Gee, when even the global warming skeptics are noticing that it's getting 
warmer, the mystery is what excuse W will use next for continuing his 
patented "Burn more oil and coal" policies

>self-professed skeptic, is currently undergoing a change of heart. As chief
>of the Global Climate Laboratory of the U.S. National Oceanic and
>Atmospheric Administration, he is charged with keeping tabs on trends in the

>Theory - that gases produced by burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil
>would trap heat in the atmosphere, warming up the Earth. Now, at least in
