US urged to help slow Arctic thaw

Polar bears face extinction due to climate change, scientists say
Indigenous people from the Arctic have urged the US to cut greenhouse gas emissions to slow down the current thaw of the polar ice.
At a conference in Iceland, they warned their traditional way of life was endangered by global warming.

They accused Washington of thwarting efforts to reduce the problem by refusing to sign the Kyoto agreement.

1. Bush's Beautiful Mind Won't Allow Him To Consider This

If he can't see dead kids, how could he see dead polar bears?

Bush does not care. He really buys into that Rapture shit.

4. But the Rapture Doesn't Occur

Just dead bodies and kids. The Bushies will probably just say it's God's natural order.
