In March 2005, Rick S. Piltz resigned from CCSP charging political interference with scientific reports: "I believe ...that the administration … has acted to impede forthright communication of the state of climate science and its implications for society." Piltz charged that the Bush Administration had suppressed the previous National Assessment on Climate Change, by systematically deleting references to the report from government scientific documents.
In early 2005, Rick S. Piltz resigned from his position as a senior associate in the U.S. Climate Change Science Program and claimed that Cooney had been editing government climate reports to emphasize doubts about global warming.
Within months, the New York Times exposed White House operative Philip Cooney for editing government climate documents to increase uncertainty about the science.
