Protest Staged at NOAA Over Global Warming

In Maryland, the headquarters of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration was the scene of a protest yesterday over the Bush administration’s handling of global warming. Two protesters occupied a ledge above the building’s front entrance and unfurled a banner reading: “Bush Let NOAA Tell the Truth.” Other protesters on the ground blocked and occupied the building's main entrance.

The demonstrators accused the agency of ignoring and actively suppressing science that details the threat of global warming.
