Why don't they just issue a blanket statement: "Global warming causes everything that's bad".

Actually they have to keep a stream of these scare stories going to keep getting their grants.

The news media snaps them up because fear/scare stories sell and besides, the news media is in bed with liberals, most of whom believe that the remedy for global warming is destroying capitalism.

Note that Kyoto or Bush was not mentioned.  If it is happening SO fast, it must be Bush's fault.
