The picture quality is lousy but at 60 Minutes finally has a way to watch their stories after they air. (The video should show up on the right side.)
This episode on the environment and how the Bush Administration hired an oil company lobbyist to censor environmental science reports is something you should watch and know about. Very disturbing.
Rewriting The Science
March 19, 2006
(CBS) As a government scientist, James Hansen is taking a risk. He says there are things the White House doesn't want you to hear but he's going to say them anyway.
Hansen is arguably the world's leading researcher on global warming. He's the head of NASA's top institute studying the climate. But this imminent scientist tells correspondent Scott Pelley that the Bush administration is restricting who he can talk to and editing what he can say. Politicians, he says, are rewriting the science.
