This is an article I took from the observer, and I was just wondering what people feelings are.

A secret report, suppressed by US defence chiefs and obtained by The Observer, warns that major European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas as Britain is plunged into a 'Siberian' climate by 2020. Nuclear conflict, mega-droughts, famine and widespread rioting will erupt across the world. The document predicts that abrupt climate change could bring the planet to the edge of anarchy as countries develop a nuclear threat to defend and secure dwindling food, water and energy supplies. The threat to global stability vastly eclipses that of terrorism, say the few experts privy to its contents. 'Disruption and conflict will be endemic features of life,' concludes the Pentagon analysis. 'Once again, warfare would define human life.' The findings will prove humiliating to the Bush administration, which has repeatedly denied that climate change even exists.

I know that line is a direct quote from the article. But the fact is that Bush has conceeded the majority of the "Global Warming" and climate change arguments. The following is just one article of a plethora that I could have found from conservatives and libertarians alike who decry Bush's attitude on the issue.

It would have been easy, and far more accurate, to state that he believes that the result of the changes may be a good thing. The article took a cheap shot.

Yes yes ys - and don't forget about the aliens at area 51. They will be toasted as well. But not New York. It will be covered in ice and poorly animated CG wolves will roam the streets.

Last week the Bush administration came under heavy fire from a large body of respected scientists who claimed that it cherry-picked science to suit its policy agenda and suppressed studies that it did not like.
Gosh, that certainly sounds familiar, doesn't it.

What aliens at Area 51? Have you been watching Independence Day on AMC again instead of doing your homework?
