Bush Hates Science

According to the journal Nature, the Bush administration blocked a NOAA study that showed Global Warming strengthens hurricanes.

Nice!


NOAA Administrator Conrad Lautenbacher is currently out of the country, but Nature quoted him as saying the report was merely an internal document and could not be released because the agency could not take an official position on the issue.

However, the journal said in its online report that the study was merely a discussion of the current state of hurricane science and did not contain any policy or position statements.


Translation: The truth can only be released if it has been vetted to be shown to support the administration's policies of welfare for oil companies and hating science. It must be nice to be so sure that the apocalypse is coming soon so that you don't have to worry about the future of the planet.
