Congress Removes the Gag from Government Global Warming Scientists
The Democrats have taken over Congress. Let science reign!
After years of the Bush Administration’s efforts to suppress and alter the global warming research by scientists working for us, the taxpayers, new House Government Reform and Oversight Committee Chairman Henry Waxman (D-CA) has finally provided a public platform for climate researchers from NOAA to share the uncensored findings of their research and to expose systematic efforts by the Bush Administration to gag them.
On the Senate side, Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) began hearings on global warming, too. While it mostly consisted of posturing statements by members of the committee, it is also a good start.
On the heels of a UN report citing a 90 percent chance that global warming is caused by humans, the timing of these hearings is good and long-overdue.
