Don't you remember all the stories a few years back about how the Bush admin was censoring and changing the scientific documents about global warming? Well I'm not surprised it's happening again. Are you?
OK I guess you need more news stories on this particular science censorship.
Here they are.

Cheney wanted cuts in climate testimony
By H. JOSEF HEBERT – 8 hours ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Dick Cheney's office pushed for major deletions in congressional testimony on the public health consequences of climate change, fearing the presentation by a leading health official might make it harder to avoid regulating greenhouse gases, a former EPA officials maintains.
When six pages were cut from testimony on climate change and public health by the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last October, the White House insisted the changes were made because of reservations raised by White House advisers about the accuracy of the science.
But Jason K. Burnett, until last month the senior adviser on climate change to Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Stephen Johnson, says that Cheney's office was deeply involved in getting nearly half of the CDC's original draft testimony removed.
"The Council on Environmental Quality and the office of the vice president were seeking deletions to the CDC testimony (concerning) ... any discussions of the human health consequences of climate change," Burnett has told the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee.

To deny Cheney masterminded this, after the Bush admin's already been caught censoring science, is like denying I'm a Bush basher. LOL!!!!!
