Top-Down Government Campaign to Suppress Climate Change Research

It’s been brutally clear that the current Administration is anti-science and proud of it.

I expect this smoking-gun report from, The Government Accountability Project, a DC watchdog group, will only be one of too too many to come out over the next 5 or so years.

The Government Accountability Project, a whistleblower and watchdog group in DC, released a report (.pdf) today detailing a top-down government campaign to suppress climate change research that deviated from policy positions within the Bush administration. In particular, the administration tried to bury research that showed human activity contributes to global warming and stronger storms.
