As propounded by the "liberal" Bush administration.
"There is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming over
the last 50 years is attributable to human activities. Scientists
know for certain that human activities are changing the composition
of Earth's atmosphere. Increasing levels of greenhouse gases, like
carbon dioxide (CO2 ), in the atmosphere since pre-industrial times
have been well documented There is no doubt this atmospheric buildup
of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases is largely the result of
human activities."
