US museum toned down global warming exhibit to please officials

The Smithsonian museum institute in Washington toned-down and delayed an exhibit on global warming it feared would displease Congress and the White House, a former museum director said.

The Smithsonian Institute, which organizes 18 museums in the US capital, receives 70 percent of its funds from the government, apparently making it sensitive to official policies and guidelines.

It was in this frame of mind that the institute decided to postpone the opening of the global warming exhibit, said Robert Sullivan, who six months ago stepped down as associate director for public programs at the National Museum of Natural History.

"It was to soften the exhibition, tone it down a little and make the science a little less certain, make it a little more cautious," he told AFP.

"There was a concern that this was a controversial topic."

Sullivan said the Arctic exhibit was canceled just before it was due to open and the project was put on hold for six months as museum officials altered its content.

"...to make the science a little less certain".

And this is exactly why, EXACTLY WHY you can't trust NIST and other 'government funded' "investigations" of 9/11. They're not going to bite the hand that feeds them.

The most baffling thing of all is all these "Libertarians" that are following the Exxon/Mobil/Bush/Limbaugh line on Global Warming. They have the Constitution idea correct, but not the humanist idea.

They have literally turned Al Gore into The Devil himself, worse than GW Bush.

And that about sums it up......

Libertarians and Right Wingers........No government and corporations controlling everything, with no pollution regulations

Fundamentalists..........End of World and burning grass, Apocalypse

Left Wingers...........Government controls everything

How about a government by the people and for the people, and corporations being Green and friendly?

If a person wants to study Jesus, than perhaps they should do three things:

1) Realize that Jesus was an Essene/Gnostic/Environmentalist/Peacenik

2) Try to integrate modern science and technology to ancient peaceful beliefs

3) Keep unproven theories out of politics

Libertarians and Right Wingers........No government and corporations controlling everything, with no pollution regulations

And what they don't understand is that this laissez faire approach has allowed these monopolizing, unregulated, out of control Enron/Exxon corporations to actually become the government. What good is the “small government” mantra if the power is merely shifted over to the lobbyists and crooked executives of multi-national companies that would sell their own mothers down a polluted river for an extra buck?

And if the Libertarians think they are "The Constitutionalists", they they should realize that it says "By the People and for the People", and not "By the Corporations, and for the Corporations"

It’s sad that a single, power hungry CEO of one corporation can override the votes of a hundred thousand tax paying citizens influence wise. Why? Just because of the thickness of his wallet and power of his bank account. And that’s not even considering vote tampering which spreads the ratio apart even further.

This is not a democracy, it’s an aristocracy.
