Damn, it's election season and the 1600 Crew is above playing politics with nothing. As I recall, they have opposed findings which sound a lot like this, but letting this go to press with a DIFFERENT spin lets Preznit Ecological Disaster sound sort of ... tree-huggerish.

In a striking shift in the way the Bush administration has portrayed the science of climate change, a new report to Congress focuses on federal research indicating that emissions of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases are the only likely explanation for global warming over the last three decades.

In delivering the report to Congress yesterday, an administration official, Dr. James R Mahoney, said it reflected "the best possible scientific information" on climate change. Previously, President Bush and other officials had emphasized uncertainties in understanding the causes and consequences of warming as a reason for rejecting binding restrictions on heat-trapping gases.
