Concerned Scientists Report
The Union of Concerned Scientists has released the report of their investigations into the multiple abuses of science by the Bush administration.
"A growing number of scientists, policy makers, and technical specialists both inside and outside the government allege that the Bush administration has suppressed or distorted the scientific analyses of federal agencies to bring these results in line with administration policy. In addition, these experts contend that irregularities in the appointment of scientific advisors and advisory panels are threatening to upset the legally mandated balance of these bodies."
Thousands of scientists have called for an end to these practices, including 48 Nobel Laureates and 62 National Medal of Science recipients.
Refusing to see the data doesn’t make it less accurate. Misrepresenting and suppressing scientific knowledge for political purposes can have serious consequences for us all.
