Have you heard that Bush will not attend the UN meeting on climate change -- what could he possibly learn after all? Instead he will stage a "climate meeting" this week to usurp the credible work done by the UN. Wanna bet what the US Media will cover? We must that the images shown here and video coverage of Greenland's major melt this summer will jar Americans to demand action. I talked to a young college student yesterday who thinks global warming is a hoax. He can't see the ice melting, so it's not. He believes the "ice will come back." Sad.
