The White House yesterday embraced a new international report faulting humans for global warming, marking the furthest President Bush has gone in placing blame.
But administration officials again rejected the Kyoto-style caps on carbon emissions that have been the preferred solution of European nations.
The report, released in Paris by the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said the fact that the Earth is now warming “is unequivocal,” and said it is “very likely” that human activity is responsible for many of the changes.
“Human activity is contributing to changes in our Earth’s climate, and that issue is no longer up for debate,” said Energy Secretary Samuel W. Bodman, who took great pains in a press conference yesterday to point out that U.S. research money and science was critical to producing the report.
