Late and Lame on Warming

President Bush’s brief discussion of climate change in his final State of the Union address seemed especially disconnected from reality.

Global warming and climate change are merely figments of the febrile imagination of starry-eyed climatologists and should therefore not get more than short shrift in such an important document as The State of the Union address.

This could very well be the real attitude of President Bush and his Republican supporters to a problem which is seriously engaging the attention and efforts of those nations which signed on to the Kyoto Treaty and who recently, in Bali, affirmed their intention to move on to the next stage.

As expected, the U.S. delegates to the Bali Summit had to be dragged, humiliated and denounced--unexpectedly by a Samoan delegate!--before they agreed to go along with the general consensus at Bali.
