Enough to make your blood boil

I got the email Tuesday from the head of NOAA expounding on what a free and open organization NOAA is (mentioned in this free WSJ article: Statement Acknowledges Some Government Scientists See Link to Global Warming), and I was like, huh? That's sure not what all the top scientists who get asked for interviews say. And then in the article, the administration is saying that Tom Knutson was allowed to, and did, give some interviews -- that's true, we have an archive of them -- but 90% of them aired on the stupid Comcast local access cable channel, where no one sees them. It's the national coverage that might get someone's attention that gets turned down.

So, listen for those local experts on your local cable stations, because they might not be allowed to speak at the national level. You might be the only one who gets to hear them.

The thing is, the people I know weren't going to take any sort of radical position; they might've said something along the lines of, in their personal opinion, it's still an open question whether global warming is impacting the intensity of hurricanes.
