USA Today (paper edition) - Scientists: There may be no return from Climate Change
Earth is spinning toward many points of no return from the damage of global warming, after which disease, desolation and famine are inevitable, say scientists involved in an international report due Friday on the effects of climate change.

This is a FANTASTIC article; in US f#cking Today for cripes sake!

C'mon Bush, lead or get out of the way. On second thought, just get out of the way!!

(PS- Peolosi Syria trip and Iran's subsequent release of the Brits, just proved that Bush** is completely irrelevant)

Is this the article?
http://www.usatoday.com/weather/climate/globalwarming/2007-04-03-tipping-points_N.htm

Is Earth near its 'tipping points' from global warming?

Earth is spinning toward many points of no return from the damage of global warming, after which disease, desolation and famine are inevitable, say scientists involved in an international report due Friday on the effects of climate change.

Opinions vary about how long it will take to reach those "tipping points" and whether attempts to cut planet-warming gases churned out by power plants, vehicles and other human industry can slow, halt or reverse the harmful effects in coming decades. Some suggest it might be cheaper for society to adapt to the changing climate than to roll back the pace of warming.

1. I vote for Bush dragging his fat, slow ass out of the way.
He and his cronies have contributed much to the dire state our planet is in today. He will move slowly if he moves at all, so it would be best for him to just get the hell out of the way.

Besides, I think Congress has plans for him in the months ahead, Bush has a lot of explaining to do.

2. So will the conservative meme leap from "no such thing" to "it's already too late"?
