Michael's post below states what (almost) everyone knows...there is no longer a debate about global warming. That is except for the Bush White House and the major oil companies. So no great surprises from this AP story...the Bush staff guy who edited all the global warming documents....he's going to work at ExxonMobil....some things are just too perfect:
A former White House official and one-time oil industry lobbyist whose editing of government reports on climate change prompted criticism from environmentalists will join Exxon Mobil Corp., the oil company said Tuesday.Rewarded for a job well done no doubt.
The White House announced over the weekend that Philip Cooney, chief of staff of its Council on Environmental Quality, had resigned, calling it a long-planned departure. He had been head of the climate program at the American Petroleum Institute, the trade group for large oil companies.
Cooney will join Exxon Mobile in the fall, company spokesman Russ Roberts told The Associated Press in a telephone interview from its Dallas headquarters. He declined to described Cooney's job.
