New Commerce Department Media Policy Fails to Protect Scientists from Political Interference, Groups Say
From the Union of Concerned Scientists:
A recently revised Commerce Department media policy is not strong enough to curb political interference in climate science at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), according to the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) and the Government Accountability Project (GAP). The two groups today sent a letter urging Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez to address specific shortcomings before the policy goes into effect on May 14.
