My latest DeSmogBlog post is inspired by Bush administration climate whistleblower Rick Piltz's recent comments before the committee devoted to preparing the next National Assessment:
This report will be attacked. There is no way to bullet-proof it against that war on science – that’s a myth. They’ll look for procedural missteps, they’ll look for anything, they’ll invent something if they need to.
Piltz is absolutely right about this, and in my post, I explain in much more detail why--and the implications for how to deal with controversial science in the public arena.
