The Bush administration attack on science continues. Scientists are currently testifying to congress on the impact  global warming has on our health.

While this was going on deletions were made to their testimony. The original testimony of 14 pages has been edited down to 6 pages.

Either officials in the administration are great at summarizing or they are cutting out data that would prove that they actually have to do something about the problem. They eliminated all references to global warming being a public health concern.

Unbelievable. For an administration that believes in the apocalypse and creationism word for word as it is in the bible its no surprise that they would allow this kind of an approach. Global warming is basically agreed upon by all in the legitimate scientific community. What isn't agreed upon are specific weather pattern models.

But when it comes to the health of the American public don't we have a right to know with out 8 pages being edited?

"What was cut was the section with the details -- the most detailed sections on the health impact of global warming, including descriptions of the links that are coming out of the IPCC report." There was overwhelming agreement in the scientific community that the information was in no way alarmist or controversial."

How sad that this administration still thumbs their nose at this. No wonder people have so many differing views on global warming and can't agree whether its happening or not. We can't even get our own government to release the correct scientific data and information to us so that we can read the truth about whats going on and make up our own minds.

The fact is this administration is knee deep in cooperate lobbyists and doing something would mean costing major cooporations like oil companies and energy companies money to help fix the problem. Instead the administration is intent on staying the course with their garbage science policies and garbage energy polices and costing the American public knowledge and their health.
