Censoring science : inside the political attack on Dr. James Hansen and the truth of global warming

The dramatic story of global warming, politics, and the scientist Al Gore calls 'the most powerful and consistent voice calling for intelligent action to preserve our planet's environment.' Censoring Science is the gripping story of the world's preeminent climatologist, Dr. James Hansen, the 'pivotal character in the greatest and most politically charged science story of our time' (New Scientist). NASA's leading climate expert, Dr. Hansen, first broke the international news on global warming at a Senate hearing in 1988. Little did he expect the rising storm of politically motivated resistance, denial, and obstruction. Revealing the extent of the Bush administration's censorship of Dr. Hansen's findings, Censoring Science sets the record straight with solid scientific facts such as: the eight hottest years on record have occurred in the last decade, and ice is melting at record rates all around the planet. Dr. Hansen shows how we can still prevent environmental disaster if the country and the government are willing to face the truth about global warming.

  • "From acclaimed writer and physicist Mark Bowen, Censoring Science tells the true story of the Bush administration's censorship of the world's preeminent climatologist, and the science behind global warming that they do not want you to know. The fact's don't lie. Preeminent climatologist and leading NASA scientist Dr. James Hansen has been studying climate for over three decades. It was his testimony to a Senate committee in 1988 that first brought the threat of global warming to the world's attention. In January 2006, news broke that the Bush administration had been attempting to censor Dr. Hansen, obscuring his message and supressing the vast body of his scientific work."@en

  • "Dr. James Hansen--leading climate expert for NASA and the world--first broke the international news on global warming at a Senate hearing in 1988. Little did he expect the rising storm of politically motivated resistance, denial, and obstruction that would follow. Censoring Science delivers the facts behind global warming and the political fight that has surrounded it since the beginning. The eight hottest years on record have occurred in the last decade, and the record for ice melt in the Arctic was broken in 2005 and 2006, and again in 2007. There is now less ice in the polar regions than we have ever known, and the rate of decline is increasing. Meanwhile, NASA's mission "to understand and protect our home planet" has been canceled by the Bush administration, and the most important science experiments being conducted today on global climate are being gutted by NASA budget cuts. Censoring Science sets the record straight and reveals the extent of the Bush administration's censorship of Dr. Hansen's findings, while showing how we can still prevent irreversible environmental disaster--if the country and the government are willing to face the truth about global warming."@en
