Bureaucratic Capitulation but....

In the New York Times today, Andrew Revkin reports that NOAA has at last admitted that 2006 was the warmest year ever and it was caused by greenhouse gases.

This is hardly news to anyone who has paid attention in the past few years leading up to this winter. Symbolically, it represents the gates falling at last.
The question now, is, is this government, of this country, which dominates the world in carbon emissions, do anything about it?

Recently, there has been a lot of talk about how bad it will be when China comes on line. Well, it may get worse. But right now, we are the worst offendors and China is actively exploring alternate energy sources. It isn't that the ideas and potential aren't there here. It is a question fo where we have thrown our support until now: NOT to alternatives but only to the same old same old, wasting time & resources, while the situation passed a crisis point.

The $64 000. question is whether we will see this bureaucratic admission followed by realistic choices.
