They now regard the findings as dubious and have reneged on the promise they made to the public, that of taking counter measures to avert the looming crises. In February 2007, a United Nations Report ascertained with 90℅ confidence that greenhouse gases resulting from human activity are the main cause of global warming.

Similar findings were made by NASA, unlike the UN Report dissemination of these findings was stifled. This is attested to by James Hasen a top NASA climate scientist who appears in Hot Politics. He is cited saying that for his entire life in government service he has never witnessed so many constraints to communicate with the public as there are now. Such constraints are largely seen as an attempt to withhold the truth from the public.

Senior Bush pushed that the treaty enforcing controlled emission of Carbon dioxide be made voluntary, Bill Clinton failed to pass the energy tax and was reluctant to have the Senate ratify the Kyoto Protocol. George W. Bush in 2001 reneged on his promise to press for mandatory limits on Carbon dioxide emissions and spearheaded the country’s withdrawal from the Kyoto treaty.

The report uses the voice of climate scientists such as James Hansen and Fredrick Seitz to
