George, are you listening?

And it's not just the liberals talking. Four senators - democrats and republicans - went to Canada's Yukon Territory and northern Alaska. They have a few observations.

Fresh from visits to Canada's Yukon Territory and Alaska's northernmost city, four U.S. senators said on Wednesday that signs of rising temperatures on Earth are obvious and they called on Congress to act.
"If you can go to the Native people and walk away with any doubt about what's going on, I just think you're not listening," said Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.

He's a uniter, not a divider, and this looks like a perfect opportunity to get both sides of the aisle (not to mention the entire scientific community and the rest of the world) to pay attention. Are you listening, George?

Bush thinks nuclear is pronounced nu-cu-lar. We shouldn't expect anything from him with regard to the climate, civil rights... The man has pushed the U.S. to the brink of bankruptcy and committed us to a Vietnam-like situation in the Middle East - just thought I'd remind everyone. :)
