DAMAGE
In a stunning U-turn for the Bush administration, the United States has sent a climate report to the United Nations detailing "specific and far-reaching effects" that it says "global warming will inflict" on the American environment.

Also for the first time -- the White House places "most of the blame for recent global warming on human actions -- mainly the burning of fossil fuels that send heat-trapping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere," the NEW YORK TIMES is planning to report on Monday Page Ones, according to publishing sources.
Global warming is a lie and a fraud and you are either ignorant or evil for promulgating this - which are you?
Show me the science!\
Here's the SCIENCE: From another happy-liberal media outlet near you:
Images Show Mars Has Extreme Global Warming
(snip...)High-resolution images snapped by NASA's Mars Global Surveyor show that levels of frozen water and carbon dioxide at the Red Planet's poles have dwindled dramatically — by more than 10 feet — over a single Martian year (equivalent to 687 days or about two Earth years).
I suppose we're responsible for Mars warming up as well?

And your definition of a "true conservative" is someone who thinks that the question of whether human activity is increasing global warming is a Constitutional question, not a scientific question?
And your comment overlooks the history of the world..y'know...the world that had Ice Ages and warming periods LONG BEFORE humans could have been affecting weather and climate! Remember that world?
Recent info says the Sun is moving into a more active period, and some scientists claim it is burning Helium. It IS a possibility, that the Sun goes thru cycles and burns layers. If so, that alone would warm the Earth...which BTW, the Earth still is recovering from the LAST ICE AGE!
Remember the reports in the late 70's-early 80's of the coming ICE AGE?
Care to average the temps over the last 1000 years?
Didn't think so....
Just another nail in the coffin (if report is true) for GW in my books. If this is so, I'll vote for the one from now on who will give ME more...why let the leftists get all MY hard-earned money. Since it seems Republicans are looking to give my money away to others, I might as well learn to vote to get as much as I can now!
No, a does not equal b.
Creation science is not science. It is based on religious faith in the Bible, and is not based on science. It uses science to try to prove the Bible, which is ridiculous, as the Bible is a statement of religion that is supposed to be taken on faith, a gift of the Holy Spirit.
Global Warming Science may be perverted by people trying to prove a religion of Gaia, a liberal religious orientation, but it is also a matter that genuine science may prove, disprove, or place in a larger and more enlightened framework.
Genuine science is a matter of facts that are amenable to testing and replication of results and that can be used to support or disprove an hypothesis that seeks to explain a greater framework of which these facts are a part.
The essense of real science is an open mind. And in that context, there are very few scientists on this thread.
If this story is true, it could be payment demanded by "our allies" in the war on terror. Bush signs Koyoto, or they help or ignore Al Quata. Koyoto- or we're on our own.
but we still need to address the problem.
What problem?
It hasn't been shown yet at all that global warming as a consequence of human activity, specifically burning of petroleum and coal fuels, even exists. Not only have their been ice ages in the last 100k years, there have been global warming interludes such that sea levels were higher, and mountain climates in many parts of the world warmer.
You must have checked your logic at the door.
I'm sure you would prefer President Al Gore?
What a charming chap you are. Broad brush ad hominum attacks behind the backs of folks. Surely we can do better than that. Surely it is not too difficult to focus on issues rather than personalities isn't it?
Bush signs Koyoto, or they help or ignore Al Quata. Koyoto- or we're on our own.
In other words, Europe is blackmailing us. A possibility?
