Climate Change and Mr. Bush

I just got mail from the folks at MoveOn asking me (all of us) to do something to get Bush moving on climate change. However, I have the eerie feeling any such exchange would go like this:
Citizen: Mr. President, we seriously need to do something to address climate change."

Bush: So? Turn the damned air conditioner on high. That's what I do."


Shaking head. Muttering expletives.

But let me give you the gist of it anyway:

The Senate will soon consider a bill sponsored by Senators John McCain and Joe Lieberman that would commit the United States to taking concrete actions to reduce global warming. You can help by signing our petition supporting the McCain-Lieberman Climate Stewardship Act, at:

The Senate is expected to vote on this bill within the next two weeks, and your Senators need to hear that you care. Our petition carries a powerful message to President Bush and members of Congress -- that we can't wait any longer to take action.
