“The Bush administration has engaged in a systematic effort to manipulate climate change science and mislead policymakers and the public about the dangers of global warming,” concludes a report from the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. The report, written by the Democratic majority, is the product of a 16-month investigation into the Bush administration’s alleged climate-science tampering, including accusations that it edited climate scientists’ testimony to Congress, limited the public’s access to government climate scientists, suppressed scientific views out of line with the administration’s, and edited climate documents to emphasize uncertainties and play down humans’ role in climate change. Republicans called the congressional report “a partisan diatribe” saying it was “biased and incomplete.” Wonder what they missed.
