After a court order and four years late, Bush administration scientists issue an assessment.
President Bush's top science advisors issued a comprehensive report Thursday that for the first time endorses what most scientific experts have long asserted: that greenhouse gases from fossil fuel combustion "are very likely the single largest cause" of Earth's warming.
The 271-page report could undercut opposition to the more aggressive provisions of climate legislation, which is to be debated in the Senate next week.
The Bush administration had long resisted a congressional mandate, the 1990 Global Change Research Act, requiring the White House to report every four years on the science and impact of global warming and other environmental forces.
A U.S. District Court in August ordered Bush to comply with a 2004 deadline for an updated report, after the Tucson-based Center for Biological Diversity and other environmental groups filed suit.

I wonder how they factored out the Sun?
I rue the day I ever voted for this moron.
I’m beginning to agree.
Wow, maybe Scotty is right.
can’t we just suspend bush for the duration with pay and be done with this idiot...??...and to think i voted for him twice...only because my other choices were gore and kerry....
Why is anyone surprised by this?
Bush is a politician, he’s never been conservative.
This idiocy nedds a BARFCON 5 alert.
Global Warming is a MYTH. Created to increase government control over our way of life.
Nothing like catching the MSM in an outright, bald faced lie.

"Over 31,000 United States scientists have signed a petition urging the U.S. government “to reject the global warming agreement that was written in Kyoto, Japan in December, 1997, and any other similar proposals.”

That's funny. They always could before.
Can we just impeach Bush now before he does any more damage and put Cheney in place for the remainder of his term?
Come on, the science is settled!/S
So when Bush says he’s reviewed the data and concludes we’re causing GW, the libs believe him.
But when it comes to the data he reviewed to launch a strike on Iraq, he’s a liar.
Hypocrites.
Well, at least this about face will dovetail in nicely with what McCain wants to do too.
Who says theres no bipartisanship anymore? Repubs are joining in on all kinds of Dem issues!
Hey, he’s not much different than McClellan. He’s cashing out, Bush will get cap and trade speaking “honoriums”.
Funny, but the trend all over the world is increasing doubts about global warming and the Milken-esque “solutions”. Bush on the wrong side again.
Are you telling me that both Democrats and Republicans are working to increase government control over our way of life?
I Am Shocked!!
I can’t stands no more.
