Bush and gang can't see Global Warming in front of their noses ...

look ... see!

Geez!

I might excuse Mickey Mouse, but goodness gracious ... Surely, Ann and Osama read the papers and even O.J. reads the back sections by now. And GWB could have Condi read the headlines to him, even if he's not "into reading newspapers" (a direct quote).

The journal, Nature, said today that "the Bush Administration has blocked release of a report that suggests global warming is contributing to the frequency and strength of hurricanes."

What evidence is needed? The lead researcher at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (in New York) that the global warming in only the last three decades has gotten the earth's temperature reaching the highest temperature in the current interglacial period. We're now about 12,000 years into the "current interglacial period."

In fact, we are now within 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit (one degree Centigrade) of the maximum temperature reached by the earth in a million years!

In addition, the National Academy of Sciences estimated back in 2003 that some species of animals and plants have slowly (4 miles per decade -- not that slow!) been moving towards the North Pole over the past five decades as a result of the global warming. It's worse in the northern latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere -- largely due to excessive use of fossil fuels in the Northern Hemisphere.

All of the blame shouldn't go to the intellectual midget in the White House; his advisors surely could use waterboarding or sleep deprivation (with the new Congressional bills nearly completed) to get him to listen to them and not his brother, Jeb, who called the White House to say that this year proves that we are having fewer hurricanes ... and to ignore the global data collected and analyzed over the past half century.
