Bush White House Creates Alternate Reality

Bush Aide Softened Greenhouse Gas Links to Global Warming - New York Times

This is how they do it, Howie. This is how they "tweak" reality to reflect their political agenda. A lawyer with no scientific training and a former lobbyist for the American Petroleum Institute, this guy rewrites scientific research to reflect administration policy. They "fix the intelligence" to suit the policy.
Each administration has a policy position on climate change. But I have not seen a situation like the one that has developed under this administration during the past four years, in which politicization by the White House has fed back directly into the science program in such a way as to undermine the credibility and integrity of the program.

God help us.
