"New evidence shows that the Bush administration has continued to distort and suppress science in pursuit of its political goals—despite a plea from top U.S. scientists to restore scientific integrity to the policy making process." Union of Concerned Scientists, July 2004

"We see changes in climate; we believe we humans are involved; and we're projecting future climate changes much more significant over the next 100 years than the last 100 years." Robert Watson (Chair, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change)
