Wolfowitz ‘tried to censor World Bank on climate change’沃尔福威茨'试图检查员世界银行关于气候变化的'
The Bush administration has consistently thwarted efforts by the World Bank to include global warming in its calculations when considering whether to approve major investments in industry and infrastructure, according to documents made public through a watchdog yesterday.布什政府一贯的努力，挫败了由世界银行，包括全球气候变暖在其计算时，考虑是否批准的重大投资在工业和基础设施，根据文件的公开，通过一个看门狗昨天。
On one occasion, the White House’s pointman at the bank, the now disgraced Paul Wolfowitz, personally intervened to remove the words “climate change” from the title of a bank progress report and ordered changes to the text of the report to shift the focus away from global warming.有一次，白宫的pointman在银行，现在蒙羞保罗沃尔福威茨，亲自干预，以消除的话： “气候变化” ，从标题一家银行的工作进度报告，并下令更改的报告全文转移注意力从全球变暖。
But the issue predates Mr Wolfowitz’s appointment as president of the bank in June 2005.但是，这个问题早沃尔福威茨先生被任命为银行主席在2005年6月。 According to the Government Accountability Project (GAP), which has tracked efforts to censor debate on global warming, environmental specialists at the World Bank tried unsuccessfully to press for consideration of greenhouse- gas emissions in a paper written - but never published - in 2002.根据政府问责项目（差距） ，其中有跟踪，努力检查员辩论，全球气候变暖，环境专家在世界银行的尝试失败新闻界考虑温室气体排放在一份文件中的书面-但从未出版的-在2 0 02年。
It was politics that prevented the publication of that paper, according to one senior bank insider who spoke to the Los Angeles Times, and politics that has been the principal obstacle to progress since.这是政治阻碍出版这份文件，据一位资深银行内幕谁谈话，洛杉矶时报，和政治一直是主要障碍以来取得的进展。 Only now, with the Bush administration on the ropes politically and the scientific evidence for global warming reaching such critical mass that even President George Bush has been forced to acknowledge its reality, are those same bank officials trying again to put the issue on the agenda.只有现在，随着布什政府对绳索在政治上和科学证据显示，全球变暖的深远的这种临界质量，即使是美国总统布什已被迫承认它的现实，是那些相同的银行官员试图再次把问题列入议程。 “Our biggest obstacle has been that politically, [climate change] is very controversial,” Kristalina Georgieva, the bank’s strategy and operations director for sustainable development, told the LA Times. “我们的最大障碍已被认为在政治上， [气候变化] ，是很具争议性， ”人Kristalina Georgieva ，该银行的战略和业务主任，可持续发展，告诉洛杉矶时报。
She said that, even under the best of circumstances, it will be at least two years before the bank starts measuring the impact of fossil fuel-related projects on the planet’s health.她说，即使在最好的情况下，这将是至少两年之前，该银行开始测量的影响，矿物燃料有关的项目，对地球的健康。 “We are not moving fast enough,” she added. “我们不是移动不够快， ”她补充说。 “It’s not possible to be moving fast enough.” “这是不可能的动议不够快” 。
The GAP has uncovered evidence of one striking instance of Bush administration censorship.差距已发现的证据之一，突出的实例，布什政府的审查。 In 2006, the bank’s vice presidents responded to a request from the Group of Eight industrialised countries and commissioned a draft report entitled Climate Change, Energy and Sustainable Development: Towards an Investment Framework.在2006年，该银行的副总统作出回应，要求从8国集团的工业化国家和委托草案的报告，题为气候变化，能源和可持续发展：实现人人共享的投资框架。 They endorsed the report, according to the minutes of a meeting obtained by the GAP.他们赞同报告，根据该纪要的会议上获得的差距。
Subsequently, however, Mr Wolfowitz’s office put out a memo asking the team to rework the paper, “shifting from a climate lens mainly to a clean-energy lens”.随后，然而，沃尔福威茨先生的办公室提出了一份备忘录，要求队返工的文件， “转变，从气候镜头，主要是一个清洁能源镜头” 。 The edited paper issued a few months later was eventually called Clean Energy and Development: Towards an Investment Framework.编辑的文件，发表了数个月后最终被所谓的清洁能源与发展：实现人人共享的投资框架。
The World Bank has come under fire from environmental groups for a number of decisions, including a recent grant to develop lignite mining and power plants in Kosovo.世界银行已来下，由消防，环保团体对于一些决定，包括最近的补助金，以发展采矿和褐煤发电厂在科索沃。 Lignite - or brown coal - pollutes the air heavily when burnt and is generally regarded as one of the dirtiest fuel sources on the planet.褐煤-或褐煤-空气污染严重时烧毁，并普遍被视为其中的肮脏的燃料来源于这个星球。
The investment appears to go against the bank’s own policy, from 2001, whereby it decided to try to phase out oil and gas investments by 2008 and to extend an existing moratorium on investments in coal mining.投资似乎违背了银行自身的政策，从2001年，根据这一决定，设法逐步淘汰石油和天然气的投资，到2008年，并扩大现有的关于暂停投资，在煤炭开采。
The GAP put out a report in March detailing similar problems at other agencies, most notably the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration which, among other duties, tracks hurricanes and other extreme weather phenomena.的差距，提出了一份报告，详细说明在三月类似的问题在其他机构，最显着的国家海洋和大气管理局，其中除其他职责，跟踪飓风和其他极端天气现象。 The report cited “objectionable and possibly illegal restrictions on the communication of scientific information to the media” - including censorship of interviews and press releases.报道援引“不良和可能的非法限制，对通信的科学信息，向媒体” -包括检查采访和新闻发布。
More recently, the GAP has reported the Bush administration’s refusal to consider climate change as it prepares to expand the national air transport system threefold over the next 20 years.最近，差距已报道了布什政府的拒绝考虑气候变化，因为它准备扩大国家航空运输系统的三倍以上，未来20年。 A multi-agency group called the Next Generation Air Transportation System has simply ignored global warming in its past two annual reports.一个多机构小组，所谓下一代的航空运输系统的根本忽视全球气候变暖在其过去两年的年度报告。
Mr Wolfowitz was forced to step down in June after it emerged that he had given a lucrative sinecure to his girlfriend and offered her excessive pay rises.沃尔福威茨先生被迫下台，在6月后出现，他曾获得利润丰厚的sinecure ，以他的女朋友，并提供她的过度加薪。
