    The White House significantly edited testimony prepared for a Senate hearing on the impact of climate change on health, deleting key portions citing diseases that could flourish in a warmer climate.

    The White House on Wednesday denied that it had “watered down†the congressional testimony that Dr. Julie Gerberding, director of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, had given the day before to the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee.

    One more year, sister. One more year (and change). Biggest pack of tossers to "grace" the federal gov't... ever. I can't think of an administration that displayed more ineptitude.
