Global Warming

According to Earth Times:

 

Global carbon dioxide emissions are increasing at a faster rate than expected, according to researchers at the Global Carbon Project... [B] etween 2000 and 2005, emissions nearly quadrupled well above the levels in the previous decade. From 1990 to 1999, the global rates of carbon emissions were 0.8 percent, but these spiraled to 3.2 percent between 2000 to 2005...  "On our current path, we will find it extremely difficult to rein in carbon emissions enough to stabilize the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration at 450ppm, and even 550ppm will be a challenge," [Dr. Mike Raupach] said. "At some point in the near future, we will miss the boat in terms of achieving acceptable levels."

 

While we are losing our opportunity to fix the problem, the Bush Administration is ignoring the problem and cutting spending on environmental programs. 

 

If only the President understood that programs to save the environment are faith-based programs.
