MoveOn: Bush to Blame For 'Extreme' Hurricane Season

Attempting to take political advantage of the devastating hurricanes that have hit Florida and the southeastern section of the United States in the past few weeks, liberal political action group MoveOn.org is saying that President George W. Bush is to blame for "making extreme weather stronger."

In an e-mail to supporters, MoveOn.org rhetorically asks "why such extreme weather" has taken place with Hurricanes Charley, Frances, and Ivan causing billions of dollars in property damage and loss of life.

"Scientists agree that global warming makes sea levels rise and makes storms stronger, because temperature shifts disrupt the normal balance," MoveOn.org explained. "Warmer water makes more violent hurricanes."

The group added that insurance companies such as Swiss Re and Munich Re say "global warming is causing more losses."

Ridiculing President George W. Bush for "handing out emergency aid" in Florida while doing "nothing to reduce global warming," MoveOn.org contends that the president has "done a lot to make the problem worse" and has caused the massive hurricanes to form.

Asking its members to write letters to the editor of their local newspapers, MoveOn.org offers key "talking points, sample letters, and a tool to find your local paper."

MoveOn.org points the finger at Bush, saying that he has "helped the oil companies drill more, and the big polluters pollute more, at every opportunity" while he "has done nothing to stop global warming pollution, which is making extreme weather stronger."

The leftist group supporting Democratic presidential nominee John F. Kerry said Bush "walked away from the Kyoto Protocol, the only major international treaty to curb global warming pollution" and allegedly "broke a campaign pledge to limit emissions of CO2, the biggest global warming pollutant."

Blaming Bush for giving "tens of billions of dollars in subsidies to oil and coal industries that cause most of this pollution," MoveOn.org said the president has done "virtually nothing to make our use of these energy sources more efficient or to promote cleaner alternatives."

Again accusing Bush of being responsible for the hurricanes, MoveOn.org said the letter campaign will get the word out of how dangerous weather is connected to the occupant of the White House.

"By writing to our local papers, we can reach out to neighbors who are concerned about the extreme weather but don't yet know the connection to President Bush protecting the polluters," MoveOn.org argued.

The e-mail concluded, "And best of luck coping with the weather."

Wow, thats really somethin. I wonder if this is the first time that bad weather has ever been attributed to a president......crazy.

[Guest koppen]

My tummy hurts can I blame Kerry for it cause he makes me sick?...LOL

[Guest kitkat]

Oh for crying out loud!! That is so ridiculous. If 100,000 people DO believe that or anybody believes that, they truly are stupid.

God controls the wind and weather and I guess if the democrats are stupid enough to believe that Bush does, let them think that. It just proves they are grasping at straws. Their desparation is showing. LOL

Well, Bush has not done anything to slow down the supposed "global warming" and did make some comments about that after he took office.

So if you are a person who is unrealistically concerned about global warming, there is a very small step to blame bush, and I can see why they would say that.

I have close relatives that are more concerned about global warming than the return of the Lord, and they do blame the Bushes for those things. In their minds they are to blame, and Moveon.org tends to speak to those folks.

Ted, I think there are many many more than 100,000 that will agree with them, and it is hard to have a discussion with those folks because they are convinced that global warming is going to kill us all. I have to deal with this subject at every family get together, and I can assure you that it isn't nearly as comical as you guys think. They are basing a lot of life decisions on these things, and for me it's kind of spooky to see some of the things they are doing and planing.

Global warming, if it exists, is among the least of our problems as I can see it. I'm more concerned in our killing ourselves off long before global warming has the chance, that is if it really exists and if it does is the result of human activity and could be really stopped.

If we are concerned about carbon dioxide build up....... how much carbon dioxide do 7 billion people create each day........ now that is a really really scary thought in light of some of these fanatical types of people..... and I might add is much more concerning than who did what in or not in Viet Nam. It just depends on your perspective of things and what is important to each one of us.
