Junk Science: The EPA may be considering closing the watchdog office that exposed the flimsy evidence of man-caused warming. So much for the administration's promise to "restore science to its rightful place."
Recently we commented on the plight of Dr. Allen Carlin, the EPA senior research analyst at the National Center for Environmental Economics who dared to say, in essence, that emperor Al Gore and his environmental sycophants at the Environmental Protection Agency wore no clothes. The EPA had been working on an "endangerment finding" that would say carbon dioxide, rather than being the basis for all life on earth, was a dangerous pollutant and allowing the EPA to regulate it and five other gases down to your lawn mower.
Along came Carlin, who decided to do something unheard of and actually check the empirical data. After examining numerous global warming studies, Carlin who holds a doctorate in economics with an undergraduate degree in physics said his research showed that "available observable data . . . invalidate the hypothesis" that humans cause dangerous global warming. The EPA has "tended to accept the findings reached by outside groups . . . as being correct without a careful and critical examination."
With the Democrats about to push the Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade legislation, it didn't help for Carlin to report, for example, that ocean cycles, rather than anthropogenic carbon dioxide, appeared to be the single best explanation of temperature variations.

I wonder how many annual tons of greenhouses gases are spewed forth from these nostrils?

"The Competitive Enterprise Institute, which in June unearthed the Carlin story and the e-mails that documented the EPA cover-up, now reports that rather than shoot the messenger, the Obama administration and the EPA want to close the office he works at."
LOL! This guy deserves a whistle blower award!
