White House Puts the Muzzle on CDC Testimony on Health Effects of Global Warming via It's Getting Hot In Here
The White House is at it again, censoring expert testimony on Global Warming. This time the Bush Administration cut out over half of Center for Disease Control Director Julie Gerberding’s Senate testimony on the public health effects of climate change.

Now, the two “bad boys of environmentalism” are back with a new book, Break Through: From the Death of Environmentalism to the Politics of Possibility and they’re making waves again with their provocative and arguably inflammatory style.
In my opinion, “The Death of Environmentalism” presented a crucially important and valid...
