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.

It will be fun to watch the Bush-bots spin this one....

Bush seems to be swinging massively to the left.

If the Bushbots swing with him, there will be a whole new crop of leftists in Murrica.

[dixie sass]

Okay, Laz. I'm not quite sure what to make of it.

[The Magical Mischief Tour]

Okay folks, two things here stink...

First it's the NYT... nuff said.

Second, it's Sunday night and Drudge is in his usual grandstanding headline mode again, trolling for listeners to his radio show.

And it never occured to you that maybe there is an increase in global warming caused by human activity?

We are on record as saying that Kyoto is as bad a cure as the cause, but we still need to address the problem, not pretend this is a matter of ideology and not a matter of science.

[Map Kernow]

More of that 'compassionate conservatism', I guess. One small step for mankind.....one more lurch to the left by the Bush Administration.

Someone---someone named "Karl"---must be telling 'em the GW Administration has to look more "environment-friendly." Expect more of these Clintonian "initiatives" as the election draws closer.

SH*T!!!

[GaltMeister]

Thats one small report from the Bush Administration, one giant leap for junk science.

If I'd wanted Gore for President, I'd have voted for him....

Looks like you may have voted for Gore. They called this version 'Bush'.

[Jason Kauppinen]

Ugggh. Say it isn't so. We're already having a hard enough time as it is in Canada trying to get the Liberal govermnent to stay out of Kyoto.

[Lancey Howard]

Notice that it's being printed by the Gray Old Whore

My first thought exactly.
As the Gray Old Whore has become an ever more brazen arm of the DNC, its stories have become sillier and sillier.
That toilet paper simply cannot be trusted.

[Nuke'm Glowing]

Sigh. I give up. I'm going to move out to the mountains, and open up a stagecoach company. Might as well get ahead of the competition. Does anyone know anything about fuel efficient, non-gaseous emitting horses that can pull an non-polluting non-wood manufactured stagecoach?

Excellent point!

[Founding Father]

The acorn (Dubya) didn't fall too far from the tree (H.W.) did it?

Looks like you may have voted for Gore. They called this version 'Bush'.

I've been Gored by a Bush!! I feel so.... violated...

[VMI70]

BTTT!

[rintense]

There is no spin. The adminstration can issue all the reports it wants. Until they say the Kyoto treaty will be signed, I'll refrain from over reacting.

[Poohbah]

There you go, using logic and common sense. You're supposed to screech "I will NEVER vote for A DIRTY STINKING RINO AGAIN!"

You might want to search for "Owning the Weather" on Google ------

The colonel told the senator: "The Air Force is not conducting any weather modification and has no plans to do so in the future." In fact, the Pentagon has long been interested in using weather as a weapon of war. Attempts to steer hurricanes by spraying heat-robbing chemicals in their paths date from the 1950s. The recipe for creating "cirrus shields" was outlined in a 1996 US Air Force study subtitled "Owning the Weather by 2025." The report explained how "weather force specialists" were dispersing chemicals behind high-flying tanker aircraft in a process called "aerial obscuration."
