Groups Say Scientists Pressured On Warming (Dozens say Bush Ad. pressured them to play down threat)

The really ironic aspect of this whole claim is that the opposite is true. Those who dont drink the global warming coolaid are the ones who are silenced.

Exactly. Yet another example of misdirection by the liberals. The real fear of a "theocracy" comes from the religion of global warming.

Exactly. All the administration is trying to do is inject some balance by rightly pointing out that the science is not yet settled, and in fact new studies may show just the opposite -- changes in the sun's radiation are the overwhelming cause of climate change, not man. But the moonbats will have none of it -- if true it takes away their "blame America first" argument.

Hilarious.

CBS will never stop spewing the party line for the Dems, no matter how low their ratings go.

I don't think that is their plan. I think they want a Watergate redux. Force Cheney to resign based on his alleged invlovement in Libby's perjury. Elect a more acceptable Republican Veep (say Olympia Snow, Lincoln Chafee, or Arlen Specter). And then begin impeachment hearings on W.

or have another non binding symbolic resolution about it

[oceanview]

well, yes.

but the other thing that has happend here - total silence from the Republicans, for years, regarding the fantasy of global warming. Imagine how far we've come, the Kyoto treaty didn't even have a single vote in the senate some years ago, to where we are now - the last SOTU speech was essentially a capitulation to the left on this issue, simply by acknowledging it exists and its caused by man and we can really do something about it.

[Mr. K]

cheeze- I dont think I can take 2 years of this idiocy

AND YOU DUMASS REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS DESERVED TO LOSE FOR ACTING LIKE DEMOCRAPS

somone ask Newt Gingrich how to win an election, willya?

[DOGEY]

Does this mean that Senator Boxer, henceforth, will be returning to California during congressional recesses via wagon train?

No. Broom, as usual.

[Rakkasan1]

I'm more likely to be killed by Ninjas than global warming.

Anonymous complaints, anonymous or unnamed survey sources, presentation by an advocacy group. Yeah right, I'm gong to take this to the bank...

[Waco]

Shut-up you idiots! Leave it for a boobie-trap for Bin Laddie. Let him solve it after he takes over the world. (Which you seem to be all for by the way.)

Two private advocacy groups....

Union of Concerned Scientists:

Government Accountability Project:

[VeniVidiVici]

I'd like to know why there are 279 climate scientists on the government payroll.

[Fedora]

The report also was based on "firsthand experiences" described in interviews with the Government Accountability Project, which helps government whistleblowers, lawmakers were told.

GAP is yet another IPS spinoff, from the Church Committee era. It emerged from the same network as the Center for National Security Studies (CNSS) associated with Morton Halperin.

[westmichman]

Never been too big on unions. I think this is another one we could do without.

Because it takes that many different preditions for one of them to get it right.

[westmichman]

preditions=predictions... or maybe perditions.

[sergeantdave]

the Union of Concerned Scientists, a private advocacy group.

How about -

the Union Soviet Socialists, a Marxist front group.
