“And besides the Waxman and UCS reports, there are still other
analyses documenting the Bush administration's abuses of science. For
example, consider www.scienceinpolicy.org, a Web site that focuses exclusively
on the environmental arena. The site details distortions and misrepresentations
on issues ranging from climate change to debates on drilling in the
Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Along with policy analyses, it contains
the following statement:
“The Bush administration justifies environmental policies by
misusing and misrepresenting science. The administration's harmful positions
on climate change, pollution, forest management, and resource extraction
ignore widely accepted scientific evidence. When the administration
invokes science, it relies on research at odds with the scientific consensus,
and contradicts, undermines, or suppresses the research of its own scientists.
Furthermore, the administration cloaks environmentally damaging policies
under misleading program names like "clear skies" and "healthy
forests." As a result, the public and the media often wrongly believe
that this administration uses sound science to help promote a healthy
environment. In reality, the best available science indicates that President
Bush's policies will cause and exacerbate damage to the natural systems
on which we all depend.”
