"Ignorance is Strength"- Bush Administration Enviormental Policy

It has been reported that Philip A. Cooney, chief of staff for the White House Council on Environmental Quality has consistently revised government climate reports to downplay the human caused contributers to global warming. Why would Mr Cooney do that? Well, maybe it has something to do with the job he had before Bush appointed him: "'climate team leader' and a lobbyist at the American Petroleum Institute, the largest trade group representing the interests of the oil industry." Well maybe he's knowledgeable and interprets the evidence differently with his knowledge. Maybe not, he's a lawyer with no scientific training. Maybe Bush feels that we need to find out more about Global Warming before acting because his staff keeps all those uncomfortable facts away from him...
