GW Bridge Fall Explained

No, it's not the George Washington Bridge, named after the President who could not tell a lie. It's the Global Warming Bridge, as we could know the I-35W bridge from now on because of some who do lie. The latest hyped claim on the bridge collapse comes from an official and scientist with the former Clinton administration and who works in a "think-tank" loosely affiliated with the Clintons. Is it possible that he really believes this stuff? What follows are selections from his recent article.

Some may object to even asking the question, “Did climate change contribute to the Minneapolis bridge collapse?” My guess is those are the same people who deny that global warming is caused by humans or that it is a serious problem — the same people who inevitably say “we can adapt to whatever climate change there is.”

The Bush administration has blocked research into the impact of climate change on this country and muzzled climate scientists from discussing key climate impact issues, such as the connection between global warming and the recent increase in intense Atlantic hurricanes....

But given that a remarkable 70,000 other bridges in the country are also structurally deficient, we should seek to learn whether such troubled bridges can take the ever-growing stresses generated by global warming.

I knew that Bush was behind the fallen bridge somewhere. Maybe Hillary Clinton will tell us what she will do for those other 70,000 bridges. Perhaps she could melt down ships, tanks, and planes into steel reinforcing bars. If global warming is really the greatest threat to mankind, then why spend on the military?
