Re: [Phys-l] Censorship of science by politicians



As illustrated by the simply wild-eyed speculation that Galveston Bay wouldn't have been there during the last ice age when sea levels were at least 100 m lower than they are today, that human development has been allowed to fill and build on wetlands, etc.

In short, poppycock. With few if any exceptions, the article was censored each time the author dared to suggest either 1) that sea levels have changed during past climate changes or 2) that humans have had or could have an adverse effect on anything.

The political appointees are censoring an official report to conform to the
conservative anti-global warming position.
