- Peace Garden: Bush vs. Gore - Round II

Bush vs. Gore - Round II

Tuesday, May 23, 2006

It seems W won't be going to see "An Inconvenient Truth." (Truthout.org)

"New technologies will change how we live and how we drive our cars, which all will have the beneficial effect of improving the environment," Bush said. "And in my judgment we need to set aside whether or not greenhouse gases have been caused by mankind or because of natural effects and focus on the technologies that will enable us to live better lives and at the same time protect the environment."
Gore said the causes of global warming should not be ignored.
"Why should we set aside the global scientific consensus," Gore said, his voice rising with emotion. "Is it because Exxon Mobil wants us to set it aside? Why should we set aside the conclusion of scientists in the United States, including the National Academy of Sciences, and around the world including the 11 most important national academies of science on the globe and substitute for their view the view of Exxon Mobil. Why?"
"I'm a grandfather and he's a father and this should not be a political issue," Gore said. "And he should ask the National Academy of Sciences ... whether or not human beings are contributing to global warming."
W and his crew are the few who want to ignore global warming's causes and outcomes. They won't see the movie, but I will.

I wonder how much it would cost to project the movie somewhere on The Mall? As long as it is visible from the White House it may be worth it!
