GAP Report Details Climate Science Politicization House Hearing Set for Tomorrow; Report Analyzes Scientific Agency Media Policies and Practices
(Washington, D.C.) – Today, the Government Accountability Project (GAP) is releasing a comprehensive report detailing the findings of a year-long investigation into political interference at federal climate science agencies. The report demonstrates how policies and practices have increasingly restricted the flow of scientific information emerging from publicly-funded climate change research. This has negatively affected the media’s ability to report objectively on scientific issues, public officials’ capacity to respond with appropriate policies, and full public understanding of environmental concerns.
The report, entitled Redacting the Science of Climate Change, is available on GAP’s Web site here.
