Bush administration pressured scientists to lie about global warming.

Man, I almost wish mr_dark were still here. I would be most entertained by a ten page essay beginning with "First of all..." and then followed by forty-five pieces of evidence revealing this news article to be completely untrue... nearly all of them coming from Rush Limbaugh or the like.

It's one of the many reasons I've disowned him. I support the war on facist islam, but even there I think we need to quit tip-toeing around and start blowing more things up. It's pretty much global warming and the border issues that have made me realize that he is not a true Conservative. But he's certainly better than Lurch (Kerry) or Algore.

Climate change is cyclical, plain and simple. The Medieval Warm Period (lasting about 4 centuries-this is when Greenland was green) is a prime example of it. So is the "Little Ice Age". For instance, in the winter of 1780, people could walk from Manhattan to Staten Island via the frozen NY harbor. No one would ever imagine that today, but it may happen again.

The earth warms, the earth cools, the tides come in & they go out, the sun comes up and the sun comes down, various species live and die. This is the way of the universe from the dawn of creation. I've heard everything from cow farts http://www.show.me.uk/site/news/STO873.html to SUV's as the culprits to climate change and I don't buy any of it.

If Bush is changing lanes here (and unfortunately, it looks like he may), well...at least there's only about 2 years left, maybe there's still hope that America will not become a socialist nation.

The problem is that while climate change is cyclical, waste chemicals released into the atmosphere accelerate and enhance the process. The best description of it I've heard from a scientist is that it's like adding octane to gasoline. It may not create new climate changes, but it definately can make the climate changes more of what they already are and that could have very serious consequences.
