Surgeon General Describes Censorship From Bush Administration
UniversalVM writes "The NY Times is reporting that the former Surgeon General in damaging testimony given to the senate describes how he was repeatedly censored by the Bush administration while speaking out about topics such as global warming, Stem cell research and so on. The effort was to 'water down' or weaken reports on important issues to suit Republican Agenda. He describes how he attended one meeting where Global Warming was being described as a 'Liberal Agenda' and being dismissed. He tried to intervene thinking that the people there did not understand the science so he set about explaining it to them, the result? He was never invited back."
Let's start this letter with a little quiz:
1. What exactly is Michael Cherftoff trying to hide?
2. Why does the media consistently refuse to acknowledge that Cherftoff carries nothing but hatred and destruction in his heart?
3. Essay: Compare and contrast Cherftoff's positions to those of what I call laughable turncoats, focusing especially on who is more likely to tell everyone else what to do.
Don't worry; I'll give you all the answers throughout the course of this letter as well as a wealth of other information about Cherftoff. If you disagree with my claim that I condemn Cherftoff's carnival-barker gimmicks, then read no further.
What I find frightening is that some academics actually believe Cherftoff's line that the sun rises just for him. In this case, "academics" refers to a stratum of the residual intelligentsia surviving the recession of its demotic base, not to those seekers of truth who understand that there are few certainties in life. I have counted only three: death, taxes, and Cherftoff doing some pharisaical thing every few weeks. He has figuratively enclosed himself in a secure elitist ghetto. Some people might object to that claim, and if they do, my response is: He has planted his acolytes everywhere. You can find them in businesses, unions, activist organizations, tax-exempt foundations, professional societies, movies, schools, churches, and so on. Not only does this subversive approach enhance Cherftoff's ability to transform our little community into a global crucible of terror and gore but it also provides irrefutable evidence that he is locked into his present course of destruction. He does not have the interest or the will to change his fundamentally juvenile prank phone calls. I am now in a position to define what I mean when I say that in the good old days, when courage, honor, devotion, duty, and loyalty meant something, it was comparatively easy to end Cherftoff's control over the minds and souls of countless people. What I mean is that he not only lies, but he brags about his lying to his minions. Cherftoff wants us to believe that freedom must be abolished in order for people to be more secure and comfortable. How stupid does he think we are? This is an important question because I indubitably have a hard time trying to reason with people who remain calm when they see Cherftoff put the most sniffish punks I've ever seen on the federal payroll.
The first response to this from Cherftoff's vassals is perhaps that everyone with a different set of beliefs from Cherftoff's is going to get a one-way ticket to Hell. Wrong. Just glance at the facts: Far too many people tolerate Cherftoff's imprecations as long as they're presented in small, seemingly harmless doses. What these people fail to realize, however, is that for all Cherftoff's bombast about freedom, liberty, and tolerance, he still wants to make bribery legal and part of business as usual. Let me recap that for you, because it really is extraordinarily important: I, not being one of the many salacious rotters of this world, have traveled the length and breadth of this country and talked with the best people. I can therefore assure you that there is still hope for our society, real hope -- not the false sense of hope that comes from the mouths of disagreeable slanderers, but the hope that makes you eager to stand as a witness in the divine court of the eternal judge and proclaim that his worshippers believe that those rights and protections which give us voice in a democratic society are the cause of Jacobinism and social chaos and must be thwarted or dismantled. I have always been an independent thinker. I'm not influenced by popular trends, the media, or even so-called undisputed facts when parroted by others. Maybe that streak of independence is what first enabled me to see that I have no idea why Cherftoff makes such a big fuss over Stalinism. There are far more pressing issues that present themselves and that should be discussed, debat
The New York Times is the same newspaper that, two years ago, released a very long, very fact-barren cover story, and later ADMITTED that everything in the article was a blatant lie.

we are experiencing the effect right now.
Glaciers gone, lake in the atrtic dried up, building in Alaska falling into the sea, food in Alaska being rotten at the time of picking, lakes of fish turning up dead and oxygen deprived, just to name a few.
There are cheap solution. Three are technolgies for carbon collection, but there has to be government backing to get it going. Once it is working, then companies will be able to make some money setting up carbon capture points. The that technology can be spread to some key areas, thus providing jobs for the locals.
"and will be for about 10 years, or however long it will take to make sure the Sun isn't the culprit"
that is easily disproved now using the inverse square law, as well as comparing temperature increase with sun activity. It is actually a fairly simply thing to rule out. Plus it wouldn't explain the carbon. 50 ppm more we have now then at any historical record shows.
Many scientist I have talked to wish that was the cause, because they feel the government would gt behind solutions to the problems that are arising.
