Here's a great WIRED editorial on the chilling truth spilling from the mouth of U.S. Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice: the Bush strategy is to take the same bumbling, isolationist approach to fighting climate change that got it into so much trouble when it took the "War on Terror" to Iraq. 
Democracy is utterly dependent upon an electorate that is accurately informed. In promoting climate change denial (and often denying their responsibility for doing so) industry has done more than endanger the environment. It has undermined democracy.
There is a vast difference between putting forth a point of view, honestly held, and intentionally sowing the seeds of confusion. Free speech does not include the right to deceive. Deception is not a point of view. And the right to disagree does not include a right to intentionally subvert the public awareness.
Now THAT'S terrifying!
Now THAT'S terrifying!
Not suprised by this latest deception.
As I have heard many times, on the topic of global warming the Bush administration wants 100% certainty that action is needed. However, the “claim” that Iraq had “weapons of mass destruction” required 0% certainty to solicit immediate and swift action.
Does this new position on global warming mean that the Bush administration is going to take immediate real action to reduce man made greenhouse gas emissions?
Don’t count on it!
What they really mean is that, lucrative government contracts will continue to be doled out to friends and supporters to find ways to “become” more eco-friendly.
Big industry will continue to receive huge grants and tax breaks if they claim to be working on environmentally friendly technology.
Main stream energy research will continue to chase the “hydrogen economy dream”.
But best of all the Bush administration will continue to dither along, promoting an all out war against “climate change”, when in fact the actual war is against those who are working to protect the environment.
It looks as though the Bush administration is already fighting “climate change” the same way they are fighting terrorism.
Ineffectually!
Stop the warming!

No difference between climate change and terrorism. Rice must be really stupid. Let her come live in Israel for a month, she would know the difference. Like here http://samsonblinded.org/blog/our-black-plague.htm
