Republicans Suppressing Climate Change From Government Documents
The Bush Administration has been busy suppressing any discussion of climate change or global warming from a range of documents including press releases and communications with congress. In a story carried by the Christian Science Monitor the claim is made by more than 120 scientists across seven federal agencies. They say they have been pressured to remove references to “climate change” and “global warming” from a range of documents, including press releases and communications with Congress.
Roughly the same number say Republican appointees altered the meaning of scientific findings on climate contained in communications related to their research.These findings, part of a new report compiled by two watchdog groups, shed new light on complaints by a scattering of scientists over the past year who have publicly complained that Bush administration appointees have tried to mute or muzzle what researchers have to say about global warming.
