“Clear evidence of human influences on the climate system”
This line from a recent report commissioned by the White House. Somehow, this does not qualify as “global warming.”
According to a story in the New York Times and at the BBC, the Bush administration dismisses the report as merely being one of twenty-one climate change assessments. Despite the report’s finding that “the only factor that could explain the measured warming of Earth’s average temperature over the last 50 years” was the increase in carbon dioxide gas emmissions from industrial activity.
This “logic” is right in line with a speech I heard the president give yesterday, where he stated that “high gas prices should serve as a wake-up call to Americans. It should show them that we have an unsound energy security policy.” I was with him right up until “wake-up call”…
