Burning legacy: Bush is responsible for ignoring global warming

http://www.sltrib.com/opinion/ci_7518296

George W. Bush's legacy may not be primarily that of a warmonger who attacked a sovereign nation that had not attacked us, or as a president who took office with a budget surplus and sank the country into the deepest pit of debt in its history.

He may not even be best known as the American who turned much of the world against America.

History will record those negatives, to be sure, but over time, Bush is likely to be remembered as the world leader who fiddled while the Earth increasingly simmered beneath a heat-trapping band of greenhouse gases produced by burning fossil fuels.

More than any other one person, George Bush is to blame for the disaster that global warming will undoubtedly bring. That is because he not only denied it was happening, even as scientists produced mounting evidence to the contrary, but ordered scientific reports doctored to minimize the danger. As the leader of the country most guilty of flooding the atmosphere with carbon gases, Bush's refusal to act will one day be seen for what it is: a crime against all of humanity.

His misdeeds will eventually catch up with him.

"His misdeeds will eventually catch up with him." I'm real scared no one will look even a few years back.. no one will even care or realize what a big part his presidency is of what's happening, they won't stop thinking of me&mine long enough to see what's happening to EVERYONE.
We needed to start taking responsibility in the 60's/70's but I guess I can't blame those presidents for not knowing. But such a dramatic difference could have been made lately if the court hadn't made Bush president.. I'm getting sick thinking of how many people are screwing over the entire world lately x( excuse me
