No Doubts Global Warming Is Real, US Experts Say: "New evidence found by teams of climate researchers leaves no doubt that industrial emissions of greenhouse gases are responsible for increasing global temperatures -- an ominous trend that has speeded up in the past 50 years and threatens to continue for centuries, according to a report by two of the nation's leading atmospheric scientists.
... The two disagreed with assertions by some scientists that swings in worldwide temperatures over the years are normal and natural. "Modern climate change is dominated by human influences, which are now large enough to exceed the bounds of natural variability," they said."

Now this is a real and verifiable threat to Homeland Security. And who are those who are responsible?

Polluters. And why are they being allowed to pollute even more? Ask Bush. It is incomprehensible to me.

If we are concerned about protecting Americans from terror, we should be addressing Global Warming as urgently as we are attacking Iraq. Yes, that much.

We need environmental security. Otherwise the terror of tides over-running towns (remember the scene in the outer banks of N. Carolina this year?), of twisters destroying homes and entire streets, of hurricanes wreacking havoc on entire regions--all these will be visited on Americans. And all because of our reluctance to reduce pollution.

This administration is systematically weakening controls on pollution, on greenhouse gases, as well as such toxins such as mercury and arsenic. They are on a mission. They are determined, blind to the harmful consequences and will not stop. We have to remove them from power in 04.
