Climate Researchers Feeling Heat From White House

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the get-up-there-and-talk-science-boy dept.

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.'"

    More FUD by the far-left wackjobs.

    "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.
