Did you miss this gem from The Register UK?

[Dogmudgeon]

The Register is supposed to be a straight, if not necessarily straitlaced, journal of the high-tech world in the British Isles. But it seems that one of the scribes took a few editorial liberties with the G-8 news of a few months ago and titled the result Bush admits to being hotter and gassier, blames humans.

"Listen, I recognize the surface of the Earth is warmer, and that an increase in greenhouse gases caused by humans is contributing to the problem," Bush told reporters in Denmark.

That statement marks a rare alignment between Bush's state of mind and that of the scientific community. It's also the typical, minor concession Bush makes to let the global warming freaks feel like they're accomplishing something. The president maintains a stance that says the US economy will crumble if its adherers to Kyoto accord-like policies.

Meanwhile, the Yourtushimpressesmyhandanator Arnold Schwarzenegger (emphasis --p!), governor of California, went on a global warming crusade ahead of the G-8 meet and greet.

"Ze duh bate is o fer," he (or a staffer) wrote in an opinion piece. "We know the science. We see the threat posed by changes in our climate. And we know the time for action is now."

Yourtushimpressesmyhandanator -- I have to say that I am likewise impressed with those cheeky Brits.

Well, maybe not all of them. But lots of them. Such as the ones that The Register employs.
