CO2 levels hit peak at Hawaii observatory

Federal climatologists concerned about global trend. (Are those "Feds" Bush Administration "Feds". I think not!!)

"The reason for the faster buildup of the most important “greenhouse gas” will require further analysis, the U.S. government experts say." (Oh, oh. Some "experts" are lookin' to retire.)

"Carbon dioxide, mostly from burning of coal, gasoline and other fossil fuels, traps heat that otherwise would radiate into space. Global temperatures increased by about 1 degree Fahrenheit (0.6 degrees Celsius) during the 20th century, and international panels of scientists sponsored by world governments have concluded that most of the warming probably was due to greenhouse gases."

Someone's gonna get it. As with Lysenko and Mao in years past, science must follow the political Party line or not be funded. After all, why should taxpayers fund bad news? Just makes sense, doesn't it?
