Case report: Attempted editing of a scientific report on sea level rise <\/strong><\/h3>\n

The ACDC collection now contains two 2018 articles about removal of the word \u201canthropogenic\u201d (term for people\u2019s impact on nature) from the draft executive summary of a sea level rise report for the U. S. National Park Service. The scientific report is intended to inform officials and the public about how to protect park resources and visitors from climate change. Evidence of editing was reported during early April in a Reveal News <\/em>article from the Center for Investigative Reporting. The final Park Service report was released during mid-May with the removed wording restored.<\/p>\n

You can read both articles here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
