Bush May be making Hurricanes Worse

For all those on the U.S. East Coast inconvenienced or endangered by the hurricane season, you should be aware that George W. Bush’s gutting of the Kyoto Protocol and his opposition to practical measures to stop global warming have the potential to cause mega-hurricanes in the future. Hurricanes are caused by warm ocean water. The warmer the water, and the less cool water in surrounding areas, the worse the hurricane.

Bush’s promotion of global warming may help provoke enormous, furious hurricanes that denude Carribean islands and endanger the lives and property of most Floridians in particular. See
