<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Henry Waxman weighs in on Bush admin. efforts to suppress climate science]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by stevenearlsalmony http://www.grist.org/article/tampering-with-the-science/ Tue, 11 Dec 2007 02:10:41 -0800 http://www.grist.org/article/tampering-with-the-science/1 Economic growth first , last and always..........

nothing else except endless, unsustainable economic growth suits the rich and powerful among us, I suppose.

It seems like only yesterday the prevailing view was global warming was a hoax, as ideological groups maliciously mislead the public by discrediting good science, by adamantly spreading uncertainty and relentlessly manufacturing controversy where none objectively existed, all for the purpose of supporting the selfish interests of the wealthy and powerful as well as promoting the specious idea that the global economy can grow infinitely in a finite world............ without damaging the Earth's ecosystems or dissipating our planetary home's limited resources. A hoax has surely been fradulently perpetrated on the public, but not the one we have been hearing about for 30 years.

The tampering with science we are noticing now is only the very latest iteration in an ongoing effort, both in government and big corporations, to halt the acknowledgement of virtual mountains of evidence, reasoning and common sense regarding the good science of climate change.

One question, if you please:  Who are the actual peddlers of junk science with regard to global warming? I imagine these deceivers are getting easier to identify.

Any group can be accused of that.  Everyone has their own views and gleans the facts for what will support their position.
