Cheney 'tried to suppress climate change evidence'
US vice president Dick Cheney’s office pushed to delete references about the consequences of climate change on public health from congressional testimony, in a bid to play down the effects of global warming, a former environment expert claims.
Jason Burnett said the White House had been worried that the proposed testimony last October by the head of the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention might make it more difficult to avoid regulating greenhouse gases.
