More on Global Warming . . . Or Rather Less

As exposed previously within NASA, scientists in other federal agencies have been prevented or discouraged from speaking out about global warming.

Now, the Washington Post is reporting that "Employees and contractors working for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, along with a U.S. Geological Survey scientist working at an NOAA lab, said in interviews that over the past year administration officials have chastised them for speaking on policy questions; removed references to global warming from their reports, news releases and conference Web sites; investigated news leaks; and sometimes urged them to stop speaking to the media altogether."

The prevention of the free flow of information is antithetical to science as well as Democracy and therefore is a threat to both.
