"Even if we succeed in lifting this heavy hand of censorship there is still the problem of getting the political leadership to embrace the findings put forward by the scientists," said Rick Piltz, who resigned his position with the Climate Change Science Program, CCSP, in 2005 in protest of White House interference with climate science. A report released last month found that nearly half the 279 climate scientists who responded to a survey reported being pressured to delete references to "global warming" or "climate change" from scientific papers or reports. The acting head of the CCSP, Bill Brennan, said the allegations were isolated incidents, adding that the Bush administration "takes the concerns of its scientists very seriously," and is taking steps to remedy the situation. Completed in 2000, the national assessment was mandated by the 1990 Global Change Research Act. It was intended to be continually updated and to serve as a centerpiece of the government's effort to inform the policymakers and the public in developing a national climate policy. The administration effectively killed the program and suppressed discussion of it by participating agencies, according to Piltz. He also urged the committee to examine the state of federal spending on climate science. 全文及图片详见http://www.ens-newswire.com/ens/feb2007/2007-02-07-10.asp -- Half of what I said is meaningless, but I said it so that the other half can reach you -- http://www.wretch.cc/blog/weitzern --
