From one of the press briefings:
But no administration in American history, and none on the face of the Earth, has been more aggressive in trying to do sound science on [global warming] than this administration.
Those of us who know what "sound science" actually means couldn't agree more.
P.S.: Matt Nisbet has a fascinating post about why the IPCC report has failed to gain significant mass media coverage.
No significant mass media? The IPCC report has been in my RSS feeds every day for the past week in my news feeds from major media such as NY Times and CNN (the CNN site seems to have as many articles on it as the rest combined).
What coverage is it not getting? No TV coverage? I haven't watched TV news in years -- not worth my time.
not sure that was the best choice of words but read the nisbet post and you'll see
Walker's point is that people with critical thinking skills, provided they also have computers, have largely abandoned the news sources Nisbet is concerned to find lacking in news on AR4.
