Obama and team refuse to face facts
The White House on Monday made exceptionally clear that it wants nothing to do with the furor over documents that global warming skeptics say prove the phenomenon is not a threat.
Despite the incident,which rocked international headlines last week,climate science is sound,Press Secretary Robert Gibbs stressed this afternoon,and the White House nonetheless believes "climate change is happening."
"I don’t think that’s anything that is,quite frankly,among most people,in dispute anymore,"he said during Monday’s press briefing.
Climate change skeptics have asserted over the past week that the publication of more than 1,000 private e-mails and documents once housed in the University of East Anglia’s computer system refutes most modern global warming evidence.
