They have been trying to put a name on it for years. And in today's environment (political that is) it has deteriorated to a political red herring.

And as we all know (most of us) there are certain things the government just needs to be out of and global warming is one. The current government can't make anything happen to help with today's economy.....why would anybody trust them to do anything right and as nebulous as global warming. It is like to put measurements on a passing cloud. I am sure somebody in Washington could make a case for trying to do it.....if there was something in it for them....that is the establishment!!!!
