Rewriting the Science
This report from the CBS show "60 Minutes" (transcript here) tell us about this climate change scientist working for NASA and how he has been silenced by the White House.
He tell us that all the scientific reports going to the public have now to go through the White House for review, and how they get rewritten by lawyers or politicians.
The White House is downplaying the importance of global warming and the guy responsible for reviewing the reports (Phil Cooney) was a lobbyist for the American Petroleum Institute. He now works for Exxon Mobil.
If this is of any interest to you, I recommend you read the transcript or watch the video for more details. It is really worth it!
