"We cannot rule out that some significant part [of the temperature change] is also a reflection of natural variability." "Because there is considerable uncertainty in current understanding of how the climate system varies naturally and reacts to emissions of greenhouse gases . . . current estimates of the magnitude of future warmings should be regarded as tentative and subject to future adjustments (either upward or downward)." To reduce the "wide range of uncertainty" about global warming science must produce "major advances in understanding and modeling" climate change in six specific areas, including determining what percentage of fossil fuel emissions actually produces radiative warming, the actual impacts of climate change and the impact of natural variability (i.e. the fact that we are still warming from the last Ice Age). From Chapter One, Introduction and Overview.

Sure sounds like what Dubbya said on the campaign trail to me.

Its called a flip flop. Look, if the President wants to govern as a Democrat, he and Karl Rove shouldn't be surprised if the voters take him at his word and give him exactly what they think he wants... a Democratic Congress. From where they sit, it doesn't look like he's governing as a conservative. I mean why have a Republican Congress when the President is pandering to the likes of Ted Kennedy on education and that prescription drugs benefit and the enviro nazis on global warming? The public is a lot smarter than this Administration gives them credit for.

Sure sounds like what Dubbya said on the campaign trail to me. That's probably because you posted a passage which didn't his new position about global warming.
