WHITE HOUSE NOT PROVIDING CLIMATE CHANGE DOCUMENTS TO OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE

From the daily email from Center for American Progress Action Fund

ADMINISTRATION -- WHITE HOUSE NOT PROVIDING CLIMATE CHANGE DOCUMENTS TO OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE: Today, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee will hold a hearing to investigate "political interference in the work of government climate change scientists." In the days leading up to the hearing, the committee requested "more than three dozen documents" from the White House Council on Environmental Quality "related to their climate programs." As of late last night, the "documents that were requested as recently as last week and as far back as six months ago had not been provided to the committee," CongressDaily reports. "We're still trying to get them and not happy about it," a spokesman for Rep. Thomas Davis (R-VA) said. The Union of Concerned Scientists and the Government Accountability Project said they would present "new evidence of suppression and manipulation of climate science" before the committee. Drew Shindell of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies will testify about a "now-defunct 2004 requirement that NASA press officers listened in whenever NASA scientists spoke with reporters, either on the telephone or in person." Rick Piltz, who resigned in 2005 from the U.S. Climate Change Science Program will speak about White House interference with climate change reports and "questionable reviews of scientific research."

They see that we don't have the guts to impeach them.

Is the destruction of EPA libraries and documents. That is valid research that the taxpayer of the USA paid for, and I can't understand why the outcry isn't sending the administration scurrying. More proof that the USA isn't really a democracy, I suppose......

of the information and the libraries?

Earth which might provide clues to where valuable minerals lie? I mean, think of the edge that Bush's corporate buddies would have if they could buy up the land before the public even realized what lies below?

3 branches of government.

non binding resolutions and hearings with no consequences. It's a big DUH, no shit.
