More study, more bucks down a rathole.

Are there any sheep we can tax for the money?

I don't know anything about meteorology, but does it really take ten years to study it? Don't we have sophisticated computers these days to simulate most of the scenarios.

With Bush's recent penchant for sucking up to liberals on domestic policy, I am not very happy about this new study.

I fear his administration will get behind some Chicken-Little environmental whacko initiatives to "take the environmental issue away from the Democrats."

More triangulation.

Rights, farms, environment ping.

Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this list.

And now he's pandering to the Nader crowd? It never ends.

[what's up]

I would rather have a Bush administration study than a UN study, which has been the case up to this point.

Plus, a 10 year study is good. Global warming (if true which I doubt it is) would require huge policy changes. It requires a long, intensive study.

I just hope that Dr. S. Fred Singer heads this up. And if he is not the head, I hope he is an important part of it.

to determine whether greenhouse gases and other human-generated pollutants have contributed to an unnatural warming of Earth's atmosphere

Who cares if human or not? That's not important, shouldn't even be a consideration. What's important is what temperature will give optimum plant growth, rain fall, and save human lives, and what technologies can we use to get there?

Ha, ha, ha! Study it to death for 10 years (thereby removing it as a political issue). Wonder if Bush will "study" any other irritating dem policy issues.

[Wright is right!]

This effectively stalls the argument for 10 years until a time when it will either be totally discredited or will have lost its politically-chic status. Not a bad thing at all.

A rectal thermometer placed in France can provide valuable preliminary data. The Solar System is just passing through a warm part of the Aether. No problem.

On global warming, Dennis Miller said:

“There's a lot of differing data, but as far as I can gather, over the last hundred years the temperature on this planet has gone up 1.8 degrees. Am I the only one who finds that amazingly stable? I could go back to my hotel room tonight and futz with the thermostat for three to four hours. I could not detect that difference.”
