Bush before so it couldn't be biased against Bush. Now do you want to move on to the Kyoto argument? Why should the US be bound by the Kyoto protocol if China is not? What other countries have and haven't signed? Who consumes all this energy in the US anyway? Is it the people? If so why can't they consume less and solve the problem instead of beating the government over the head about their own activites? Witness Barabra Striesand, environmental Activist who travels in private jets and stretch limos ansd is so concerned about air polution and green house gasses. Where do you want to begin?
