• Atlas Misled: UN Book Exposes Flaws of Environmentalist Argument

  The UN recently released an atlas "revealing the global devastation of man." Upon a closer look, what is included in the book does not help prove man's destruction- as media reviews have gleaned. However, what is not included in the book does illustrate where the modern environmentalist contention logically falls short.

  I have to wonder how well this approach of everyone sitting down in a big circle and trying to work together is going to work. I think that the lack of a clear leader is going to hurt the effort. Either Bush needs to fill that position, or else appoint someone else to do it. We'll see how that plays out. We'll see whether Bush can fulfill his promises.
