This is despicable. As I have often said in the past, if you truly disagree, put forth your evidence and let’s debate this. If you stifle dissent you only reinforce their point. The Bush administration’s efforts to bowdlerize this issue is frightening. Don’t you care about your children?

A former White House official accused of improperly editing reports on global warming defended his editorial changes Monday as reflecting views expressed in a 2001 report by the National Academy of Sciences.

 

House Democrats said the 181 changes made in three climate reports reflected a consistent attempt to emphasize uncertainties surrounding the science of climate change and undercut the broad conclusions that manmade emissions are warming the earth.

Philip Cooney, former chief of staff at the White House Council on Environmental Quality, acknowledged at a House hearing that some of the changes he made were “to align these communications with the administration’s stated policy” on climate change.

I have a novel idea. Instead of attacking the source, let’s look at some of the evidence and discuss that.

    Oh my, it’s the Republicans silencing debate on global warming? Anyone check out Al Gore’s statements that the media should ignore the skeptics? By the way, you keep referencing 928 articles. Go back to your talking points and take another look. The talking point claims it was all articles dealing with climate change, but what they really looked at was ‘global climate change’. Searching for ‘climate change’ yields 10000 articles. So let us know when they look through the other 90% of the articles.

    Lauren nails it. BTW – what’s a “Ghoti” & how did you become one?

    I’m just waiting for Dvorak to chime in here now, and – somehow – start dragging Gore’s name through the mud. His batting average on that is really up there.

    #23 – there’s something fishy about Lauren….

    #25, Malren

    Are you suggesting you can dish it out but can’t take it?

    So did you stop?

  6. malren says:

    Hysterical. I point out a violation, and *I* get edited. Fusion just gets to be an insulting jerk whenever he wants, regardless of the topic. meanwhile:

    No, political belief plays no part in how the rules get applied around here…

    27,

    Sorry, I’ve been busy. I removed the offending comments. You know I don’t like that stuff either. Please note though, Fusion was replying to your “wife beating” comment.
