WASHINGTON (AP) — The Democratic chairman of a House panel examining the government’s response to climate change said Tuesday there is evidence that senior Bush administration officials sought repeatedly “to mislead the public by injecting doubt into the science of global warming.”
Hardly a shocker, but I rank this as even more grotesque of a deception than the fabricated evidence that misled us into war in Iraq. Failure to act on global warming will have consequences more disastrous on our country and our planet than what we’ve done in Iraq. Twenty years from now, Bush’s failure to act will be looked upon with utter revulsion as the world struggles to deal with catastrophes that could have been avoided had the U.S. taken the lead.
