Recent Nation-Wide Heat Wave Caused By Bush Policies

Published on August 1, 2006 By MasonM In Politics

According to recent super secret studies, President Bush's policies have led to war in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Lebanon resulting in the use of so many explosives that it has caused the atmosphere to heat up resulting in a heat wave throughout most of North America.

A recent poll conducted in a local tavern proves that 70% of Americans believe that Bush's policies have resulted in the current high temps in the nation. That number rose to 95% if the pollster was buying a round.

The same poll conducted closer to closing time proved that 100% of those polled believed that Bush's policies resulted in long lines to the men's room.

How do you and Bush explain the ice melting at both caps? That must also be a liberal lie!

Absolutley right! (sorry, I mean Left). We need that ice. What are the poor penguins supposed to do. learn to fly or something? Bush really needs to start a policy that makes it illegal for natural forces to melt any ice anywhere in the world. Of course that would put all of those ice vending companies out of business but that's ok, they all voted for Bush anyway.

The question of global warming is clear- We are in a phase of global warming and Bush might as well accept that fact. The evidence including the measurements of the melting of both ice caps proves that the Earth is warming.

The question of how is the release of greenhouse gases impacting this warming? Is what we are doing making the warming worse or would it take place at the same rate regardless what we do? If Bush and the conservatives are wrong and we are speeding up and making worse this warming the consequences will be catastrophic for the World. Thus the down side risk is such that we might be best to try and reduce the greenhouse gases in the hope that will either slow or reduce the amount of warming that is taking place.

Very true! If Bush had any ecological responsibility at all he would force Congress to pass laws against the use of any technology that produces these deadly gasses and help institute Federal subsidies to horse breeders and wagon builders. He should also immediately force all cattle and horse ranches to plug the asses of their animals so as to contain all of that methane which is a greenhouse gas produced by them in very high volumes.

This madness must stop!

listen to notBush. Our doom is at hand, and raising taxes is MAY BE OUR ONLY HOPE!!!! Anything else is BUSH WHACKED!!!

I'm happy to see that you are now seeing the wisdom in the Col's words. He is a very wise man and is always right (err, I mean Left, sorry).

Yep. We must protect our environment. Especially where adult beverages are concerned.

Recent Nation-Wide Heat Wave Caused By Bush Policies

I see my wisdom is spreading fast.

Bush is responsible for not providing leadership for a energy policy that would have replaced the electric grid and moved us to less dependence on foreign oil. Global warming is not taking place per Bush so I guess the story about the heat is just another liberal lie!

He who drives a gas powered vehicle has a complaint about gas dependence? You should consider a name change and ad hypocrit as a middle name. Oh BTW, this was a joke. More of an insult and a tribute to your wisdom. Kinda like my 2 articles and the ones that will follow. Hope you like and enjoy them.

Oh no, it is the Col's wisdom and brilliance that is spreading throughout the world. We all bow down to the Geneness of the Truth.

We have a president that has done NOTHING since he took office to address ANY of the major issues that need solutions. You can bluster all you want about me. YOUR IDIOT PRESIDENT is useless and every problem that faces our country is worse then when he took office. What great leadership he has provided!

Exactly right ( err, I mean Left, sorry), everything is worse now. While I am making a good living and have few real problems, I'm sure that's just a mirage and everything is totally screwed up despite appearances. You know, I'm sure that car wreck that laid me up for over a year was Bush's fault. As a matter of fact I know it was as this whole global warming thing is certainly responsible for the black ice that caused the wreck. Damn Bush anyway!

Summer Nights Heating Up, Scientists Say
By SETH BORENSTEIN (AP Science Writer)
From Associated Press
August 02, 2006 3:06 PM EDT

WASHINGTON - America in recent years has been sweltering through three times more than its normal share of extra-hot summer nights, government weather records show. And that is a particularly dangerous trend.

During heat waves, like the one that now has a grip on much of the East, one of the major causes of heat deaths is the lack of night cooling that would normally allow a stressed body to recover, scientists say.

Some scientists say the trend is a sign of manmade global warming.

A top federal research meteorologist said he "almost fell out of my chair" when he looked over U.S. night minimum temperature records over the past 96 years and saw the skyrocketing trend of hot summer nights.

From 2001 to 2005, on average nearly 30 percent of the nation had "much above normal" average summertime minimum temperatures, according to the National Climatic Data in Asheville, N.C.

By definition, "much above normal" means low temperatures that are in the highest 10 percent on record. On any given year about 10 percent of the country should have "much above normal" summer-night lows.

Yet in both 2005 and 2003, 36 percent of the nation had much above normal summer minimums. In 2002 it was 37 percent. While the highest-ever figure was in the middle of America's brutal Dust Bowl, when 41 percent of the nation had much above normal summer-night temperatures, the rolling five-year average of 2001-05 is a record - by far.

Figures from this year's sweltering summer have not been tabulated yet, but they are expected to be just as high as recent years.

And it is not just the last five years. Each of the past eight years has been far above the normal 10 percent. During the past decade, 23 percent of the nation has had hot summer nights. During the past 15 years, that average has been 20 percent. By comparison, from 1964 to 1968 only 2 percent of the country on average had abnormally hot nights.

"This is unbelievable," said National Climatic Data Center research meteorologist Richard Heim. "Something strange has happened in the last 10 to 15 years on the minimums."

But it is not surprising because climate models, used to forecast global warming, have been predicting this trend for more than 20 years, said Jerry Mahlman, a climate scientist at National Center for Atmospheric Research and a top federal climate modeler.

It is a telltale sign of global warming, Mahlman said: "The smoking gun is still smoking; it's not shooting people yet."

One reason global warming is suspected in summer-night temperatures is that daytime air pollution slightly counteracts warming but is not as prevalent at night, said Bill Chameides, a climate scientist for the advocacy group Environmental Defense.

The records for summer-night low temperatures are part of a U.S. Climate Extremes Index developed by the National Climatic Data Center. Last year, in large part because of record hurricane activity, saw the most extreme weather in the United States since 1910.

Excellent article by a totally unbiased scientist. Thanks Col. It's obvious that Bush's policies have started this problem and only more taxation and spending the money to outlaw anything that impacts the environment is the real answer.

Thankfully, Bush will be out of office before too long and someone will be in office who will raise our taxes and fix all of these problems right away. Having too much money to spend leads to all sorts of problems and higer taxes will fix that. I'm looking forward to hauling freight in a horse drawn wagon, should be fun.

" Last year, in large part because of record hurricane activity, saw the most extreme weather in the United States since 1910."

Listen to notBush!! Obviously in 1910 there was a Bush at work ruining the environment!! Other scientists say that the world hasn't been this hot in 400 YEARS!!! Obviously Bush policies were hard at work ruining the planet 400 YEARS AGO!!! Consequently, we can assume that GW Bush is IMMORTAL!!!

Of course he is. Don't be silly, everyone knows he's the AntiChrist.
