Haven't the Bush bots been able to silence the people at NASA? Don't they realize that it's the official policy of our Republican dominated government to deny any existance of global warming, in spite of all the facts?

James Hansen, director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, said 2005 produced the highest annual average surface temperature worldwide — 58.3 degrees Fahrenheit — since instrument recordings began in the late 1800s."
"...2005 reached the warmth of 1998 without help from the “El Nino of the century.”"
"During the past 30 years, Earth has warmed more than 1 degree in total, making it about the warmest it's been in 10,000 years, Hansen said. Jay Lawrimore of the federal government's National Climatic Data Center said his center's forthcoming analysis “will likely show that 2005 (was) slightly warmer than 1998.”"
