Yet another reason not to trust Bush

In case you were wondering how politics got mixed up with science on climate change, check out this bald-faced admission:

Phillip Cooney, former chief of staff at the White House Council on Environmental Quality, acknowledged at a House hearing that some of the changes he made were "to align these communications with the administration's stated policy" on climate change.

In other words, those lying sons of bitches manipulated the data to support Republican denial of global warming. Remember that the next time a Republican claims that global warming is just some weird Al Gore guilt trip.
