Had I wanted to get panties in a twist, I would have placed this in Politics.
Relax Ustwo....no one else in here thought to beat up Bush....but instead focused on the bulk of the article....you know....possible catastrophic climate change.
*Edit: I think I found the part that got you exited.....one line at the very end of the article....I really didnt think it pointed a harsh finger....but I guess I wasnt..."LOOKING" for it
The deal came after Tony Blair struggled at the G8 summit to get the US president, George Bush, to commit to any concerted action on climate change and has been heavily criticised for setting no targets for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
This is the offensive part.....Right?

Then perhaps you should have stated so in your discussion
Saying we are screwed and then inserting a political hit piece disguised as science leads one to the conclusion that you endorsed the hit piece.
The article itself does not contain enough science to really talk about how screwed we are. Hell if you want to feel screwed think about the methane hydrate. Last time it melted it was thought to have wiped out 98% of all life
(Edit added)
We ARE screwed in one way or another. I'll take global warming over the next ice age, but either way we are going to have issues. The question isn't IF the question is when. Part of the problem is we are getting a flood of information about things such as super volcanos, the Siberian lava flats, global warming, global cooling, past snowball earths etc, and we have very little ability to predict. So while we are screwed there is nothing to do but wait it out.
