Hi Cyber, here's the report in case anyone cares to actually read it, most will simply take the word of a liberal activists posing as a reporter from the N.Y. Times.

After reading the report, I see the whole thing as a blown out of proportion media event designed to promote the left's agenda. Sure, Bush's team has used a lot of the environmental language familiar to the Global Warming crowd. But, in the final analysis, they don't take any drastic measures, nor support the Kyoto Protocols.
Further, the report has been on the EPA web site for a week, where anybody could have read it. Liberals have simply finally gotten around to reading it, and figuring out a way to pick out passages from it in a way which supports their agenda. Attacking George W. Bush in the process is an added bonus.
Just about any conservative writer could have spinned the report into an attack on the Kyoto treaty. However, since the mainstream press (led by the N.Y. Times) is liberal, they've accepted this one writers version as the truth.
Now from the report....
From the summary : "Greeen house gasses are accumulating in Earth's atmosphere as a result of human activity, causing global mean surface temperature and subsurface ocean temperature to rise. While the changes over the last several decades are likely due mostly to human activities, we cannot rule out that a significant part is also a reflection of natural variability"
What's going on is not that Bush has embraced Al Gore's rhetoric, what's going on is the liberal "Big Media Industrial Complex" are having a field day pulling specific quotes from the report in order to promote their agenda. |
