				<p><strong>Better start praying</strong></p><p>This a joke--and not a very good one. &nbsp;</p><p>
Earlier today Carl Pope, our Executive Director, said: </p><p>
"The president is throwing a Hail Mary to polluters in a last-ditch effort to stave off any meaningful action on global warming. &nbsp;Under the president's plan we'll need a real miracle to save us from global warming."</p><p>
Better start praying...</p>

				<p><strong>Yeah, - considering how much</strong></p><p>damage the Bush admin has done, I don't trust anything that man says. I mean how can we really trust a person that took US into a war, and is spending billions versus actually thinking about the climate change!</p><p>
Sorry, I am not buying his BS anymore! </p>

				<p><strong>Thank Godzilla he can't enforce it...</strong></p><p>...I know we all say that we should enforce regulations and limits to GHG emissions, but, for once, I'm thankful we can't at this point.</p><p>
Enforcement under Bush would be a joke. &nbsp;We'd have GHG emissions climb for next few years before they would decline under his plan.</p><p>
Stop GHG emission growth by 2025? &nbsp;We should have it well below current levels by 2025, not stop the growth at 2025 levels!</p><p>
Of course, he'll probably cry out that we met out target early since recent studies suggest GHG emissions in the U.S. went down 'bout 1% in 2006 and 2007, and probably will do so again in 2008 with the slowdown in construction and increases in fuel prices curbin' demand. &nbsp;Then he'll try and take credit for it.</p><p>
Luckily, I think it's safe to say that nobody will believe him.</p>

				<p><strong>&quot;...to more rapidly slow the growth...&quot;</strong></p><p>Now there's a rallying cry we can all get behind.</p><p>
Along similar lines:<br>
"to more successfully fail to achieve any progress"<br>
"to more clearly obfuscate the obvious message"<br>
"to more proactively delay an interventionist strategy"</br></br></br></p>

				<p><strong>fuzzy warming</strong></p><p>All good things come from growth;</p><p>
economy and ecology, we can have both.</p><p>
But beware government regulation,</p><p>
since it is clearly bad for the nation.</p><p>
Let's support our nukes and coal,</p><p>
to help them meet our future goal</p><p>
of slowing down the rise</p><p>
of the gas which we despise.</p><p>
Because scientists created this mess,</p><p>
let them give us more from less.</p><p>
We'll give them faith, but not a dollar,</p><p>
don't let them lead, but make them follar.

				<p><strong>Guaranteed death in a speech<p>What a complete twat!<p>
"The growth in emissions will slow over the next decade, stop by 2025, and begin to reverse thereafter, so long as technology continues to advance."<p>
Apart from the conditional nature of this comment, continued growth in emissions until 2025 at the current rate will <strong>GUARANTEE death to all but a few hardy species on Earth.<p>
The more politicians speak about technology the more virulently anti-technology I get. No solution is effective unless it delivers: technology since the industrial revolution has delivered us to the brink of catastrophe.
