White House Environmental Chief Cooney Watered Down Climate Reports
* White House Environmental Chief Cooney Watered Down Climate Reports *
The New York Times reported that a White House official who once led the oil
industry's fight against limits on greenhouse gases has repeatedly edited
government climate reports in ways that play down links between such
emissions and global warming. The official -- Philip Cooney -- is chief of
staff for the White House Council on Environmental Quality. Before coming to
the White House in 2001, he was a lobbyist at the American Petroleum
Institute. We speak with Greenpeace and the Sierra Club.
