Florida Billboards Blame Bush for Hurricanes

(CNSNews.com) - Because President George W. Bush has "ignored the threat of global warming," Floridians can expect to be hit by increasingly destructive hurricanes, a new billboard campaign says.

The billboards, going up along Interstate 4 between Tampa and Orlando -- a week before the presidential election -- read, "Global warming equals worse hurricanes. George Bush just doesn't get it." The billboards show a photo of a hurricane swirling toward Florida.

The campaign is co-sponsored by Scientists and Engineers for Change and Environment2004. The NAACP National Voter Fund is also involved in the effort to blame Bush for ignoring global warming.

A press release announcing the billboard campaign quoted Michael Oppenheimer, a professor of geosciences and international affairs at Princeton: "The damage from this year's hurricanes should be taken as a sign of things to come," Oppenheimer said. "The warming ocean surface will supply more and more heat to future hurricanes, causing their winds to strengthen and their destructive power to increase disproportionately."

Aimee Christensen, executive director of Environment2004, said President Bush has "pursued an energy policy driven by industry, which puts polluters before people." She said the Florida billboard campaign is intended to "raise awareness" of how Bush administration policies are "harming the people of Florida."

Christensen said people in the hard-hit Tampa and Orlando areas "need to know that Bush is doing practically nothing to prevent hurricanes from getting worse in the future from global warming."

Gregory T. Moore, head of the NAACP's National Voter Fund, said his organization has launched an effort to inform minorities how they are "more heavily impacted by environmental threats," such as stronger hurricanes.

"Here in Florida," Moore added in a non sequitur, "there are still 90,000 people homeless because of the hurricanes, and they should have the right to vote."

Not all scientists subscribe to theories that global warming is caused by man -- much less the supposed link between global warming and stronger hurricanes. Many scientists say hurricane activity is cyclical; and no one's sure what, if any, impact global warming will have on the frequency and intensity of storms.

Scientists and Engineers for Change describes itself as a "political committee that believes science and technology are crucial building blocks for American prosperity." It opposes Bush administration policies.

Environment2004 also describes itself as "a political organization dedicated to electing leaders who understand the importance of environmental protection." The group also is anti-Bush.

He should have signed the Kyoto treaty. He had no reason not to signed it. Global warming is a reality in this dangerous future we are creating.

With all due respect, Gemen, Global warming issues are highly speculative. See the article I posted where weather experts/researchers debunk this approach. Even the head of the Hurricane center here, a well trained expert in his field and a TV personality in hurricane season, discredits the theory that global warming is responsible for hurricanes, especially this season.

I'm glad we did not sign the Kyoto treaty. It is lopsided and does not nail and make countries like China and Mexico accountable for worse pollution. Many countries that spit many more tons of poison are not called on the carpet thus showing the hypocrisy of countries and of the organization. It shows how much these folks hate the USA because we are a super-power and prosperous. Folks like the Baby Queen here have a cow and want to reduce us all to poverty and a second rate nation by bringing all of us to our knees bowing to thug nations and America haters.

True China and Mexico are worse at polluting the enviroment. With all due respect, there is proof that global waming has impacted the globe that is a scientific fact. I mean of course Bush is going to have scientists debunk the global warming theories (I wouldnt be suprised if it was funded by Exxon/ Mobil or texaco ).. Even though it is also due to his reliance and allegiance with his old world oil connections. I can only hope that he does see some error in not advancing finding a treaty that all countries can agree on to curb polluton. I will admit and agree with you though some of these liberal idiots you wrote about in the article make educated moderates like me look bad.
To be totally honest i do think the world is getting hotter. I think it was going to happen anyway but we are advancing as well as enhancing this process.
I just would say Bush is dancing around this problem becuase one he is empathetic to it and has other serious issues.
