More Reports of White House Manipulation of Science
Once again members of the Bush administration have been caught altering scientific reports. A former oil and gas industry lobbyist, Philip Cooney, who worked as chief of staff to the president's environmental policy council, repeatedly revised federal reports in an effort to downplay the seriousness of global warming, according to the New York Times. The newspaper obtained documents showing edits made by Cooney, a lawyer with no scientific background. Following the Times report, Cooney resigned his position in the administration saying that he wanted to spend more time with his family. But within a week of the resignation, he took a job with the ExxonMobil Corporation. Exxon is one of the few major corporations that still questions the science behind global warming studies.
