Take the EPA report, please. All concede there has been and will not be any change in Bush policy on global warming, announced over a year ago. All concede the report states the science is so uncertain we should not ratify Kyoto. We argue over whether the report says growth in greenhouse gas emissions is "mostly due to human activies" or whether surface warming is mostly due to human activities, not exactly the crucial question of our time. And we argue whether Bush "flip-flopped" even though his view of the policy and science has not changed.
In contrast, had Gore won, he would be pushing for ratification of Kyoto today in a Senate controlled by Democrats and containing enough RINO's to make it a close call.
Lets look at the forest.
