The White House (www.whitehouse.gov, that is) has nearly eradicated
global warming (the phase "global warming", that is) from the web
sites search function, the search box in the upper right hand corner.
The is only one instance of "global warming" left searchable , one
from a memo that seeks to cast doubt that the cause is human
activity. (BTW, you need to use quotes around the phase "global
warming" if you want to reproduce the results reported here.)
Here we all thought it would that massive reductions greenhouse gas
emmissions to eliminate global warming. As far as I can tell, they are
using some kind is electronic correction fluid, computer white out.
They just wipe it over a phase in a press conference and, shazam,
utterances of "global warming" by Press Secretary Tony Snow, other
administration figures, and the press are not found by the web site's
search function. They even wiped out President Bush's use of the
phrase "globe is warming" in a March 29, 2006 press conference.
Unfortunately, this eradication of "global warming" may not eliminate
the heat, the political heat that I hope to see come to bear on this
adminstration for this blatant and stupid act of censorship. Turns
out that whitehouse.gov's electronic correction fluid does not work on
google. You can recover all the "global warming" utterances and the
single "globe is warming" one by doing a google advanced web search
and limit the search to only return results from the domain
www.whitehouse.gov.
Please help me get the word out on this. I just discovered this
yesterday and I am trying to catch the attention of higher profile
media any way I can think of.
