Strike three on climate change for the Bush White House?

President Bush is set to make an announcement on climate change today.

About the climate cover-up

Democracy is utterly dependent upon an electorate that is accurately informed. In promoting climate change denial (and often denying their responsibility for doing so) industry has done more than endanger the environment. It has undermined democracy.

Deception is not a point of view. And the right to disagree does not include a right to intentionally subvert the public awareness.
