Following the worst hurricane on record, Bush is working to insure it happens
again. His efforts to help the hurricanes out is simple – increase pollution.

While there seems to be growing debate over the cause and effects of global
warming, we are seeing the early signs of a climate shift. We have had a record
hurricane season, deadly heat waves, devastating droughts and record snow fall
last winter. Also we can not forget the shrinking size of the polar ice caps.

Global warming is a misleading term. While the planet is getting warmer, it
also leads to more drastic changes in climate. Green house gases are the number
one cause of the decrease in our ozone layer. This causes the planet to warm and
cool at greater extremes, as the ozone layer provides a level of insulation to
the entire planet.

So how is Bush responding to this threat against the globe? From today’s

Washington Post:

The Bush administration has drafted regulations that would ease pollution
controls on older, dirtier power plants and could allow those that modernize
to emit more pollution, rather than less.

In the name of saving corporate dollars, Bush is allowing the power industry
to further pollute the planet. John Walke, the director of clean air for the
National Resources Defense Council told the post:

 “This radical proposal is a 180-degree flip-flop from what the
administration has been arguing in court. Instead of protecting public
health, now EPA wants to protect the polluters. The proposal would
completely sabotage clean-air law enforcement, and it would be open season
for power plants to pollute even more than they do now.”

This should come as no surprise. Bush’s Clear Skies Initiative actually
reduced the standards that were set under its predecessor, the Clean Air Act.

While we see the death and total destruction that Hurricane Katrina brought
to the Gulf Coast, we must step back and reflect. Bush is worst than the
terrorists that attacked us on September 11. They attacked with a cause and
message. Bush is terrorizing every living organism on the face of this planet.
He is terrorizing without prejudice. His only motive is money and loyalty to his
former employers. It is time to have him replaced with someone who will worry
about our environment and the longevity of the planet before other world leaders
decide to have him replaced.
