This is a 'sunlit' view of Earth on Earth Day taken June 1,1996, during the flight of Space Shuttle Endeavour. NASA called it a 'sunburst' photo. Well, the sun doesn't look like it burst to me.
Some folks in the Executive Branch would like us to believe the sun is what is causing Human Induced Global Warming even after all the scientist in the world say otherwise and the Supreme Court of the USA has ruled carbon dioxide can be treated by the EPA as a gas to regulate because it effects human health.
It reminds me of the time when the entire United Nations Security Council with inspectors ON THE GROUND in Iraq stated, "There are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq" and Bush never listened. Interesting this administration CONTINUALLY has the same problem. Same problem with bringing home the troops. Same problem with having a vigorous diplomatic corp. Same problem with everything and everyone.
DO I SEE A PATTERN?
Let's see.
The Decider is always right !
A senior EU official urged the United States Friday to engage Iran in direct negotiations about its nuclear program and other issues to try to stabilize the Middle East.
Javier Solana, the EU's foreign and security affairs chief, told an annual trans-Atlantic security conference he came away from two days of talks in Ankara with Iran's top nuclear negotiator this week believing that Ali Khameini, Iran's spiritual leader, was ready for direct talks with Washington.
"The United States must engage" with Iran, said Solana, who is to meet with US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice in Washington on Monday.
He said Washington's hostility toward Teheran only served to reinforce "a situation in which Iran is considered as a country that cannot be organized into some sort of dialogue."
