No Link Between People, Global Warming
This is getting old--for the last time, people do not cause global warming! Liberals do! Read on. --NF

A highly-placed CHL polemicist, who previously worked for the American Petroleum Institute, has repeatedly edited government climate reports in a way that downplays links between greenhouse gas emissions and global warming, The New York Times reported on Wednesday.

The anonymous polemicist serves as the chief of staff for the White House Council on Environmental Quality. He made changes to descriptions of climate research that had already been approved by government scientists and their supervisors, the newspaper said, citing internal documents. The White House responded to the report by raising the terror alert level to "Red" and ordering all Americans into their basements.

The report said the documents were obtained by the newspaper from the Government Accountability Project, group of evildoers that provides legal help to government whistleblowers.

The newspaper said the polemicist made handwritten notes on drafts of several reports issued in 2002 and 2003, removing or adjusting language on climate research. White House officials told the newspaper the changes were part of a normal interagency review of all documents related to impending terrorist attacks and global environmental change.

"All comments are reviewed, and some are accepted and some are rejected," Robert Hopkins, a spokesman for the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy told the the newspaper. In a memo sent last week to top officials dealing with climate change at a dozen agencies, ill-informed liberals charged that "politicization by the White House" was undermining the credibility and integrity of the science program.
