June 3, 2008 By SETH BORENSTEIN , AP Science Writer

(AP) -- NASA's press office "marginalized or mischaracterized" studies on global warming between 2004 and 2006, the agency's own internal watchdog concluded.

  Another false statement on this fallacy of global warning.
  Also, the link on the bottom of the article supposedly connecting to a NASA Internal Investigation is broken.

  You have got to be joking! The level of censorship against those scientists that question the "gospel" of global warming is far far higher than that against the global warming zealots.
  
  If you are a scientists who puts out an alarmist press release on Global warming you are absolutely swamped by the media. However, if you try to point out that there may be some genuine scientifc doubt, you are totally ignored.
  
  NASA does not have to block press access to global warming sceptics who work in their agencies for the simple reason that press is so biased on this issue that they do not even attempt get a balanced view on this debate.

  I suspect we're talking censoring about Hansen, NASA's tenured, rather crooked envirocrazy. This is the same Hansen who was peddling a new ice age back in the late 1970's and the same Hansen who... oops... peddled the last decade as the hottest in US history till he was caught fiddling the results.
  
  Hansen doesn't need censoring. He needs firing.

  Thanks for the info commentors! From the article I had no idea which way the censoring went, IE censoring the warming group/solar activity group/CO2 being good group...
  
  I can't wait for this carbon fad to end. There are more important things to worry about than an abundance of plantfood.

  It is all related to too many people - maybe the culling starts with these NASA clowns.

  It doesn't help that the funding is there. What would be interesting to see is; How much does NASA get for "evironmental studies", and what their books say they actually spent money on. I wouldn't be suprised if 90% of that money goes to pay the upper management.
