IOWA CITY, Iowa - The Bush administration is trying to stifle scientific evidence of the dangers of global warming in an effort to keep the public uninformed, a NASA scientist said Tuesday night.

“In my more than three decades in government, I have never seen anything approaching the degree to which information flow from scientists to the public has been screened and controlled as it is now,” James Hansen told a University of Iowa audience.

Hansen said he was speaking as a private citizen, not as a government employee, and paid his own way for the Iowa appearance. He described himself as moderately conservative, but said he will vote for John Kerry in the presidential election.

“He certainly is not in denial of the existence of climate change problems,” Hansen said.

1. bush spin:

"We reject these ludicrous NASA claims. In fact, 'Global Warming' is stifling the American way of life!"

reporter: "So, we should, like, maybe try to get rid of this 'Global Warming" thing right, so we can get back to driving our Hummer H2's, right?"

Bush spin: "What was the question, it was about security wasn't it?"
