Summed up as follows:  The Bush Administration has “engaged in a systematic effort to manipulate climate change science and mislead policymakers and the public about the dangers of global warming.”

Highlights and key findings:

• The White House systematically minimized the significance of climate change by editing government climate change reports.
• The White House edited EPA’s [Environmental Protection Agency] Report on the Environment.
• The White House eliminated the Climate Change Section of EPA’s Air Trends Report.
• The White House was involved in editing EPA’s legal opinions.
