(Full Disclosure: Gamecock is the attorney representing The Sun, which celestial body is the plaintiff in a Milky Way Court defamation lawsuit against defendants Al Gore and certain "scientists" who claim that Earthlings are responsible for global warming.)
Long before anyone suggested that Homo sapiens had usurped The Sun's function in providing warmth for Planet Earth, (and indeed at the heighth of the speculation by some scientists that said planet was in the midst of a cooling trend that threatened a new Ice Age in the 1970's) Man, especially that portion of which resides in the United States portion of the continent of North America, sought to more efficiently employ energy use from fossil fuels for economic purposes and sought to reduce pollution from the use of same for health purposes.
President George W. Bush, prior to 9/11, earned the ire of the greenies (read: displaced socialist/communist left, and their well-meaning useful idiots) as well as the Leftist Press, a large portion of elected DC Democrats and possibly John McCain and friends when he refused to sign the Kyoto Treaty that had been unanimously rejected by a Democrat controlled Senate under Bill Clinton.
That treaty, pushed by European nations intent on reducing America's competitiveness in the global economy, has never been complied with by those nations that did sign it, and has never been used as a club to criticize India and China for following America's lead.
Meanwhile, America has reduced pollution and increased energy efficiency by much more than the signers.
Bush has never accepted the theory that man causes the Earth to be warmer (MMGW) to any significant degree. (Which is why he is not a defendant in the aforementioned lawsuit).
He dances around the question when in the presence of believers of the MMGW Church as he is sensitive toward other religions, and sees no need to offend them to their face.
Hence, we read from the AP a/k/a al-AP:
THE HEADLINE
Bush Looking at Global Warming Ideas

(AP) President Bush, right, meets with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in the Oval Office of the White...
THE FIRST PARAGRAPH
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush on Thursday welcomed German Chancellor Angela Merkel's proposal to prod the Middle East peace process and said he was open to new ideas to combat global warming.
THE PENULTIMATE PARAGRAPGHS:
While Bush and Merkel are strong allies on many issues, there also are differences, including steps to combat global warming.
"We talked about climate change, and I assured the chancellor I'm committed to promoting new technologies that will promote energy efficiency and do a better job protecting the environment," Bush said.
Bush is a gentleman. They "talked" about the liberal German's MMGW religion. Bush "assured" that he would continue doing what America has been doing since Teddy Roosevelt's days, but especially since the days of the now defunct MMGC (man-made global cooling) Church days concerning energy efficiency (Earth to Lib-Dems-MSM Party: The USA is held hostage to dependence on foreign oil, much of which funds we spend on same funds terrorism-see 9/11) and pollution reduction.
GC has learned that there have been discussions that would re-name the MMGW Church to "The Chicken Little Church" so that it will be better positioned for future man-made trends.
The AP has apparently decided to make no changes in its misleading (read lying) "reporting" of the "news."
Plan your lives accordingly, and be thankful that President George W. Bush is President and that...
