Bush is "solving" global warming
If by "solving" he meant "lying about and contributing to", you would be correct. From United Press International:
In an interview with People magazine, President George W. Bush said there is "a worthy debate" on whether global warming is caused by human activities.

"It's a debate, actually, that I'm in the process of solving by advancing new technologies, burning coal cleanly in electric plants, or promoting hydrogen-powered automobiles, or advancing ethanol as an alternative to gasoline," he said.

Bush said the major question on climate change is whether it is caused by human activities.
I'm reminded of something I wrote earlier about "An Incovenient Truth":
Casting doubt on something so clear as the disastrous, growing effects of global warming has long been a right-wing goal. In the movie, for instance, (Al) Gore presents a study done on a large sample of peer-reviewed journals looking at the percentage of articles casting doubt on global warming. The study found no dissenting opinion. None. Gore then presented a similar study of mainstream news reports. More than half of the reports cast doubt on the issue the scientific community is unanimously behind. So, in this way, the denial lobby has already won, their chief product being doubt, not energy.

2. Well great, Bu$h has solved global warming.
I guess we can all go shopping, i thought it may be a bit more difficult, but what do i and the worlds leading experts know.

Again this admin shows it's utter contempt for science, with the line about the debate over the cause of global warming being human. The only debate i'm aware of, is the lack of IQ from the decider.

3. His very good plan is to let industry do what they want knowing they will
do what is good for the planet and not themselves. Republicans always are looking out for the earth and never themselves.

5. Here are morons* solutions...
"It's a debate" - sorry moron* there no longer is a debate, global warming is a reality.

"actually, that I'm in the process of solving by advancing new technologies" - clue us in to these wonderous new techs, will you? or are you like hitler and promising a new secret weapon each week to win the war?

"burning coal cleanly in electric plants" - reality, coal will never ever be burned clean.

"Promoting hydrogen-powered automobiles" - just because you promote it, doesn't make it real. that tech is 20 years away, if we are lucky

"or advancing ethanol as an alternative to gasoline" - it will never ever fill our needs for gas. All it is a a giant pay out to your agracorp buddies.

More bullshit from the king of the bullshit artists.
