Scientists Say White House Pressuring Them To Alter Global Warming Writings

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. scientists were pressured to tailor their writings on global warming to fit the Bush administration's skepticism, in some cases at the behest of a former oil-industry lobbyist, a congressional committee heard on Tuesday.

    I wouldn't doubt it, the US government always gets what it wants.

    "White House official Phil Cooney took an active role in casting doubt on the consequences of global climate change.

    Cooney, who was a lobbyist for the American Petroleum Institute before becoming chief of staff at the White House Council on Environmental Quality, resigned in 2005 to work for oil giant ExxonMobil"

    Look, just because he lobbied for Big Oil before his time at the White House, and worked for Big Oil after doesn't mean he can't be objective and even-handed regarding global warming during his time at the White House. Geez.

    It's all a big liberal media conspiracy, if you ask me.

    Why can't people understand that everything you hear and read as "news" is really a big plot by left-wing bleeding hearts to make us Americans feel ashamed of ourselves? Reuters is just a cog in a vast liberal conspiracy media machine.

    God made the Earth for humans to use as we see fit. That's in the Bible. And global warming was invented by hippies in the 60s, people.

    How is this propaganda? It's simply a report on scientists saying that the White House has pressured them to alter their writings.

    Unassailable and conclusive proof that global warming doesn't exist. Try and argue against that, you dirty liberals!

    Problem with global warming is they we conservatives won't be able to prove you liberals wrong for thousands of years - unlike say communism or DDT where a lot of people lived to yell I TOLD YOU!! ;)

    Because global warming doesn't effect weather, it effects climate.

    Just b/c it's 15 degrees one day, doesn't mean global warming doesn't exist.

    The real keys to global warming is animal migration patterns, ice movements, extreme weather, etc.

    You know Global Warming occurs at both extremes right? Just because it's not 90 degress in January doesn't mean that global warming doesn't exist..Global warming causes more extreme weather at both ends of the spectrum, the cold gets colder and the warm gets warmer...

    I honestly wonder, what will it take for the people who choose to ignore and discount global climate change to realize that it's indeed a reality?

    Massive flooding of major U.S. metropolitian areas, I guess. Those who deny it will continue to ignorantly deny it until it comes to their doorstep.

    But everyone accepts that it's happening. Everyone. It's whether they think we are the cause and whether they think we can do something to stop it.

    yea, this isnt the first time the White House has done this. It's weird, my prof in my President Class today told us about how the Office of Management and Budget changed scientists statements about global warming during the first Bush (H.W.) admin.

    i'm convinced jake is serious. there are plenty of people who don't believe in global warming (it makes me cringe to even type that.) but then again there are plenty of people who believed every word Al Gore said to them.
