So let's do nothing

Bush science adviser says limitations on global warming are meaningless. All this from a man who has no training or experience whatsoever in climate science. From the Washington Post:

The president's top science adviser said yesterday there is no solid scientific evidence that the widely cited goal of limiting future global temperature rises to two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels is necessary to avert dangerous climate change, an assertion that runs counter to that of many scientists as well as the Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

John H. Marburger III, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, said at a news conference that the target of preventing Earth from warming more than two degrees Celsius, or 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit, "is going to be a very difficult one to achieve and is not actually linked to regional events that affect people's lives."

So, since we don't know at exactly what temperature each species will fry, it's best to do nothing at all. He'll probably be saying the same thing once the temp is up 3.6 degrees and most of Florida is under water. Well, at least then we won't have to worry about hanging chads. There's a silver lining to every cloud.
