Global Warming Oversite Hearing


I have no great insight on this subject. After all I'm only a computer geek, not an environmental scientist but wow are they raking this guy over the coals in a serious way. Check out the 14.5 minute long (approx) video.

I've heard of these mysterious edits to the EPA Report on Climate Change but didn't realize there were any over site hearings going on. It's good to see our government starting to get back on it's feet with some accountability, at least on some subjects. Oddly enough, this stuff seems to have started happening when the Democrats took the majority in the House and Senate in November. This is the sort of thing that should happen regardless of the political party.

A quick search for the phrase "global warming report edits" seems to come up with a slew of hits on the subject. Now, I haven't done extensive reading on the it having gotten most of my news from NPR or Democracy Now. Still, my hunch is that this doctoring of information is happening and that it's not exactly a new concept. Especially by this already proven untrustworthy administration that we have. But, obviously, that is just my opinion for whatever it is worth.

I think this will be an interesting story to follow. Who needs soap operas when you have this sort of thing to watch!
