New US move to spoil climate accord

Looks like despite the good signs that have recently been emerging from the USA, the Bush administration still has its head in the sand:
"...Washington officials:
� Removed all reference to the fact that climate change is a 'serious threat to human health and to ecosystems';
� Deleted any suggestion that global warming has already started;
� Expunged any suggestion that human activity was to blame for climate change.
Among the sentences removed was the following: 'Unless urgent action is taken, there will be a growing risk of adverse effects on economic development, human health and the natural environment, and of irreversible long-term changes to our climate and oceans.

This is getting beyond a joke; it's all our futures they are jeapardising. Pray like mad ...
