The WaPo Article reprinted in the Arizona Republic is just classic:

Global warming is destroying species, raising sea levels and threatening millions of poor people, the United Nations’ top scientific panel will say in a report today that U.N. officials hope will help mobilize the world to take tougher actions on climate change.

The report argues that only firm action, including putting a price on carbon-dioxide emissions, will avoid more catastrophic events…

“Those in the weakest economic or political position are frequently the most susceptible to climate change,” the panel wrote.

“In all regions,” it added, those most at risk are “the poor, young children, the elderly and the ill.”...

Despite the sweep of science and scientists utilized by the IPCC, its reports have been rejected by some who argue that the world has gone through natural shifts in temperature before.

Critics also say society and industry should not be put to the difficult task of curbing emissions.

President Bush, until recently, questioned the validity of global warming.

Are you shitting me?  Questions the validity of Global Warming?

I for one question the validity of the data that is gathered because so many weather stations in the US are now heat islands and in the middle of parking lots.  I question whether NASA has correctly written their programs to analyze the data.  I question the amount of global warming attributable to CO2 versus the amount do to solar fluctuations and other natural causes.

But most of all I question the dire outcomes of destruction of species and sea level rising and poor people dying.  But that probably means that I don’t “care about the poor and the sick”. 

Bush also denies the existence of Santa Clause, but does believe in Jesus. 

Scientific Consensus of the UN:

Global Warming--real.  Jesus--not so much.  Santa Clause--the debate is out.
