December 7, 1997: Greenhouse Gases, Hidden Files - Sue Kovach & Linda Moulton Howe

Sue Kovach and Linda Moulton Howe investigate suppressed information about greenhouse gases and hidden files that reveal government knowledge of environmental threats. Kovach's research uncovers classified documents and suppressed scientific studies that paint a different picture of environmental change than what official sources present to the public. Her investigation reveals how political and economic interests influence environmental policy while suppressing information that could guide more effective responses to climate challenges. Howe contributes her journalistic investigation into environmental phenomena and government secrecy surrounding ecological research and monitoring programs. Their combined research demonstrates how environmental science is manipulated for political purposes while crucial information remains hidden from public awareness and democratic oversight. The discussion covers specific cases where environmental data has been suppressed or altered to serve political agendas rather than public interest in accurate information about ecological threats. Both investigators examine how citizen researchers and independent scientists can access information that government agencies and corporate interests prefer to keep secret. Their work reveals patterns of environmental suppression that extend beyond climate change to include broader ecological issues affecting public health and environmental stability. The program demonstrates how independent environmental investigation can uncover information that challenges official narratives while providing more accurate assessment of ecological threats and potential solutions.
