president rested on the votes counted in Florida, which, incidental, went to pieces since there were various recounts in a couple of the counties. According to the US Constitution, the candidate has to have 67% of the Electoral Votes inorder to become president. Electoral votes are based on the number of senators from the state. That's why states with such large populations are the big targets for the candidates. If the candidate doesn't get 67% of the Electoral Votes, then the count goes to the popular vote (the actual number of votes cast, not just a generalization) total, which is what they were trying to figure out in Florida. Since the process of recounting resulting in three weeks worth of delegation in the US Supreme Court, which decides whether a recount should be done, it was finally decided that since not all the votes were counted, but enough to give an idea, they made GWB the President-Elect. Or as I like to put it, five bribable judges and a Republican on the bench. So, GWB isn't exactly what the American people wanted, but it was the Supreme Court "decided" was the option in the situation.
: Now, Xaniatic, granted CO2 has not been proven through years of study, but it is speculated that due to the lost of major rainforests in Central to South America, the Carbon Dioxide levels in the Earth's atmosphere has increased greatly over the past twenty to thirty years. Now with all this excess Carbon Dioxide in the air, it is mixing with the Carbon Monoxide (CO) and PCPs in the air and has been speculated to contribute to the deconstruction of the Ozone layer, which is O3+, (and certain ions of CO2 being CO2-). There is still a lot of study going on which this, but much specualation.
