Bush Pressures Scientists to Lie About Global Warming

As if I didn’t need another reason to dislike my dear dear president, I hear yet another thing that makes me sick. I’m not surprised by it because he has shown that he has no concern for the important things in this world, but I’m disgusted none the less.

Yesterday, a news article came out discussing the “political interference in federal climate science.”

That message being: “We want to help, but we’re not God. We don’t plan on babysitting you for the rest of your duration while you have petty, disgusting, disturbing arguments over things that should not matter.”
