Why Bush Resists 'Enlightened Conversation'

Because he's busy fighting a world war, American Marxists, socialists, liberals and dhimmicrats.

"why no one is having an 'enlightened conversation' with President Bush on global warming."

That's as far as I got reading this article; my question to Mr. rose would be, "Why isn't anyone having an 'enlightened conversation' with President Bush about the 'Tooth Fairy'?". I mean as long as we're talking fantasy, let's thrown in 'Santa Claus', 'The Easter Bunny' and secondary smoke, too.

But I guess the good point is, most of us would never know what the likes of Charlie Rose and Larry King say if someone didn't post it on FR. Liberal TV for liberals, and the only reason it's hot outside is that it is almost July.

If you haven't been to http://www.climateaudit.org ,you really should. It's a blog by Steve McIntire, one of the scientists who exposed the flaws in the "hockey stick" analysis. It's a fascinating read - and it shows that the MSM is over-spinning this NAS report on global warming.

I'm sure the 200 brie and Birkenstock liberals who actually watched Charlie Rose that night were amused and probably celebrated by opening a bottle of organically grown, free traded and environmentaly friendly manufactured tofu wine and carefully recycled the bottle afterward.

...environmentally friendly manufactured tofu wine and carefully recycled the bottle afterward.

 

We don't need to know where they recycled the bottle...

The media is full of intellectuals manque. Bill Moyers is another prime example.

You're right about the ecowackos. Global warming is just the latest social myth they've created to drive their agenda. The myth of depleting resources was becoming less effective; as all of the doomsday predictions were proven dramatically wrong.

Interestingly enough, many of the doom-sayers still hold to the scarce resources myth; as well as the global warming myth. Lately, when confronted with a global warming true-believer; I remark on the high price of oil, and ask whether the world is running out of fossil fuels. "Of course we are" is the usual response. My rejoinder is to say something like: "well that should solve the greenhouse gas problem". Then, I like to stand back and watch the smoke rise from their ears.

Ummmm... Maybe Bush doesn't like iced tea???
