KERRY AND BUSH RESPOND TO SCIENCE QUESTIONNAIRE The journal Nature this week published responses from the Bush and Kerry campaigns to a questionnaire on topics such as stem-cell research, global warming, and nuclear weapons. Read their responses: http://dsc.discovery.com/news/afp/20040913/bushkerry.html Bush and Kerry differ sharply on the matter of whether humans are causing global warming. Excerpts: Bush: "In 2001, I asked the National Academy of Sciences to provide the most up-to-date information about the science of climate change. It found that considerable uncertainty remains about the effect of natural fluctuations on climate and the future impacts climate change will have on our natural environment." Kerry: "The scientific evidence is clear that global warming is already happening and rising levels of global warming pollution are making the problem worse." The 2001 National Academy of Sciences report President Bush references can be found at: http://books.nap.edu/html/climatechange/ The summary of the report opens with these sentences: "Greenhouse gases are accumulating in Earth's atmosphere as a result of human activities, causing surface air temperatures and subsurface ocean temperatures to rise. Temperatures are, in fact, rising. The changes observed over the last several decades are likely mostly due to human activities, but we cannot rule out that some significant part of these changes is also a reflection of natural variability."
