I Ain't Got Nothin' for You Man

More fallout from Bush's State of (Dis)Union. According to the Union of Concerned Scientists,

regarding climate:

To ensure we leave our children and grandchildren a safe climate, Congress and the president need to work together to establish near term cuts in global warming pollution and set long term emission reduction targets aimed at avoiding the worst effects of global warming.

regarding clean vehicles:

Although challenges remain for turning these goals into reality, UCS hopes to see real progress with the new Congress, and we’ll be looking to you for help.

regarding clean energy:

Although President Bush paid lip service to clean electricity technologies, he failed to support critical renewable energy legislation requiring utilities to produce a percentage of electricity be produced from renewable sources like wind and solar.

regarding scientific integrity:

Although the president addressed the need for "technological breakthroughs...to confront the serious challenge of global climate change," developing that technology and understanding the true scope of this challenge requires independent science free from political interference.
