A Simple Plan

It never occured to me that Bush would actually welcome Global Warming. I just thought he didn't give a crap. The light bulb went on when I saw this passage from and article on global warming posted on NewScientist. Call me slow. I could never win at King Maker either.

Just what we need, a profit incentive FOR global warming.
