What Bush Doesn't Get About The Enviornment

In his response to the report on global warming the President has acknowledged that there is a problem and it needs work, but that one couldn't wreck economies fixing the problem.

What the President doesn't get is that fixing the problem of global warming (if we can) is going to cost money, serious money. It is going to cost the American people more, not less, money in the short term and maybe even the long term. However, it is a matter of survival for future generations.

Doing nothing, or doing what the President is suggesting -- working on the problem gradually -- will cost even more. It is a question of "pay me now or pay me later." Either way, we are going to have to pay for what we have done to the planet.
