Climate reports sent to the White House are highly edited before they are released to Congress and to the public. They are not edited by a scientist, they are edited by a lawyer—a former lobbyist for the oil companies.

This is part of a story that was aired this past Sunday evening. Clicky. Then click on "Play" just below "Rewriting the Science." They may throw a 30 second commercial at you, but hang in there. This excerpt from the report only lasts for three minutes, but it gives you the gist of the longer story.
