White House Muzzles CDC Chief on Climate Health Impacts
The White House significantly edited testimony prepared for a Senate hearing on the impact of climate change on health, deleting key portions citing diseases that could flourish in a warmer climate.
A draft of the testimony submitted for White House review shows that six pages of details about specific disease and other health problems that might flourish if the Earth warms were not delivered at the hearing.

Cooney
PBS reports that it was Philip Cooney, former energy industry lobbyist, on behalf of the White House, who was making these changes to this report about the health effects of climate change.

DeSmogBlog has reported on "denier Cooney" before [March 20, 2007] - eg. http://tinyurl.com/2ctlav
Cooney had resigned as chief of staff of the White House Council on Environmental Quality in June 2007. I guess he is keeping in touch though...
The denial goes on and on, it is just stunning that it does, even at this late stage. Emissions keep rising too.
