GOP pollster now accepts Global Warming Science
I keep wanting to say, "you know, Republicans are people
just like you and me". Then I read more evidence that they
are actually demonic soulless reptilian subhumans.

------------------

Many high-profile global warming skeptics have recently changed their position...... The most remarkable cognitive flip to date must certainly come from Frank Luntz: He is the man who wrote the infamous memo.. coaching the current US administration on the best ways to confuse the issue and delay action.. Well, Luntz has told the BBC that he now accepts the scientific consensus on global warming and has changed his position, but that he doesn't feel responsible for what the US government is doing with his advice (Australia, and recently Canada, have also been inspired by these tactics).

Full transcript:

Luntz: "It's now 2006. I think most people would conclude that there is global warming taking place and that the behavior of humans are (sic) affecting the climate."
BBC: "But the administration has continued taking your advice. They're still questioning the science."

Luntz: "That's up to the administration. I'm not the administration. What they want to do is their business. It has nothing to do with what I write. It has nothing to do with what I believe."

2. It's beginning to look alot like election year....
Sing it with me!

Bush even changed his tune on global warming today. It's amazing how election time brings out the "compassionate conservative" in some of them. :eyes:
