Hour One: Global Warming and Administration Policy

A recent report from the National Academy of Science adds still more support to the idea that human-induced gloabal warming is a serious threat. The report has caused President Bush to modify his energy policy. However, the administration continues to oppose the Kyoto Protocol.

As President Bush makes his first European tour, through countries that strongly believe in the need for a global action to halt climate change, we'll take a look at current U.S. policies relating to global warming.
