It's not about scientists setting policy.
Scientists report findings - it never was up to *anyone* to mess with their findings (unless they may wish to contest them with any valid evidence). That includes any government.
It also sure as hell is not up to any government to decide what elements of the work of others will be known - or change the slant.
It also has nothing to do with the US admin on statements about global warming - they are unqualified to even discuss it and do fuck all about it anyways.
