Ex-White House Aide Denies Distorting Climate Reports
The former chief of staff of the White House environmental policy office has denied charges that he sought to politicize government reports on the causes and effects of global warming. VOA's Dan Robinson reports from Capitol Hill Philip Cooney defended himself before a congressional committee.
As chief of staff of the White House Council on Environmental Quality until 2005, Philip Cooney is a central figure in the continuing debate involving allegations by some government climate scientists that the Bush administration tried to suppress findings supporting global warming.
Monday's session of the House oversight and government reform committee marked the first appearance by Cooney, who before his White House role worked for 15 years for the American Petroleum Institute, which represents the interests of oil companies.
