No, I really do not want Global Warming to actually happen and mess up everyone’s good time, but this guy is off his rocker. I want to remind him that his precious Kyoto Protocol received a tentative 99-1 vote in the US Senate. I know we never actually “officially” voted for or against ratification, but the point is that even if, and I do mean if, the President did change course and sign the Protocol, it would not stand a snowballs chance in hell of passing. Secretly the environmentalists know this and are glad the President pulled out of the treaty. After all, if he had sent it to the Senate and it got slapped back in his face, then who would they blame for the worlds problems?

Anyway, this guy definitely lost me after the first line of the second paragraph and the first line of the third paragraph:

In the disaster-flick genre, there are always two crucial moments when characters must commit acts of breathtaking stupidity, or else there would be no imminent danger and thus no movie. One, of course, is when somebody we’re meant to care about decides to run toward the erupting volcano, rather than away from it. The other comes earlier in the movie, when some Benighted Authority Figure (B.A.F.) looks out the window at the columns of smoke and brimstone belching from nearby Mount Sinister and snaps, “Problem? I don’t see any problem, and I’ll tell you one thing: There’s not gonna be any evacuation, not on my watch. Now everybody back to work.”

Bush is playing the B.A.F. in a movie titled “Heat Wave,” and Irwin Allen — long ago gone to that Lost World in the sky — would be proud.

So, President Bush is “breathtakingly stupid”? Nice way to begin your op-ed.

Also, there are more than a “few qualified scientists” who think Global Warming is bunk.
