Other than kowtowing to his Big Energy business friends, what other reason is there for not believing in global warming???
BUSH MISLEADS ON GLOBAL WARMING
Campaigning for the presidency in 2000, George W. Bush promised to place mandatory caps on carbon dioxide emissions to control global warming.[1] After he assumed office - in what was widely seen as payback for the energy industry that helped finance his campaign - Bush quickly reneged on his pledge.[2] Bush claimed such regulations were inappropriate because there was no clear scientific link between human activity and global warming.[3]

I got this from my friend, Jim. It kind of makes you think about life...
Years ago someone sent me
a pretty wicker basket with
polished wooden apples in it.
The note read,
"To Super Woman";
that was all.
I wanted to thank the mystery giver,
but after asking for a week
I became resigned that I'd probably
never learn who had been so thoughtful.
Then I had an idea.
There were 12 apples in the basket.
When I did a kindness for someone~
anonymously if possible~
I would take one apple out of the basket
and set it aside.
When I had performed 12 acts of kindness
and taken all the apples out of the basket,
I would feel that I had
thanked my unknown friend.
As the weeks passed,
the basket began to empty.
Then I noticed something else:
I became more aware of nice things
others did for me.
So I added a twist.
The next time I received a kindness,
I put an apple back into the basket.
Gradually, my determination to empty
the basket was foiled!
For you see, all these years later,
I'm still trying to empty it.
