Does Bush really care about the hurricane victims?

My heart goes out to the victims of Hurricane Katrina, which hit the Gulf Coast yesterday and caused unthinkable devastation.

George W. Bush has pledged federal support for the victims, and that's a good thing. But it's not enough.

Bush continually refuses to take steps to curb global warming, because it would inconvenience big corporations and cost them money to curb their emissions. But a recent MIT study offers compelling evidence that hurricanes "have grown significantly more powerful and destructive over the last three decades due in part to global warming."

Corporate greed, and Bush's ongoing support of that corporate greed, will continue to cause escalated death and devastation to regular Americans as long as regular Americans put up with it.

We have to fight back.
