Guess the source on this one, boyz. Hint: it ain't the nation.
The possibility of Senate action [on climate change] is another blow to President George W. Bush, who is becoming increasingly isolated on his own ice floe. On June 14, a nervous Administration fired a shot across the Senate's bow, warning in a statement that it "will oppose any climate change amendments that are inconsistent with the President's climate change strategy" -- in other words, anything with mandatory limits on greenhouse gases. Bush can count on the House GOP to block any significant climate change package for now. But the White House has already been embarrassed by recent revelations that a political appointee watered down global warming reports by government scientists. (The appointee, Philip A. Cooney, chief of staff at the Council on Environmental Quality, has resigned and is taking a job with Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM )). And Bush justifiably faces heat not only from scientists and foreign allies but also from business and members of his own party.

What's your solution then Tom, besides blaming the Bush Administration? And I don't want to hear anything about Kyoto either. The Kyoto Protocol was worthless and you know it.
Yes, global climate change is occurring and yes, it's a problem, however, bankrupting not only the U.S. economy, but the world economy as well with no guarantee that it can be reversed is not a solution.
Anyway, I'm still not convinced that the climate change we're witnessing wouldn't be occurring if we all still living in caves.
Amen, Six. Liberals live in a fantasy wherein they can have, say, affordable and plentiful housing in the New Orleans area **AND** natural flood protection from unoccupied wetlands. In their fantasy, they can have a safe and secure life without other people making money by providing refined petrochemical at everybody's instant access.
