As a United Nations panel readied an update on global warming this week, charges erupted in Congress Tuesday over alleged White House political manipulation of scientific climate-change research.
Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said at a hearing that evidence indicated Bush administration officials had tried to “mislead the public by injecting doubt into the science of global warming.”
Two advocacy groups released a survey to the panel in which a number of government climate scientists claimed either that their research had been edited to change the meaning or that they were told to delete references to “global warming” or “climate change” from reports, writes the Chicago Tribune.
