Don't Say Anything at All!

That's the message the Bush administration is giving to its own scientists doing climate research.  Employees working for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have recently revealed that the U.S. government has "chastised them for speaking on policy questions; removed references to global warming from their reports, news releases and conference Web sites; investigated news leaks; and sometimes urged them to stop speaking to the media altogether."

Read the full Washington Post article.

Fortunately, not all Americans collect their paychecks from Bush, and have the freedom to speak out.  A recent Time magazine poll showed that 85 percent of all Americans now recognize that global warming is an urgent crisis.  And as Chevy Tahoe recently learned, we're spreading the word to that last 15 percent.

Chevrolet recently launched an online contest to get consumers to create ad spots for its Tahoe SUV.  Great idea, but perhaps it wasn't fully thought out.  The contest has attracted LOTS of creative submissions from environmental advocates linking the SUV to global warming.  You almost feel bad for them - almost.  Check out some of the best here.

(sorry about the 15-second ad that runs first)
