The problem with making policy based on weather patterns, is that right now, science is not able to put together a model that provides meaning.
Pollution, whether or not it causes global warming, is bad. And, what have the demolibs proposed to do anything about it?
I will tell you what Bush and Cheney are doing. Something that works, without costing a lot of money. No, the right answer is that the solution will not only be effective, it will be profitable.

FOR THOSE DEMS WHO CLAIM BUSH IS OWNED BY BIG OIL
The Clinton administration (including "Mr. Green Schemes" Al Gore) implemented a plan for high-mileage cars. Their billion dollar program called for the auto industry to develop cars that would get up to 70 miles a gallon by use of lighter alloys and more efficient engines. Well, the Bush administration has announced plans to scrap the Clinton plan and push to develop new cars using hydrogen fuel-cell technology, instead. This is the only sane long-term idea because this takes us completely away from dependence on foreign oil...AND domestic oil. The only byproduct of hydrogen fuel-cells is environmentally-friendly water. And one of the ways to get hydrogen is from natural gas – something we have an abundance of – and it appears that fuel-cell cars could be on the market in as little as 5-10 years. This is a brilliant political, economic, and even national security move on Bush’s part. It trumps the Dems on the issues of Big Oil and ANWR, it completely changes our politics toward the Middle East, it sparks a new technology boom which could spur the economy, and it even succeeds environmentally where Al Gore failed...bringing an end to the internal combustion engine...and that, friends, will have OPEC shaking in their boots.
Don’t look for Bush to get any credit for this though. That just wouldn’t be politically correct.
