But if you add a new variable, global warming, on top of those
other two causes, then you get a more complete answer.
So the NHC won't go down that road since it leads to
somewhere their political leaders wish to avoid.

And the Bush administration has a long, well-established history of
firing scientists and administrators who don't say exactly what they are
told to say (or don't refrain from saying what they are told not to say).

I don't blame the folks at the NHC; I blame the evil *******s trying to
suppress science and spread mistruth with an iron fist. I know what:
let's teach intelligent design while we're at it, too! Then people will
grow up really misunderstanding even the basics of science, and we'll be
able to pull the wool over their eyes much more effectively down the
road. Nothing like an ignorant population to swallow whatever BS their
leaders feed them, to keep those leaders in power.
