Rewriting The Science: How the Bush Administration is Lying to You!

Boatphone- You have already made us aware via Complaints? So why come on this thread and try to bring it off topic?

I suggest you wait for us to review the situation rather than try stir drama in another thread,

Emails indicate Administration tried to block scientist from discussing warming, hurricanes

The Department of Commerce attempted to block a government scientist from discussing the impact of global warming on hurricanes, according to a series of emails obtained by RAW STORY.

In the documents, a request from CNBC's On The Money for an appearance by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) scientist Tom Knutson was, for some reason, forwarded to the press office for the United States Department of Commerce and answered by Chuck Fuqua, who was previously the 2004 Republican National Convention Director of Media Operations.

Mister Fuqua responded by asking the NOAA what Mr. Knutson's stance on global warming's impact on hurricanes was, specifically asking if it was consistent with that of two scientists who have claimed there is no impact on hurricanes from global warming.

After being informed that Knutson believed that global warming would lead to a "very small increase in hurricane intensity" that wouldn't be felt for nearly a century, Fuqua requested that "one of the other guys" be sent.

Looks like a smoking gun to me... :shk:

Hmmm. Bout time.

Scientists have been complaining about muzzling - and loudly - ever since the federal administration blocked US scientists from participating in the international AIDS conferences, and prevented the World Health Organization from directly contacting US researchers. Not to mention the gag orders on prion research.
