Default US government report admits frankly as never before climate state of emergency

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090617/...climate_report

http://www.globalchange.gov/publicat...nts/us-impacts

Quote:
The document, a climate status report required periodically by Congress, was a collaboration by about three dozen academic, government and institute scientists. It contains no new research, but it paints a fuller and darker picture of global warming in the United States than previous studies.
Bush was ultimately forced by a lawsuit to issue a draft report last year, and that document was the basis for this one. Obama science adviser John Holdren called the report nonpartisan, started by a Republican administration and finished by a Democratic one.

Read paragraph 1 of the executive summary. A little... blatant, for my liking.

Source number... 3 from memory, cites the IPCC. However, climate alarmists no longer use the data gathered by and for the IPCC, because those data sets show cooling over recent years, whilst the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has increased.

Now, you'll find that the alarmists are using oceanic temperatures to prove AGW.

So on that point alone, the report is proven to be inaccurate.

Of course, I'm ignoring that the origin of the report lies in an attempt to sway undecided policy-makers in the US parliament back to the pro-AGW lobby in order to pass strict new climate change legislation...

Warming is happening on a long-term scale, I won't debate that. i will debate tooth and nail that AGW is a fact, and I'll do everything and anything I can to stop myself being taxed over something we cannot unequivocally prove, much less control.

Baggygreen - you summed it up nicely. I have no further comment.

Akybird - NASA last month said that humans aren't the cause. Why the propaganda machine?

I agree with Baggy entirely. It is contrived taxable market perpetuated by the likes of Al Gore who stand to make billions.
