Hiding Global Warming
McCain: Bush Admin Breaks Laws to Hide Global Warming Data
"They're simply not complying with the law. It's incredible."
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) raised eyebrows yesterday with that comment regarding the Bush administration, made before a crowd of several hundred at a Washington, D.C. event.
At issue is a report on climate change that Congress requires every ten years. The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which is responsible for producing the document, last filed a report in 2000. A new report -- the first to be filed by the Bush administration -- was due in November 2004, but to date the agency has not done so.
"When you get to that degree of obfuscation, then you get a little depressed," McCain said, according to several attendees. McCain's comments were also reported by the trade daily Environment and Energy.
McCain has rapped the administration before over the long-overdue report.

Sometimes when talking to the skeptics, pictures are worth a thousand words:

joec - that was an amazing picture you posted on your blog. that really hits home.
Thanks, Joe. Yeah, this sort of pictorial contrast really drives home the point. It helps get across to those who scoff at the change.
One degree is just the beginning. Strap yourselves in, folks.
