US scientists reject Bush scepticism over global warming

An American government report on climate change has undermined a key claim of Bush administration hard-liners and sceptics who have long disputed a link between carbon emissions and global warming.

The study by the federal Climate Change Science Programme concluded that the atmosphere was growing warmer and that there was "clear evidence of human influences".

And the White House's reaction to their own report:

However, officials cautioned that it was only the first of 21 assessments by the Climate Change Science Programme, which was set up in 2002 to tackle "unresolved questions".

IOW, do nothing.

But wait, there's more!

The White House was acutely embarrassed last year when it emerged that one of its aides on environmental issues had been rewriting official documents to play down links between climate change and man-made emissions.

America and Australia are the only two developed countries to have rejected the Kyoto protocol, which demands curbs on emissions.

There are no more 'unresolved questions', there are just a few details to wrap up, but we don't have the time. Global warming is a fact. We are causing it. It may already be too late to counter act it.
