Robert B. Watson is the chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and, as is the consensus among scientists, recognizes that greenhouse gas emissions have been demonstrated to be changing the climate. So, of course, the Bush administration has withdrawn its support of him.

So those who say I'm an advocate don't want to hear the message that indeed the earth is warming; that most of the warming of the last 50 years is attributable to human activities; that carbon dioxide is the key human-induced greenhouse gas and that most of it comes from fossil fuels. There are some people who clearly don't want to hear that message, but that is the message of the IPCC, and it's obviously the message I give when I speak. I also talk about the uncertainties as well, but if that's advocacy, then by that definition, I'm guilty.
