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 like five and a half years better.
My reply was a one word colloquialism for bovine excrement.
BTW, the lead article on icecap.us is about an eco-tourism _icebreaker_ that’s stuck in the ice trying to navigate the Northwest Passage. TFF!
Science is hereby marginalized by this report. Our future is now officially in the hands of the Grimmists of Environmentalism.
There will be no reprieve from insanity.
I wonder how they factored out the Sun?

SHHHH!! The sun is never to be used as a factor when trying to implement socialism through the rube of “global warming” or climate change, the only science usable is the science that meets the objctive, thus rendering it non-scientific.
Alas, logic, common sense, critical thinking and the scientific method are all being thrown out the window in this “modern” age.
42% of democrats believe we either knew and let 9/11 happen or that the government did it themselves. People are easily bamboozled, and people are still amazed that Hitler became so powerful.
How many people believe in ghosts, UFO’s, and other wild conspiracy theories, we are in the anti-science age. We’re no better than the Mayans rolling heads down pyramids.
I do NOT rue the days I voted for GWB twice.
I morn for the fact I was faced with the choice of voting for him, or receiving an even worse president.
I am sick and tired of the only choices being between ‘bad’ and ‘worse’.
I would settle for an election pitting ‘good’ against ‘mediocre’, but really want to be able to choose between ‘good’ and ‘better’.
Regretfully, I doubt America will ever see that rare type of election again.
Ahh...the science of speculation.
Just what you would base a decision on to ruin the greatest Country in history.
Thanks Mr. Bush
Excellent idea.
Read the Project 1980’s report from The NYC Council on Foriegn Relations.
‘zackly our situation today, eh ?
Created to increase government control over our way of life.
When you ponder President Bush’s actions with the above statement in mind, it makes sense.
It seems that Bush’s science advisers are incompetent. We now know more than we ever wanted to about his former press secretary. I have to conclude that the President has often shown poor personnel judgment. And it is safe to say that will be the verdict of history, if anyone bothers to write one.
Heh... back at ya:

you can pick “green”. Not sure if that makes the face green or just the eyes, hair, smile, etc.
He is not just Polar Bear Bush, which he earned just a week ago, but Polar Bear Bush with oak leaf clusters now.
