Two likely Presidential hopefuls Hillary Clinton and John McCain went to Alaska and stated the obvious: global warming is real, it's having a devastating effect TODAY and the sooner we act, the more we can limit the damage.
Dan Lashof, a scientist with the Natural Resources Defence Council, a respected Washington-based group, told The Independent: "People in Alaska are starting to freak out. The retreat of the sea ice allows the oceans to pound the coast more, and villages there are suffering from the effects of that erosion. There is permafrost melting, roads are buckling, there are forests that have been infested with beetles because of a rise in temperatures. I think residents there feel it's visible more and more, more than any other place in the country."But Bush doesn't care. Facts are for losers.
