Major tweaks
From the New York Times:
Philip A. Cooney, the chief of staff to President Bush’s Council on Environmental Quality, resigned yesterday, White House officials said.Mr. Cooney’s resignation came two days after documents revealed that he had repeatedly edited government climate reports in ways that cast doubt on the link between building greenhouse-gas emissions and rising temperatures …. [a spokeswoman] said the decision was unrelated to revelations about the documents.
I find the idea that Mr. Cooney’s resignation was unrelated to his so-called editing of climate reports completely ridiculous entirely plausible. I’m sure he just wants to spend more time with his family. Who doesn’t? And it’s outrageous understandable that a lawyer rather than a scientist would be chief of staff to President Bush’s Council on Environmental Quality. It all makes you want to beat your head against a wall until you pass out perfect sense.
