Accoring to the New York Times, the White House has significantly altered an EPA report on the environment to play down global warming.
Among the deletions were conclusions about the likely human contribution to warming from a 2001 report on climate by the National Research Council that the White House had commissioned and that President Bush had endorsed in speeches that year. White House officials also deleted a reference to a 1999 study showing that global temperatures had risen sharply in the previous decade compared with the last 1,000 years. In its place, administration officials added a reference to a new study, partly financed by the American Petroleum Institute, questioning that conclusion.
Is there any doubt that Bush is a stooge of industry, and is not interested in an honest account of the environment?
