Oh my crap! Perhaps this is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius (which I guess would actually have been around the year 2000- see link). The Bush administration has finally called for some international cooperation on climate change. Observe the following quote from from the SecSta (thats the cool way to say Secretary of State, like SecDef. Sounds reasonable, right?)

“It is our responsibility as global leaders to forge a new international consensus on how to solve climate change . . . If we stay on our present path, we face an unacceptable choice: either we sacrifice global economic growth to secure the health of our planet or we sacrifice the health of our planet to continue with fossil-fuelled growth.”

Did you just cyber-whiplash from reading that quote like I did? Oh what a brilliant plan! Im so glad that they had to the foresight, no wait the hindsight to admit to a problem that millions of people on the planet already knew we had. Seriously what is this? Did a polar bear finally saunter up to the oval office and tell the president, "What the F---, man?" Because, I honestly cant see another way the president would have been convinced. I guess if someone said to him, "Hey dumbass! Maybe its time to start thinking about that whole legacy thing?" But wait, he has a legacy. Illegal election, vote tampering, illegal war, something, something.... Oh but at least he didnt get his dick sucked. Cause thats really the only thing Clinton did, right? Well that and causing 9/11.

I for one am ecstatic that someone is finally taking the environment seriously. It leads me back to the earlier post about Arnold Schwarzenegger. Listen to him because of his awesome power, environmental girly man!

We'll see if he gets flack from his right-wing base for this seemingly reversal of administration and Republican policy (I know this is over-generalizing the right, but c'mon over-generalizing is funnier). All those people who think "scientific evidence" supports global warming. Please, scientology has more science in it, so does science fiction, or social science (zing! take that sociology scholars, your science is softer than frogurt.) Apparently the only things conservatives dont have problem aborting is their children's futures.
