Thanks ABC.

If only you had shown this sort of interest in the truth in the lead-up to the current Iraq War.

Oh right, back then questioning BushCo wasn't easy.

So thanks for jumping on the bandwagon.

Very brave.

This should surprise NO ONE! Remember the 60 Minutes story last year that actually showed the report on global warming the scientists gave to the WH and then the doctored report that the WH released. A WH watchdog was actually sitting behind the camera while the scientist told the story on camera. He was stifled as to how much he could say on camera. I was so surprised that more people weren't horrified about that. And its perfectly clear why the adminstration would do this...they don't care one iota about this country or this planet. They are OIL MEN who serve one master: BIG OIL! Follow the money...it works every time.

Bush lied about Iraq and he lied about the environment. What else has he lied about?

Good report Justin. ABC made a smart move adding you, though TPM is hitting on all cylinders these days also. I guess there's room for even more investigative reporting. Keep it up!

Just impeach the president now, we can't wait for someone with a brain, and throw the vp in jail while your at it.

I guess this is another example of "restoring integrity" to the White House.

ExxonMobil earned FORTY BILLION DOLLARS last year, more than ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS per day profit. Then, we give Big Oil billions for energy alternative research. Hmmm, kind of like giving the fox money to research how to protect the chicken shack.
Cue the Cheney smirk.

What do you expect from an administration whose expert on global warming is Michael Crichton?

Have you looked into what this group is all about? And maybe check out the auther. He is a radical environmentalist

God bless it, absolutely the most corrupt group of individuals ever born on this continent! I hope History writes them this way...These people are enemies of the very spirit of freedom from which this country's ideals were based upon.
The U.S. founders looked to Cassius and Brutus as men who stood up for their constitution, although I don't agree with their methods...the resounding message was clear...no man or group of men were ever above the law of land.
What statesman will stand up for us? To whom shall we cast our votes?

Where was ABC and the rest of the media in 2003?

George has been given a free ride.

It is time it stopped.

Ok.
Now do we have something worth moving ahead with impeachment?

Bravo! News reporting done correctly. Watch the bush propaganda machine work overtime to condemn this report. The current White House has no shame and there is no limit to the depths they will go to smear and insult anyone who questions or challenges their agenda.

If this were real news it would not be on the blotter neo-jounalism page.

Man, now if we only knew what the special scientific updates were...better yet, give us the ability to find that research. Way to go news reporters, acting just like perfect Democrats.

We, the people, have realized this a long time ago. The Bush administration is corrupt in everything it touches. Will ABC actually reflect the people's view that disagree with Bush or continue to cater to the 30% that still believe him?

I hope your continued investigation will follow the money trail. Who offered funds to generate research that would refute objective research into global climate change? If not the White House, then some politically connected so called think tanks dependent on funding through the White House. How sad to think the future health of our planet and our culture is being sold out by this administration.

They're hiding everything because they can't handle the truth about themselves.

Too bad! We know!

Deniers are starting to look as legitimate as the "Flat-Earth Society" folks. I always wonder why Bush would not embrace climate change and interpret this as "End Times"- must be $$$ talking.

I'm very suprised. Really.

I guess I will end my boycott of ABC. Investigative reporting!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought it was a thing of the past when they got rid of Dan Rather, and all the media is working so hard to imitate phoney Fox propaganda network.

L

Good job! Keep up the muckraking to maintain your credibility as journalists. As the DOJ situation unravels, it confirms that many of the WH staffers and political appointees at the various departments and agencies are planted political activists, educated at right wing fundamentalist colleges & institutions, with political and fundamentalist missions and hidden agendas.

Now that you nailed the Bush
propaganda effort see if your report gets on mainstream TV news
programs. It's bad enough that the
Bush Junta suppresses the facts
but it's even worse when the
corporate suits in the news divisions do the same instead of
exposing the facts.

Three words: "Impeachment and Removal."

ITS OBVIOUS WHY THE WHITE HOUSE WOULD REFUTE THE TRUTH ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING, BECAUSE ITS THE BIG COMPANIES WHO ARE DOING THE MOST DAMAGE IN REGARDS TO THE GREEN HOUSE AFFECT THAT BUSH AND HIS ADMIN BUDDIES HAVE THE BIGGEST INVESTMENTS WITH. AND FOR THEM TO MAKE LAWS REDUCING THE GREEN HOUSE GAS EFFECTS FROM THE OIL INDUSTRY GM, OTHER DEALERSHIPS, THEY WOULD LOSE ! BUT WHO CARES THERE STINKING RICH I DONT SEE WHY THEY FEEL TO BE EVEN MORE GREEDIER, HELL WHAT GOOD IS IT TO HORDE ALL THE MONEY IN SWINDILLING WE THE PEOPLE WHEN THIER FUTURE GENERATION AND OURS WONT BE AROUND MUCH LONGER TO SHARE IN THE MILLIONS THEY RAISED, O AND ABC U STAY ON THE STORY WE NEEDED THAT

ABC regurgitates the "non-profit" Government Accountability Project's report that "charges..." just in time for Dem hearings. Please.

Non-profit is one label the media trots out that is supposed to connote objective - yea right.

Interesting headline and lead paragraph. "Bush administration officials.... have engaged in....".

Jump to paragraph twelve. Report's author says there is no evidence of a single coordinated effort to block credible climate science.

This is "good reporting"? Compared to what? It's a sensationalist, misleading headline that is negated by the report's author himself. What BS.

Then of course, most wouldn't get that far. Too many are headline sound byte educated.

Small wonder that Congress and the media enjoy less "approval" ratings that the President himself.

Just go ahead and say it ABC,

George Bush, Big Oil, Big Business, and Republicans -

Hate the Earth.

No civil servant has any business talking to the press except and unless they are requested by the public affairs office or the policy makers in that agency and they are expected to reiterate the policy of the agency. That's the way it is in the Bush administration, the Clinton administration and every administration before that. The fact that ABC apparently cannot understand simple direct procedures like this which have been going on for decades is a clear indication that they are a bunch of dingalings who don't know diddley squat.

In terms of climate research there are facts, conclusions and beliefs. No one has blocked out facts by researchers and the problem is with the conclusions, beliefs and political behavior. In short, the earth is heated by the sun and CO2 traps heat and every body agrees on that and the appearance is that storms on the sun change cloud behavior which traps more heat than the earth gives up and reduces rain fall. Some scientists like Hansen at NASA believe the additional heat is caused only by CO2 and Hansen is a born again democrat who has attempted to use his beliefs to skewer the administration politically.

Cheney had his way again: just like he Lied to get the U.S. into Iraq, he has used his administrative levers to Lie about global warming.

But just as he has suffered a major failure in Iraq, he has also been a complete failure on holding back the facts on global warming.

Despite all of his efforts, the world has moved ahead despite the Administration. Not only have these guys not stopped the action to limit global warming pollution, they have lost all of their input into forming the actual policy.

Name one thing this administration HASN'T lied about!

My favorite thing about the dupes and useful idiots of the Washington press corps is in there traditional role as conduits for press releases by kook fringe leftist groups like the Government Accountability Project. Mr. Rood merely calls said group a "non-profit watchdog." Hahahahahahaha.

I saw this story a year or so ago. At that time, the actual reports were presented demonstrating the real text and then the edited texts in the reports. It was obvious even then how the asministration was changing the text to reflect doubt in the data or inject contradiction to it outright. This is appalling, like re-writing Darwin's theory on evolution to inject "Creationist" thought. We must purge the government with a total "ignorance cleansing".

And folks, it is reported 45% of global warming greenhouse gases are created by America's autos-AMERICA's autos. Whos's driving those??? Get out and ride a bike or walk, or take transit. YOU are creating the greenhouse gases, not "big oil". It is Americans who chose to drive big cars, longer distances even after the warnings in 1974 with the Arab Oil embargo, remember that? Kill your TV, kill your car.

YOU HAVE TO WONDER WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE (ADMINISTRATION) WOULD PUT UNCONTROLLED GREED OVER SURVIVAL OF THE PLANET. THESE GUYS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE CHRISTIANS. THEY ARE GODLESS, GREEDY BARBARIANS - IMMERSED IN IGNORANCE AND ABYSMAL SELFISHNESS. BUSH AND CHENEY'S GRANDCHILDREN WILL DETEST AND HATE THEM.

Ho hum.

More innuendo.

Probably most of the suppressed reports deal with toxics and pollution in general -- not carbon based human caused global warming.

Goldman Sachs, the whole bunch, are financing this panic in order to push through carbon trading markets.

After reading all the comments posted, I have come to this conclusion. A lot of smart peiple have stated the obvious. Bush and his cromies get money from BIG OIL! Anyone who posted comments in favor of the BUSHIES, and, trying to debunk GLOBAL WARMING must be getting PAID OFF by the BUSHIES! I just follow the money!

This is one more item to be added to the record. From phone jamming, to the USA's firing everything can be tied together. Solution RICO investigations of the RNC.

1. Note: Justin Rood did not work for ABC at the start of the Iraq war.

2. "No civil servant has any business talking to the press except and unless they are requested by the public affairs office or the policy makers in that agency and they are expected to reiterate the policy of the agency."

Republican bull. There is only a gag order on these scientists to hide the truth from the American people. We paid for this information and it belongs to us. I guess next the faschistocapitalist will privatize knowledge itself.

What exactly is a "radical environmentalist", spoken with the same scathing, hate-filled words I hear ad infinitem on the web, the cable shows, and some newspapers. I never hear anyone say, here are the reasons I disagree with liberals or environmentalists. I think they pick up the talking points which are slogans they can understand and rely on them for responses to any and all situations. We truly have become a nation that is so dumbed down we can be led by an idiot and just keep moving along behind the crowd.

I hope to see reporting like this once the Dems take over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cough cough...

Clearly the Bushies are way out of touch.

One stunning recent example is the attempted revisions to government publications (e.g. recent revisions of Grand Canyon materials) to deny geological history greater then the 5000 year period considered by a few zealots to be the biblical age of Earth.

Similar edits have eliminated references to the big bang in NASA literature to promote creationism.

In the 19th century there was a movement to legislate a non-transcendental (finite) value for the number pi. Good thing that failed...

When an administion wants to dump science, it is time to dump the administration...

The WH's solution to global warming...burn ethenol in your car. Gee, it produces green house gas too (CO2) but it will make Monsanto GM corn a high priced alternative to gasoline.
But wait there's more....we'll all have to buy new cars or conversions to burn the stuff...oh won't that make troubled GM and Ford happy. Now get out there, spend and enjoy the warm weather you dumb Americans!

About the ethanol... that's what we scientists call 'current carbon,' i.e. plants take up CO2, which is released when burned, but doesn't add a net amount of carbon... only 'fossil carbon,' i.e. coal and oil, adds a net amount. FYI. Now listen up, dittoheads: If we're wrong about global warming, we will all spend a bunch of money needlessly limiting CO2 emissions. But if YOU'RE WRONG, millions of square miles of land get flooded, and roughly a billion people die... to say nothing of mass species extinction. Oooh... tough call.

Lets all focus on the global warming political hot potato. Then we might not notice that the White House flushed entire EPA archive database down the memory hole.

The posters on this topic are SO right!

It's because of GWB that the temperature on Mars is rising.

It's because of BIG oil (except Occidental Petroleum, *OF COURSE*) that the temperature on the moon is rising.

It's so Obvious! I thank ya'll the spiritual enlightenment I have received.

Google Phillip Cooney. Years ago that Exxon WH "appointee" plant blacked out all the info on global warming from the scientific reports. Then when folks found out, he disappeared from the WH only to show up later as a new Exxon employee.

It saddens and amazes me that so many people let their political affiliations block their ability to see what is so clearly happening to our world. It doesn't take a genius to see that all the pollutants we put into the environment are killing our planet. Do they really think all that burn off from fossil fuels isn't doing any harm? Or that the runoff from pesticides isn't harming our oceans? Does it really matter whether it takes 50, 100 or 200 years to kill it? No matter the timetable, we should do something now, and that means getting any elected officials that tries to alter this truth out of public office, starting with the President.

Fine report Robin.... keep digging.... the motherlode is within reach.

If this is a repeat my apologies.... my PC hung

While your googling, look up "Al Gore" and "Occidental Petroleum"

Let me tell you something...man-made "global warming" is a myth perpetrated by a mass hysteria born of ignorance! The earth's climate is always changing...we've had ice ages as well as periods where the entire planet was covered by tropical forests. The truth be told, temperatures have actually fallen by .037 degrees Celsius over the past 18 years.

Do you recall that in in the late 60s and 70s there was a ruckus about "global cooling"? It was a frenzied attack on our way of life then too. We were told that if we don't change we were going to wind up living in ice! Well, that turned out to be a bunch of hooey...just like the current hysteria is.

Last point I want to make...do you remember all the hulabaloo about the ever growing "ozone hole"? Al Gore told the Senate that the ozone hole was getting bigger and bigger and that we needed to abolish cloroflorocarbons (CFCs) of which a wonderful refrigerant called freon was targeted as a major contributor to these CFCs threatening to enlarge the ozone hole. Gore got freon banned, along with a host of other products and we were forced to pay DuPont exorbitant prices for their replacement for the now banned freon. Well, guess what? The ozone hole got bigger after banning the CFCs...How does Al Gore explain that? He doesn't...he simply ignores it and moves on to this baloney called man-made "global warming".

And no, I'm not pro business or being paid by anyone...I'm probably poorer than most of you.

Is the firing of Mark Albright newsworthy?
