Yes, The Globe Is Warming Even If Bush Denies It - USA Today

[hatrack]

As the world's sole superpower, the United States has tremendous influence. Beyond military might, it can shape issues from trade to terrorism to the environment. That's why future generations, say 100 years from now, might ask: So why didn't it get serious about global warming when it had the chance? Good question.

The Bush administration's mantra on climate change is this: The science is not yet in to prove a link between man's gas-and-coal guzzling habits and rising global temperatures that are causing glaciers to shrink, polar ice caps to melt and seas to rise.

Yet, as USA TODAY's Dan Vergano reported Monday, not only is the science in, it is also overwhelming. Last week, the National Academy of Sciences and 10 other leading world bodies said there is "significant global warming" that requires urgent action. Another report last week further undercut claims of bad science: The New York Times disclosed that former oil industry lobbyist Philip Cooney, chief of staff of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, altered global warming reports to downplay links between emissions and climate change.

Cooney resigned, for what the White House insisted were unrelated reasons. President Bush repeated that the science is unclear.

1. Bush And His Administration Deny Everything.....

that's why everything is going down the tubes. Everything to Bush is 'unclear' because he is a stupid idiot bought and paid for by the RW and corporate America.
