Democracy.org: Spitman Wolfie Censored Global Warming References at World Bank

New documents point to more Bush administration censorship on global warming. The Government Accountability Project has made public memos showing the administration routinely interfered with the World Bank’s limited efforts to address environmental issues. In one case, then-World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz personally intervened to remove the words “climate change” from the title of a bank report. Wolfowitz also ordered staffers to shift the focus of the text away from global warming.
