Intersting article in the news this AM. Heard it from several sources. Looks like the Bush administration has been attempting to suppress some science.

"Federal scientists have been pressured by the White House to play down global warming, advocacy groups testified Tuesday at the Democrats' first investigative hearing since taking control of Congress. .....At the House hearing, two private advocacy groups produced a survey of 279 government climate scientists showing that many of them say they have been subjected to political pressure aimed at downplaying the climate threat."

Looks like suppression of scientific opinion is the only tactic left to those senior administration officials when they find no credible research to back up their position!
