Say what you want about the Obama administration's relative ignoring of climate issues: Many of his top scientists are paying rapt attention, and they think we're about to get our butts kicked—although dumping the news at 4pm on a Friday gives some indication of where it sits in federal priorities.
only those who refuse scientific evidence IMO because it would lead to deregulation you know the good for them bad for "we the people", would make an irrational statement like that.
they report to him, he has voiced a need to get a grip the only ones not going along are on the right wing. so what is said about this admin in relation to global warming, should be said about the republican inquisition they are afraid of science a few years ago they would burn you at the stake for suggesting global warming.
The National Climate Assessment is produced by the US Global Change Research Program, which is tasked with collating climate research from a wide variety of federal agencies and, every few years, distilling it into one major report. The latest, a first draft, is the third such report (the last was in 2009), product of a 1990 law that requires the White House to produce semi-regular updates on climate science to Congress. Today's report echoes the themes of earlier editions, and paints a picture that is all the more grim for being an unsurprising confirmation of the dangers we've come to know all too well. Here's the top six things for you to worry about this weekend, according to the report:
- Climate change is definitely caused by human activities. Always nice to hear government officials acknowledge this essential fact. And the report concedes that our only hope of curbing warming is to kick our addiction to greenhouse-gas spewing fossil fuels.
that would be oil, coal and any synthetic they an over charge us for. long as the can make a buck ignoring it they will continue to rebuff no matter how many times it's rebuked, insanity, or greed?
