Climate Researchers Feeling Heat From White House
Jeff K writes "Facts and science collide with tribal loyalties, the Washington Post reports: 'Scientists doing climate research for the federal government say the Bush administration has made it hard for them to speak forthrightly to the public about global warming. The result, the researchers say, is a danger that Americans are not getting the full story on how the climate is changing.'"
... the RIAA and MPAA got the White House to hide the fact that global warming is caused by a lack of pirates ...
The Tao of math: The numbers you can count are not the real numbers.
Bush administration not caring about reality and the people living in it... who'da thunk it?

Come on guys, your scientific research is all flawed. There is no such thing as global warming! You need to go back, and do some more studies.

Sure, the situation would be much better if climate research would be financed by private companies like, say, oil companies?

Actually more middleleft, but if you prefer to remain blinded to the reality perhaps the extra UV rays will aid your efforts.

The scientists have 65536 Pentium 4 processors working on the problem right now, each consuming 400W of power, all to model the earth and it's atmosphere in an effort to fortell the climate changes that are underway.
10 40Ton Air conditioners are cooling the computer room where all this computing is going on. Safely venting the heat to the cool night sky.
It won't be long before we can prove beyond a shadow of doubt that global warming is happening.
We just need a few more coal powered power plants brought online to level the power grid as we work to bring on stage 2 of our processor array.
That will actually model the grass on the Minnesota plains so we can judge their cooling effect... etc etc.
Thank goodness for computers and Science.
White House Effect: The phenomenon whereby government agencies trap climate control funding, caused by the presence in the atmosphere of Republican FUD that allows donator-friendly information to pass through but absorbs evidence radiated back from concerned scientists. (original definition)
"So as you feel your skin cancer forming and watch the ice caps come washing over us, just remember it isn't because of mankind, President Bush says so."
And global warming is linked to an incidence of skin cancer... how?
I think you're referring to the ozone hole.
That was the LAST Impending Global Catastrophe. Keep up with the times.
Light a fire for a man and he'll be warm for a day. Light a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
"Essentially what I'm asking you is, "Would a Democratic president be doing anything differently?" That's hard to decide--both sides are all talk and no action on this subject."
Global Warming for some, miniature American flags for others!

Man, you really need that seminar!
Not if you want to call yourself a fundamentalist, it's not.
