Pollution Producing President: Its Not Just Hot Air, Its Fuzzy Science

Science, it's the way humans organize facts about our environment into terms we can understand. By environment I don't mean just the trees, I mean everything around us. The information organized and based on observation and testing and genuine thought. In some cases, there is room for interpretation. The statistics can always be read one way or another. The current president of the U.S. and his administration seem quite adept at altering these scientific observations to suit their fancy. The New York Times recently reported that Philip Cooney, chief of staff for the White House Council on Environmental Quality, recently doctored some scientific reports on global warming, admittedly a silly and mundane topic for the White House. In his efforts to maintain that menial quality, he dramatically downplayed the links between emissions and climate change.
