The attitude Carol Browner, President Barack Obama's chief adviser on global warming, has taken in regard to tampering with science is typical of the rush to climate change judgment.
Journalists have obtained copies of e-mails from the Climate Research Unit at a British university. According to a published report, the e-mails seem to indicate that university researchers were attempting to cover up data that contradicted claims of global warming.
More worrisome, the messages indicated attempts to "freeze out" scientists who disagree with global warming claims.
Browner has dismissed the reports, concluding that "this problem is real."
Sen. James Inhofe, D-Okla., has called for an investigation into the e-mails. We agree with him but think a broader probe is in order.
There have been too many reports of doctored "scientific" research and of global warming skeptics punished for their views to ignore.
