Smithsonian Toned Down Exhibit on Climate Change
An AP newswire article by Brett Zongker, via USA Today, reports that:
The Smithsonian Institution toned down an exhibit on climate change in the Arctic for fear of angering Congress and the Bush administration, says a former administrator at the museum.More here.
Among other things, the script, or official text, of last year's exhibit was rewritten to minimize and inject more uncertainty into the relationship between global warming and humans, said Robert Sullivan, who was associate director in charge of exhibitions at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History.
Also, officials omitted scientists' interpretation of some research and let visitors draw their own conclusions from the data, he said. In addition, graphs were altered "to show that global warming could go either way," Sullivan said.

Isn't it odd that "Climate Change" has become so politicized like HIV? HIV is an unfortunate disease, but there are so many other maladies that affect more than AIDS. Climate Change is STILL not based on hard science. So you have to ask, why? Perhaps there's BIG money is scaring people using politicized stories like this? Follow the money.
In the meantime, read this great article about climate change on Neptune at http://www.globalwarming.org. A real eye opener...
