Press Releases Contact: Brendan Daly 202-226-7616 For Immediate Release 04/06/2007 Pelosi on New Science Report: ‘Global Warming Already Underway, but It Is Not Too Late to Slow It Down’

Washington, D.C. -- Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement today on a report by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Working Group II on the effects of climate change:

“The new scientific report on global warming warns that global warming is already affecting the earth and that the effects are likely to be significant and widespread in this century, causing increased drought, drinking water shortages, and widespread extinction of species. Poor people around the world are especially vulnerable to the hazards of climate change.

“Global warming is already underway, but it is not too late to slow it down and reduce its harmful effects. We must base our actions on the moral imperative and the scientific record, free of political interference in scientists’ assessments of the effects of climate change on society and the environment.

“In this Holy Week, we are reminded of these words in the Old Testament: ‘To minister to the needs of God’s creation is an act of worship. To ignore those needs is to dishonor the God who made us.’ We must move quickly to honor God’s creation by reducing greenhouse gas pollution in the United States and around the world.”

We could use some global warming here in Michigan. It’s April and I still need to wear my winter jacket.

God can make the mess but she wants me to clean it up?

Needs a correction:

"We must move quickly to honor God’s Enron's creation by reducing greenhouse gas pollution in the United States and around the world.”

The average jet airliner burns from 9,000 to 12,000 lbs. of fuel per hour of flight.

So, how much fuel did this galavanting leftist burn on her recent tourist trip to the Middle East?

More than I'll burn in a life time, I'll bet.

I live in South Carolina and I wore my winter jacket today. Tomorrow is supposed to be colder, I have two peach trees with small fruit on them and an apple tree in bloom and I may lose both crops. Average date of the last frost here is supposed to be March 20.

Greetings from Grand Rapids where three to seven inches of snow is predicted for Easter.

Is there something I’m missing here? Doesn’t ‘global warming’ mean that the air temperature is going to get warmer?

I know, I know, don’t confuse the liberals with facts.

By the way, are the polar caps still melting on Mars? Must be those Martian SUVs.

Our side is not doing a good job of pinning down what the Libs think the real solution is if indeed Global Warming is proceeding as advertised.

The only real solutions if this is indeed the case are either reducing the world population to about 1 billion and/or eliminate all but a tiny fraction of autos and industry.

Oh way, does my side have to be so rhetorically incompetent?

Silly twit! Unseasonably cold weather is one of the undeniable signs of global warming. Do I need the sarcasm tag?
