Liberals Charge Harper with Censorship, Shutting Down Climate Website

onJul 28, 2006 @ 06:51 PDT

Canadian liberals have charged Prime Minister Harper with following the lead of U.S. climate skeptics by censoring researchers and shutting down the government’s main climate-information website. They charge Harper’s “Made in Canada” climate policy is a sham designed to cover up what they call an “Orwellian” campaign to suppress the truth about climate change. Harper’s actions follow by about a month a meeting with Frank Luntz, the American spin srategist who counseled President Bush to “keep the public confusted” about the state of climate science.
