Donald Kennedy, editor of Science, called into question the wisdom of the
US climate science plan in his Science editorial on 21 March 2003. He
asserts that failure of the Bush administration to call for immediate
action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is shortsighted. The current
administration plan calls for gradual change in emissions with emphasis on
adaptation. Kennedy asserts that "it now appears equally likely that
warming events will trigger an abrupt nonlinear process, producing
dramatic regional temperature decreases, especially in the temperate
Northern Hemisphere."
