SHOW OF HANDS...

...Anyone surprised?

A panel of experts has strongly criticized the Bush administration's proposed research plan on the risks of global warming, saying that it "lacks most of the elements of a strategic plan" and that its goals cannot be achieved without far more money than the White House has sought for climate research.

The 17 experts, in a report issued yesterday, said that without substantial changes, the administration's plan would be unlikely to accomplish the aim laid out by President Bush in several speeches: to help decision makers and the public determine how serious the problem is so that they can make clear choices about how to deal with it.

Typical, completely typical of the administration. A couple sentences about hydrogen cars at the SOtU and we're all supposed to think he's a Lisa Simpsonist? He didn't fool TFM, and he hasn't fooled these experts either.

In my lifetime, global warming and pollution are more likely to kill me than Saddam Hussein is, by a wide margin. That goes for Smirk as well.
