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.

Do the bed wetting leftists still think that he is owned by the Oil Companies?

I hope this gives a big push to Hydrogen powered cars. He has already dumped the support for electrics in favor of Hydrogen powered cars.

How so? I think its dumb to not think forward. You have to. It's just like a business. Don't think forward, you fail. We as a human race will fail if we neglect to take our actions into account. Maybe we cause global warming, maybe we don't. Either way, its worth it to reduce our impact on the environment. If that makes someone a "tree hugger", then you're just plain ignorant.

Big news that they finally acknowledged global warming. NOT!

This should have been admitted long ago.

This does not clear in any way the anti-environment campaign that has been (or is being) waged on our land. You can find the bush record in my sig.

"Global warming" describes a result or effect, it neither implies nor states anything about a "cause". Nobody disputes the 'globe' is 'warming', not even the Bush administration disputed it. The dispute is over the causes of the warming trend and the degree (and rate) to which it is warming.

Please. Global warming and cooling are caused by cyclic changes in the orbit and tilt of the planet Earth as well as the changes in temperature radiated from the Sun. Hydrocarbon emissions emmited from internal combustion engines do not have any effect on the the temperature or climate of planet Earth.

I have aske this question many times before: What caused glaciers to creep into the Great Plains of what is now called the United States of America and what caused those glaciers to recede?

I await your answers.

Global warming scam is a growth industry for the enviro fraud movement. The public seems to be taking the bait and now they're going to reel em in. What they could'nt do with global cooling they're going to try with globwarm scam. Taxpayer looses again.

my some of you people are really really dumb, i'm sorry but please, i'd like my childrens children to live on the planet without having to have some kind of oxygen mask things, etc. I wish we could boot you dumb people who think everything we do has little to no impact on earth to mars and you all live there and do whatever the hell you want.

Evidently the tree hugging environmentalists don't have an answer to my question. I am perplexed. Why do you whine about things that you know nothing about? In the 1970's you would have bemoaned global cooling, since that was all the rage at that time.

When was the last global warming period, I thought the earth was either in normal or in ICE AGE, not warming...

if everybody had a hybrid electric car (those get 100% better mpg) then we could be completely off dependency on foreign oil. the other way around that is to drill alaska

Wow it's about time. Now let's see if he's planning on actually doing something about it.
