Exhibit A

With Administration officials currently in the hot seat, facing (old) allegations of tampering with climate science, pressuring scientists and redacting reports according to their own political agenda, we thought we'd highlight this Decoder item (See No Evil) that appeared in Sierra magazine last January. The documents show how one Philip Cooney, then chief of staff for the White House Council on Environmental Quality, now of ExxonMobil, had his way with reports from the U.S. Climate Change Science Program, wielding his red pencil like a razor blade. It was not long after this slash-job that Cooney -- a lawyer, not a scientist -- took his lucrative position with the denialist oil giant.
