[Dan] The Bush administration has consistently slanted the global warming debate ever since taking office. Check this out: http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=07/01/31/1543215 And this is a quote from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Hansen "James Hansen has also appeared on 60 Minutes claiming that the White House has been editing climate related press releases reported by federal agencies to make global warming seem less threatening. He is unable to speak "freely", without the backlash of other government officials. "In my more than three decades in the government I've never witnessed such restrictions on the ability of scientists to communicate with the public," he said in one of his many public appearances. "He makes claims that the tipping point (also known as the runaway effect) is upon us, and that if in 10 years the human population is unable to reduce greenhouse gases, that the oceans might rise as much as 10 feet by 2100."
