prediction : political : WILL BUSH ACKNOWLEDGE SCIENCE RE: GLOBAL WARMING? [+] serious ballot by Cathexis created Mon Feb 21, 05 Scientists have found unequivocal links between man-made greenhouse gases and a dramatic heating of the Earth's oceans. The researchers (many funded by the US government) have seen what they describe as a "stunning" correlation between a rise in ocean temperature over the past 40 years and pollution of the atmosphere. The study destroys a central argument of global warming skeptics within the Bush administration -- that climate change could be a natural phenomenon. The findings are crucial because much of the evidence of a warmer world has, until now, been from air temperatures. However, it is the oceans that are the driving force behind the Earth's climate. One lead researcher said: "Over the past 40 years there has been considerable warming of the planetary system and approximately 90 per cent of that warming has gone directly into the oceans." "We had several computer simulations, for instance one for natural variability" "We looked at the possibility that solar changes or volcanic effects could have caused the warming -- not a chance. What just absolutely nailed it was greenhouse warming." It should convince George Bush to drop his objections to the Kyoto treaty on climate change, the scientists say. Do you believe it will convince George Bush to drop his objections? Yes: Bush will acknowledge Global Warming due to man's actions and join the fight to halt this. No: Bush will exercise denial and spin to ignore these findings. Uncertain No, Bush is too stupid. Ballot #68283 : SEE RESULTS Comment: show your vote with comment?
