News: Democrats: Katrina, global warming is fault of Bush

Do President Bush and so-called "global warming" have anything to do with the catastrophic damage caused by Hurricane Katrina? Yes, according to some politicians and public figures, who are already politicizing the disaster. Among them is Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a lawyer and environmentalist who is a host on the Air America Radio network.
"The science is clear," writes Kennedy, son of slain New York Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, in a commentary at HuffingtonPost.com. "This month, a study published in the journal Nature by a renowned MIT climatologist linked the increasing prevalence of destructive hurricanes to human-induced global warming."
Kennedy cites a 2001 memo sent to President Bush from Haley Barbour, the governor of Mississippi – a state devastated by Katrina – arguing against the regulation of carbon-dioxide gases, saying Barbour himself derided the idea of regulating CO2 as "eco-extremism."
"Now we are all learning what it's like to reap the whirlwind of fossil-fuel dependence which Barbour and his cronies have encouraged. Our destructive addiction has given us a catastrophic war in the Middle East and – now – Katrina is giving our nation a glimpse of the climate chaos we are bequeathing our children."
Ross Gelbspan, author of ''The Heat Is On" and ''Boiling Point," agrees with Kennedy, saying Katrina's "real name is global warming."
"Unfortunately, very few people in America know the real name of Hurricane Katrina because the coal and oil industries have spent millions of dollars to keep the public in doubt about the issue," Gelbspan said.

(User Info | Send a Message) | When the hurricane first hit, I said to my kids "it's Bush's fault" and they all laughed. I told them that I was serious in pointing out the ridiculous notions of the liberals. Then, the next day I read the "global warming" claims. I pointed out to my kids, and they sat stunned, unable to figure out how their old dad knew that the libs would make such assertions. Duh...I wonder?
