By now, we've all read about the latest environmental wedgie that Vice President Dick Cheney has given to the world's climate. If you somehow missed the story, here's the bad news:

WASHINGTON - Seeking to play down the effects of global warming, Vice President Dick Cheney's office pushed to delete from congressional testimony references about the consequences of climate change on public health, a former senior EPA official claimed Tuesday.

The official, Jason K. Burnett, said the White House was concerned that the proposed testimony last October by the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention might make it tougher to avoid regulating greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere.

"The Council on Environmental Quality and the office of the vice president were seeking deletions to the CDC testimony (concerning) ... any discussions of the human health consequences of climate change," Burnett wrote in a July 6 letter to Sen. Barbara Boxer....

In other words, keeping true to his homeys at Halliburton, the Veep Who Must Not Be Named was up to his same old tricks.

As shocked as we were to learn this distressing news, we have to confess that we knew about it all along. In fact, we revealed a giant clue to this bombshell development back in April, with the release of our controversial new biography, Young Dick Cheney: Great American.

As our reporting revealed, Young Dick's deep-seated resentment of the environment began when he was a mere grade-schooler in 1950's Wyoming--a lonely, portly child who saw the world differently from the other neighborhood boys.

There are many ways to avoid solutions to global warming, Dick Cheney has used some. He is not the only one. The media have probably done their share of preventing workable solutions to come to the attention of the citizens of America and the world.

For several years, I have presented one day of no work for anyone as a solution to cut the energy crisis and pollution about 1/7th. More recently the food crisis and global warming have come to our attention and the same day of no work would cut the cost of fuel, leave food as food instead of converting to fuel and cut global warming rate by about 1/7th.

Could it be because God commanded a day of no work and we don't want to acknowledge the word "God" in our government and newspapers? Leviticus 26 shows us the past, the present and the future and shows us why natural and man-made terrors are happening around the world. We would do well to fear the faithfulness of God to bring wrath to those who dispise His wisdom.

We could promote God's easy solution and save our planet and our health or we can ignor the word "God" and reap the consequences. We need to know God has all things worked out to bring true peace and freedom if we would just cover that subject as we would other news stories.
