Political interference with climate science?
ø
Very interesting study, released today, on the role that the US federal government has had on ‘altering’ the findings by key scientists on the topic of global warming. In a report by the the Union of Concerned Scientists and the Government Accountability Project, Atmosphere of Pressure – Political Interference in Federal Climate Science, it found that many scientist were pressured to edit their scientific findings on global warming – removing words such as “climate change” and “global warming”. In fact, some scientists (25%) even removed themselves from a project “because of pressure to change scientific findings.”
