DAMAGE

In a stunning U-turn for the Bush administration, the United States has sent a climate report to the United Nations detailing "specific and far-reaching effects" that it says "global warming will inflict" on the American environment.

Also for the first time -- the White House places "most of the blame for recent global warming on human actions -- mainly the burning of fossil fuels that send heat-trapping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere," the NEW YORK TIMES is planning to report on Monday Page Ones, according to publishing sources.

[Lazamataz]

More of that 'compassionate conservatism', I guess. One small step for mankind.....one more lurch to the left by the Bush Administration.

[Lazamataz]

Kyoto Treaty, here we come.

I'm getting awfully sick of swallowing all this liberalism and calling it 'conservatism'.

[Pining_4_TX]

OK, this is the final straw! Bush is either the biggest fraud in history, or he's been replaced by a duplicate controlled by the Dems. He won't get my vote again.

[Poohbah]

Notice that it's being printed by the Gray Old Whore, the New Yawk Times. I'm not sure I believe the report.

[FreePaul]

mainly the burning of fossil fuels...

At least they didn't blame it on burning crosses. I'll wait until "Drydge" reports on it.

Good point. The source alone is enough to cause me to pause.

Drydge

Sorry about the typo.

[Poohbah]

Yup, nothing-to-see-here, pay-no-attention-to-Mister-Bernard-Goldberg...

[Oschisms]

But if it's true, it's the tipping point for me.

[Mulder]

It will be fun to watch the Bush-bots spin this one....

[Walkin Man]

This stinks. So how long until we sign the Kyoto treaty and decimate our economy?

[dixie sass]

Lazzzzzzzzzzzz, the Dryge Report? Have you been reading the Onion again?

[Scott from the Left Coast]

This business of taking Democrats issues away from them by agreeing with them and adopting their policies does get a little tiring.

Somehow, I also think that it's liable to come back a bite us really hard in the future.

Even if Bush gets the Senate back, how's he going to flip-flop back to the right now and retain any credibility. If being popular means going to the left, then how's he ever going to move back to the right? And if he does go back to the right at some point, won't he simply have given RATS the rope to hang him with? -- He's stated that they're right on just about everything that is an issue these days.

[Lazamataz]

But if it's true, it's the tipping point for me.

How many times will Bush betray conservatives before we finally get it?

Assuming that this is true, of course.

[Poohbah]

Is this actually a goobermint report, or is it from a quasi-goobermint agency like tha National Academy of Sciences?

[OldFriend]

You would think we have learned by now not to react hysterically to anything promulgated by the left wing conspirators in the media.

[meyer]

If I'd wanted Gore for President, I'd have voted for him....

Show me the science!\

Lazzzzzzzzzzzz, the Dryge Report? Have you been reading the Onion again?

Sorry about the typo, but it is on the Drudge Report website.

you and me both, laz. but look out! here come the bush defenders to get you! ;)

MORE from Drudge -

The United States will be substantially changed in the next few decades, claims the Bush report. The United States will "very likely" be seeing the "disruption of snow-fed water supplies, more stifling heat waves and the permanent disappearance of Rocky Mountain meadows and coastal marshes."

MORE

"The new report's predictions present a sharp contrast to the administration's previous statements on climate change, in which President Bush always spoke in generalities and stressed the need for much more research to resolve scientific questions."

The move puts a substantial distance between the administration and the energy industry and automakers.

Impacting Hard...
