CORRECTION
We recently reported that a scientist in the White House Council on Environmental Quality had altered a former oil company lobbyist's report to better reflect the consensus of the scientific community on global warming. In fact, it was a former oil company lobbyist in the CEQ who altered a report from scientists to better reflect the consensus of oil company lobbyists on global warming. We regret the error.
