Global Warming for Food?
Edited on Sat May-27-06 07:26 PM by The_Warmth
I have no idea of the credibility behind the author (Domenic Debs & August Riis), if someone with that knowledge could post on that matter.

To summarize, a quote from the article: “We don’t stop global warming. We accelerate it. We may lose some cities but the people will simply move. Through the expansion of ocean mass, we will produce enough kelp to feed all the people on earth.” George W. Bush, 02.25.01

Sorry if the article is total BS =/.

Edit: Left out link, I know I'm stupid, quiet. http://internationalpress.blogspot.com/
Article: George Bush: Tragic Hero of the Environmental Movement (on front as of 5/27)

1. Dubya isn't smart enough to have said that.

2. Surf & Turf will never be the same. If the price of good, viable earth
goes up.. the elites in the USA will start to eat it.

3. The article is satire
Read the whole thing. It says that, while Bush was still in the National Guard, he began a "life-long obsession with the world population explosion." Lest anyone take this assertion seriously, the authors describe the young airman's vision of starving humans seeking food, a vision that was "a combination of the Israelites in lost in the desert and 'Night of the Living Dead,' (a popular film at the time)."

And check out this passage: "All along, George W. Bush knew he would feed the roving bands of starving people, the wretched of the earth as one of his favorite authors termed it." Do you think the anticolonialist Frantz Fanon, author of The Wretched of the Earth, is really one of Shrub's favorite authors? I'd be willing to bet that Shrub has never even heard of Fanon.
