Subject: RE: BS: Where's the Global Warming
If 95% of scientists agreed that something (you fill in the blank) was harmful to children, how long would it take for it to be banned or regulated by every civilized nation? Would we wait for the other 5% of scientists to agree before we conceded that something should be done? Would we decide that several more years of study are warranted before we act rashly? Why is the Bush administration treating this threat to our children so differently? Bush didn't cause it, but he's sure in a position to do something about it, and he has consistently (and conveniently) recommended further study, and said "let's wait for the other 5%".
