"Report: NASA Distorted Global-Warming Studies"

No, NASA didn't exaggerate global warming, although you have to read the article carefully to realize that. The article in the Houston Chronicle is clearer:

"Political appointees at NASA headquarters deliberately downplayed scientific evidence documenting global warming for political reasons"

"Distorted" is unnecessarily ambiguous. Foxnews has a history of giving global warming "skeptics" far more press than they deserve, and prominently promotes a columnist who publishes repeated denials of global warming.

A lot of people watch Foxnews. Closing your eyes to what they're saying doesn't help deal with the world.
