Senator James Inhofe

Senator James Inhofe expressed his disappointment with the Senate Environment and Public Works Full Committee on Tuesday. In his opening statement to the committee, Inhofe said he was disappointed that they were, once again, beginning deliberations on global warming in the wrong manner. The Oklahoma Republican accused the committee of trying to undermine the Bush administration by questioning the president's environmental judgment and alleged censorship concerning global warming.

Marc Morano is the communications director for the Senate Environment and Public Works Full Committee minority staff. "They brought a couple individuals forward – one of them being Jason Burnett, who was a major Democratic donor and his family has given to many Democratic causes. He's claiming that the White House has been involved in all sorts of, he used the word, 'censorship,'" Morano contends. "In reality, all administrations edit testimony; it's a non-issue."

To prove that point, Morano says Dr. Roy Spencer – a former NASA scientist and skeptic of man-made global warming – testified that the Clinton administration repeatedly censored him. "Even NASA's James Hansen, the oft quoted, you know, one the most prominent promoters of man-made climate fare, has said the Clinton-Gore administration pressured him to be even more alarmist, but he declined to do so," Morano explains.

Morano jokes that to be shocked that administrations engage in censorship is akin to one being shocked that gambling takes place in Vegas.

"Dr. Roy Spencer is talking about his new paper, which he will be submitting for peer review, detailing the fact that the United Nations Climate Panel has overestimated the sensitivity of the climate system to CO2. In other words, we're going to see nowhere near the warming predicted," Morano adds. "In fact Dr. Spencer went as far as to say he predicts lack of warming -- or cooling -- coming up. And he joins many other scientists who have actually said that. He didn't officially predict cooling, but he said, you know, we may have a continued lack of warming."

In addition to Dr. Spencer's testimony, Senator Inhofe pointed out that more and more scientists, along with peer-reviewed studies and analysis, are disproving computer climate models. Source
