Bush's Global Warming Coverup Uncovered

The cover for the Bush Mafia is finally falling off. Bush’s attempt to cover up his own EPA’s findings on Global Warming (GW) is revealed in Congressman Henry Waxman’s oversight of Bush pressuring his scientists to distort their findings. Bush edited the phrase “GW” out of reports to Congress. He refused to hand over subpoenaed documents from the EPA to Congressman Waxman, documents which show Bush’s “attempt to mislead the public by injecting doubt into the science of global warming and minimizing the potential dangers.”

White House policy on global warming was run by oil lobbyist Philip Cooney, who unilaterally deleted all mentions of global warming. Cooney came from the American Petroleum Institute, the largest oil lobby in the US; he headed the Council on Environmental Quality in the White House. He left the White House to work for Exxon Mobil. He perverted EPA finding on GW to fit Bush’s oilman contentions.

Bush and Congressman John T. Doolittle use science fiction writer Michael Crichton as their scientific authority to ignore GW. Over eight hundred of the world foremost climatologists have signed a document indicating GW is the world’s foremost problem. Bush continues to put the planet at risk.
