Heads In The Sand
It's interesting that the kids over at the Roanoke Times would write this in this morning's editorial ("Scientists disagree on climate change"):

"The Bush administration has shown little fidelity to science, much less an open mind about the dangers of climate change."

Interesting because they then follow up with this:

"The scientific community is in broad agreement that increasing levels of human-generated greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are causing the planet to warm. They agree, too, that nations must act soon to prevent the worst results, if there is even time left."

Really.

Let's look at that "fidelity to science" and who's showing little of it:

Over 650 Scientists Challenge Global Warming "Consensus"

Read it and you'll learn that there is a host - a growing host - of scientists who scoff at global warming theory as it's being forced down our throats. And these are actual climate-and-meteorology-related scientists. Not biologists, chemists or computer technologists. And certainly not politicians who masquerade as learned scientists.

Broad agreement? Only if you have your head stuck somewhere where that climate can't penetrate.
