The Hideous Truth

[Pryderi]

Because the Bush administration has doctored scientific research and lied about the environment, I worry about what the truth is about the environment.

[Posteritatis]

1. I imagine it will be hideous (nt)

[ananda]

2. It IS hideous.

The planet's ability to support life is
seriously compromised... and the encroachments
of corporations in exploiting land and water
rights are downright heinous.

3. Kurt Vonnegut had it right

And I agree with him.

“We could have saved the Earth but we were too damned cheap.” - Kurt Vonnegut

We're too far gone. There's no coming back.

It's hopeless.

[Lint Head]

4. That doctoring will kill us all.

I guess we will just sit back and let Bush, Cheney and Rove not only kill innocent people in Iraq but we will allow these criminals
to kill us all.

5. Bush just made it worse

We knew about global warming in the 70s, but we are so hooked on convenience that it was easier to stay in denial.

But I don't believe it is too late. It will take a major turnaround. You have to confront everything, starting with ourselves. Education and confrontation are key.

[Enthusiast]

6. Fossil fuel interests have

obscured the issue. They have pumped millions into obfuscation of global warming. They still deny it is a real phenomenon.
