WASHINGTON – When Bill Clinton took office in 1993, global warming was a slow-moving environmental problem that was easy to ignore. Now it is a ticking time bomb that President-elect Barack Obama can't avoid.

Since Clinton's inauguration, summer Arctic sea ice has lost the equivalent of Alaska, California and Texas. The 10 hottest years on record have occurred since Clinton's second inauguration. Global warming is accelerating. Time is close to running out, and Obama knows it.
"The time for delay is over; the time for denial is over," he said on Tuesday after meeting with former Vice President Al Gore, who won a Nobel Peace Prize for his work on global warming. "We all believe what the scientists have been telling us for years now that this is a matter of urgency and national security and it has to be dealt with in a serious way."
But there are powerful political and economic realities that must be quickly overcome for Obama to succeed. Despite the urgency he expresses, it's not at all clear that he and Congress will agree on an approach during a worldwide financial crisis in time to meet some of the more crucial deadlines.

AP, “Science Journalist”. Says it all.
Exactly! The only time that is running out, is the time before they are exposed as frauds.
Must be an intern who will land a nice PR job in her dad’s agency.
ticking time bomb is the US debt/governemtn spending and collapse of US dollar
Bingo!
The NAZIs insisted that the Jews were responsible for all of Germany’s problems.
The Liberals insist that human emissions of carbon dioxide cause global warming.
The NAZIs obviously were much more evil than the Liberals; but both groups are equally impervious to evidence, and quite insane.
“Obama Left With Little Time To Curb Global Warming”
