Welcome to the White House, Brought to You by the Petroleum Institute

Global warming what a hot topic these days. The Bush administration continuing its trend of "policy for sale" employs a former American Petroleum Institute lobbyist as a science advisor on Global Warming. According to the NY Times "Before going to the White House in 2001, he was the "climate team leader" and a lobbyist at the American Petroleum Institute, the largest trade group representing the interests of the oil industry. A lawyer with a bachelor's degree in economics, he has no scientific training."

It's good to see that the difficult scientific issues surrounding Global Warming are being objective personnel.
