QUOTE According to a UCS survey whose findings were presented to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, more than 40 percent of the 279 scientists who responded said their work had been edited to more closely reflect the administration's position on climate change. Well, at least he's not ignoring science anymore. He's just making science say what he wants it to say. -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM)  Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

I hate to bring 1984 into discussion for fear of being the spreader of conspiracy theory, but this reminds me of engsoc in 1984. In the book, they controlled the news and most importantly changed history. 40 percent is a lot of scientists. This is blatant propaganda

I trust a bunch of silly conservationist scientists who have their own agenda about as much as I trust Bush... in other words, I dont really think that the President would do that. I more think that these scientists are nutballs. Additionally, if they were in fact changed, why are we so quick to blame Bush instead of blaming someone in his administration who could have done this without Bush knowing. But, America needs a good scapegoat so it might as well be Bush.

Naturally, I don't think Bush changed these documents himself. He lacks the expertise and the time to be concerned with such things. However, I am sure that someone high up in the administration, congress, etc had a hand in it. Being a scapegoat is part of the presidency. Presidents have virtually NO control over the economy. Yet, they get blamed or credited for a good economy. Classic example is president Clinton taking the credit for the booming economy of the mid to later 90's. In reality, he had virtually no control or impact on the economy himself.

I just have major beef blaming every problem in this country on Bush. Our govt has a lot of corrupt people. Just because Bush is the President doesnt mean he is the ring leader/ mob boss/ master magician

You are right, however the president is assumed to be the most powerful political figure in America, if not the world. Plus, presidents have a lot more power then they had say fifty years ago. Presidents practically set the agenda for congress, send plans for the annual U.S. budget, send the military anyone in the world with the stroke of a pen, and ultimately destroy the world with Nuclear weapons (the president and the president alone has this ultimate power). He is both the ceremonial and political leader of the United States. He is the queen and prime minister of england wrapped up in one happy partisan box.

He's just making science say what he wants it to say. right, and these scientists just took the millions of dollars in grant money and wasted years of research time instead of trying to expose what they were allegedly asked to do. they're total fucking hypocrites. it's like complaining your food was gross after you ate everything. |

No, millions of dollars of research money was wasted because of propaganda purposes IE the white house

i don't see how getting rid of the words "global warming" is propaganda. there are a lot of terms that are not in common usage today that were 40 years ago.
some people believe we're just in a mild part of an ice age, as melting and re-freezing of the planet has happened countless times in the past. |

I think we are worrying ourselves WAY too much. Yeah, we need to treat our planet better, but man this is getting out of hand with the fighting back and forth over global warming and the ozone layer |

uh i think it should be way more of a priority then it is. its no longer about how our grandchildren's lives will be its affecting our own. in 20 years i dont want my water bill to be 100bucks a month and people syphoning my gas in the middle of the night. not to mention its getting too hot already and the crazy changing extreme weather isnt fun
