Polar Ice Melting? Blame Bush, Of Course!

Regular readers here know I have no truck with global warming alarmists. But this article in today's Guardian is so egregious I have to give you a link:

Revealed: the secret evidence of global warming Bush tried to hide.

Graphic images that reveal the devastating impact of global warming in the Arctic have been released by the US military. The photographs, taken by spy satellites over the past decade, confirm that in recent years vast areas in high latitudes have lost their ice cover in summer months.

The pictures, kept secret by Washington during the presidency of George W Bush, were declassified by the White House last week. President Barack Obama is currently trying to galvanise Congress and the American public to take action to halt catastrophic climate change caused by rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

As you can probably tell, I am not appropriately horrified by this. Nope. Once they tip over the cliff of conspiracy theory, that's when I know the warmists have lost it. Don't they know that satellite imagery of the Arctic has been freely available for decades? The military are not the only ones with satellites.

Here is the true story on polar ice from the, er, US military. And the editors at the Guardian would be wise to check this too.

I think we need a George W. Bush corollary to Godwin's Law: As soon as you bring up Bush, you lose.
