The president has said, citing the National Academy of Sciences, that the increase is due in large part to human activity. The president has also continued, citing both now this report the EPA has sent to the United Nations, previous evidence from the National Academy of Sciences, that there is uncertainty. And the recent report notes that there is considerable uncertainty. That's the state of science, and the president agrees with it.

Rush completely ignored the bold part of the statement. The President has been pretty consistent on this, IMO. He isn't changing any policy and he won't sign Kyoto, so really, why does all this matter?

All this only matter to Rush who sees himself losing his base of listeners and is now pandering to the libs.......he's just looking for friends poor thing.

This is nothing except Rush STILL trying to cover his butt from his statements at the beginning of the week.

For the same reason most of us are conserned about Kyoto, that this cracked theory will be used as an excuse to impose draconian measures on people and their property here at home. Bush also completely ignores the fact that there is zero evidence to connect golbal warming to human activity and mighty historical evidence that fluctuations in the past (before any "human activity") has both cooled and warmed the Earth. And not to mention recognization that the intensity of any "warming" is indeed miniscule over many decades topping out at a miniscule change.

So what's his excuse? "Bad advice"?

I agree, Liz--the important thing is that Bush will NOT sign the Kyoto treaty, and that's what really matters.
