Beyond belief

NY Times today has an article about a climate scientist who is speaking out about attempts by the Administration to silence or curtail NASA scientists publicly speaking about the science of global warming.

All other lunacy aside, any time a governmental body wants to monitor scientists conversations with reporters on the issue of global warming then you know they have finally exceeded all bounds of reason. The right wing always wants to silence artists or at least push in the other direction of the liberal arts; but to try and attempt to influence discourse upon science against a majority consensus... I'm at a loss for words.

I was warned my first January in New York would be miserably cold. Thus far we've had thunderstorms and pleasant days.

At climate laboratories of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, for example, many scientists who routinely took calls from reporters five years ago can now do so only if the interview is approved by administration officials in Washington, and then only if a public affairs officer is present or on the phone.
