Global Climate Change?

[nacmacfeegle 0]

"In a dramatic reversal of its previous position, the White House this week conceded that emissions of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases were the only likely explanation for global warming.
Citing the "best possible scientific information," an administration official, James Mahoney, delivered a report to Congress that essentially reversed the previous White House position set out by George Bush, who had refused to link carbon dioxide emissions to climate change. "

I wonder what else he will admit he was wrong about?

Good for him! The ability to admit you're wrong is the first step in being able to fix your mistakes.

Aye, yer probably right Bill, I'm just pretty flabbergasted by the turnaround.

So...
Is Kyoto back on the agenda yet?

I suspet it will be until about mid-November, at which time the next flop will take place. Let's hope not.

Yes sir, and just before the election.

Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Damn flip-floppers.

Can't they just say what they mean and mean what they say? Make a decision and stand by it?

There should be a law that held accountable all the politicians for what they promise before elections and for what they stand for.

There is, it's called the next election.

well, sort of. In the U.S no one can be president for more than 8 years, right?, so if Bush wins the elections now, he can flip flop all he wants because after all someone else will be running for president. I was thinking more of punishing either the person or the political party, not the president as a figure.
It is just a silly idea, after all if politicians don´t lie they would be something else, like doctors or air traffic controllers.
