Suppression. Distortion. Undermining.
Ahh, the good ol’ Bush Administration and their slanted view of science. Some of you may recall back in February of this year when 62 big-name scientists joined together as the Union of Concerned Scientists to call for the Bush Administration to stop misrepresenting and suppressing scientific knowledge for political purposes.
Well, here’s a shocker for you, Bush and his cronies have continued to ignore or suppress any sort of data that would interfere with them making money or that would conflict with their religious beliefs. In response, the number of scientists in the UCS has now ballooned to over 4,000 – a number that includes 48 Nobel laureates, 62 National Medal of Science recipients, 127 members of the National Academy of Sciences and former senior advisers to administrations of both parties. This influx of new members has unearthed even more examples of scientific abuse by the Bush Administration. How is it that this man is not being impeached at this very moment?
