Bush Aide Doctors Reports Linking Greenhouse Gas to Global Warming

In this New York Times article - Bush Aide Softened Greenhouse Gas Links to Global Warming - we see once again how the Bush administration frequently alters facts to better fit their political agenda.

Be sure to check out the Multimedia Graphic, which shows the original two reports by the Climate Change Science Program and the Subcommittee on Global Change Research, and how Philip A. Cooney (chief of staff for the White House Council on Environmental Quality) "doctored" them up.

Robert Kennedy, Jr., a featured speaker at the upcoming Sierra Summit this September, recently spoke with "Planet" editor Tom Valtin about the current threats to democracy and the environment. You can read the interview here.

One of my favorite quotes from Kennedy: "In essence, 80 percent of Republicans are just Democrats who don’t know what’s going on." The reason? They’re getting their news from Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, and the Sinclair network, which are not telling them the truth.

i.e. A recent PIPA (Program on International Policy Attitudes) Report showed that 65 percent of the president's supporters believed that Bush strongly supported the Kyoto Protocol and strong labor and environmental standards in our international treaties. Bet they heard that from their friend Santa Claus.
