Democrats newly in control of Congress and other critics of President Bush's environmental policies pounced on the long-awaited United Nations report like fresh meat.
"Although President Bush just noticed that the earth is heating up, the American public, every reputable scientist and other world leaders have long recognized that global warming is real and it's serious. The time to act is now," said Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., who with GOP Sen. Olympia Snowe (news, bio, voting record) of Maine crafted one of a half-dozen competing bills to address global warming.
Rep. Edward Markey (news, bio, voting record), D-Mass., a senior member of House panels on energy and natural resources, said that "for those who are still trying to determine responsibility for global warming, this new U.N. report on climate change is a scientific smoking gun."

How can so many supposedly intelligent people be so stupid?
Bush should come out and say, due to this report we plan on building 30 nuclear power plants over the next 20 years. See what the whackos say then.
An aggressive solution that would be free to FedGov is to repeal the Treaty.
Woo Hoo!
Bush bump!
"unintended consequences"
Why does that sound like a dual meaning?
Is Co2 pollution and falls under the Clean Air Act ! ?
What is it that qualifies someone as a top scientist?
Some evangelical Christians who helped Bush win re-election in 2004 demanded he provide more world leadership on the issue in light of the new U.N. report.
I can't help but wonder if these so-called "evangelical Christians" worship the creation rather than the Creator.
I'm getting really tired of the man-made emissions ABOUT
(alleged) global warming.
The same "scientists" who have contributed to and prepared this "paper on global warming" are often hard core enviros.
They do everything they can to stop wind farms, nuclear power, hydroelectric power, etc.
Their favorite President let Bruce Babbitt run wild, and Clinton himself closed off millions of acres where the cleanest burning coal deposits known to man were known to be and were ready to be mined.
I am more than a little tired of all their hypocritical words and actions. They use hundreds of products every day that cannot be produced without some sort of energy.
They use cell phones, and then scream the loudest against cell towers.
TOTAL HYPOCRITES, IMO.
If bullshit caused global warming, they'd be sun-bathing on the beach in Greenland.
OK, Kick all illegals out. Limit visits by tourist and business men/women. Give it a try for 20 years, see how much CO2 drops. Watch the bastards squeal.
You owe the President an apology ping.....

Hey Longface, you don't speak for me.
Eat shyte EU.
I would like one of these nuts to show the scientific proof that their hypothesis that man causes global warming is true. Just one. Correlation is not causation.
The Earth is warming, that's a fact. Been warming for the last 15,000 years, since the end of the last ice age. Man causing it, that's not a scientific fact.
BTW: Anyone know why the last ice age melted?
