11th Hour Global Warming Impact Studies Released. By Joseph Romm, Grist, January 21, 2009. "What subject matter is so abhorrent it would motivate the Bush administration to release multiple reports simultaneously the Friday before the four-day weekend that culminates in their loss of power, and when they can be certain the media will be focused on other matters?... On Friday January 16, the U.S. Climate Change Science Program actually released four major Synthesis and Assessment reports... all substantive and comprehensive studies, almost on a par with the IPCC's Fourth Assessment... The Arctic report [states] 'The past tells us that when thresholds in the climate system are crossed, climate change can be very large and very fast. We cannot rule out that human-induced climate change will trigger such events in the future.'"
