Genius! Maybe next they can put together an international conference and determine if the sky is actually blue.

Heh I suppose most of us already knew the truth, but it takes away the ability of the US government to deny the link. Doesn't matter, I suppose:

"The US administration said the report was "valuable", but rejected mandatory controls to reduce greenhouse gases."

"[US Energy Secretary Sam Bodman] said that a unilateral US programme to cut emissions might damage the US economy and send business overseas."

"The US contributes around one-quarter of the world's greenhouse gas emissions."
