Promoting integrity in the use of climate science in government

“Low-Ball Warming: There should be a special circle in hell for people who mess with scientific data.”  In this article published by The American Prospect (20 June 2005), Chris Mooney writes about the resignation of Rick Piltz from the U.S. Climate Change Science Program.  “What hath Rick Piltz wrought? It’s too soon to tell, but there’s a new feeling in the air about global warming. It’s a sense that the Bush administration may finally be held to account, by the media and by Congress, for four years of obstruction and denial while a planetary problem steadily worsened.”
