Bush Administration submits evasive Climate Action Report to the UN

The Bush administration
In a major report delivered on July 27 to the Secretariat of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Bush Administration says that, since 2001, it has dedicated nearly $29 billion to advance climate-related science, technology, international assistance, and incentive programs. However, that considerable investment has apparently not been enough to purchase a full, clear, and unambiguous acknowledgment from the Administration in U.S. Climate Action Report — 2006 (CAR4) that human activity is rapidly changing climate, that impacts are now being observed, that the consequences will grow steadily throughout the 21st century and beyond, and that the U.S. is vulnerable and must prepare for those impacts. In contrast, reports submitted to the UNFCCC Secretariat by other national governments show no such reluctance to accept and acknowledge the international scientific consensus on the causes and consequences of climate change, and the implications for their countries

The Department of State submitted the report on Friday July 27, marking the event only with a brief media note from the department
