| Thanks guys, could the next Surgeon General's report on smoking be based on data from the Tobacco Institute? ] Among the deletions were conclusions about the likely] human contribution to warming from a 2001 report on
 ] climate by the National Research Council (news - web
 ] sites) that the White House had commissioned and that
 ] President Bush had endorsed in speeches that year. White
 ] House officials also deleted a reference to a 1999 study
 ] showing that global temperatures had risen sharply in the
 ] previous decade compared with the last 1,000 years. In
 ] its place, administration officials added a reference to
 ] a new study, partly financed by the American Petroleum
 ] Institute, questioning that conclusion.
 See my quotes to the right for what the White House thinks about real science (evolution) as opposed to random crap (intelligent design, creationism, etc). |
