I get so angry listening to him spout his lies that I could have a stroke. And when it comes to oil and fossil fuels, I am no expert but if there is anything worth having fear about, I think this is it, the effect of global warming on the environment. And I fear it's too late to stop now. I hope the effects will not be as bad as science has projected, but if it is, we could be headed not just for warm times, but outright extinction. Once scenario, the polar ice caps melt, the oceans warm, the cold sea water no longers sinks to the bottom, the ocean conveyer belt which comes to a screeching halt, the ocean stagnates and turns into a toxic brew, that outgases and poisons the planet killing most everything. Could it happen? I don't know but why even risk it? Remember when all that CO2 bubbled out that lake in Cameroon in the 1980's? It killed everything around the lake including a couple thousand people as I recall. Imagine the oceans doing that! I gave up listening to Bush years ago.
