anyone received the September National Geographic?
"Global Warning - Bulletins from a warmer world"
Such is typical of their political leaning & timing.
Here's a excerpt:
Human activity almost certainly drove most of the past century's warming, a landmark report from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change declared in 2001. Global temperatures are shooting up faster than any time in the past thousand years. And climate models show that natural forces such as volcanic eruptions and the slow flickers of the sun can't explain all that warming.
(Emphasis mine)
Then as expected the anti-western, anti-American fossil fuels speech:
"It wont be easy for a world addicted to fossil fuels to limit emissions. Three years ago the United States spurned the Kyoto Protocol, citing costs."
This is a quote from the article's introduction by Tim Appenzeller Senior Editor, Science and Dennis R. Dimick, Senior Editor, Environment and Technology
Sadly, these leftist folks miss the boat on the true cause for global warming which is the sun. Technology is the only thing that can save us from serious temperature changes and solar-based fluxes which ARE coming. Cutting down fossil fuels won't make a dent in the sort of warming we are experiencing. These folks will lead the world astray and the real solutions will not be sought out as they try to create a world unfavorable to American and western technological innovation.
