Florida Billboards Blame Bush for Hurricanes -- 10/26/2004

Florida Billboards Blame Bush for Hurricanes -- 10/26/2004: "Because President George W. Bush has 'ignored the threat of global warming,' Floridians can expect to be hit by increasingly destructive hurricanes, a new billboard campaign says.

The billboards, going up along Interstate 4 between Tampa and Orlando -- a week before the presidential election -- read, 'Global warming equals worse hurricanes. George Bush just doesn't get it.' The billboards show a photo of a hurricane swirling toward Florida.

The campaign is co-sponsored by Scientists and Engineers for Change and Environment2004. The NAACP National Voter Fund is also involved in the effort to blame Bush for ignoring global warming."
