Obama's EPA: Politics over Science

We wrote here about the Environmental Protection Agency's scuttling of a report by one of its own scientists that says human activity has little or nothing to do with climate change. The Obama administration, the scientist's boss explained, "has decided to move forward on endangerment"--i.e., to make the false finding that CO2 emissions endanger human health and well-being--and therefore "your comments" can only have a "negative impact on our office."

Four inconvenient document sources:

1) A 300+ page "manager's amendment" that was added to the bill at 3:09am the day of the House vote. Not only was this a voluminous add-on, it is a scary document. How will local governments be able to afford the extra staff to enforce the new and very confusing building code laws. The bill also radically modifies international trade rules.

2) A suppressed and censored report from our own EPA exposes many problems with the theories and "consensus" of the populist (and now debunked) theory of global warming, and the true (and minimal) affect of human activity on the climate. The suppressed EPA report is linked here:

3) A report from the Chicago-based Heartland Institute summarized the Non-Governmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC) that attempts to use scientific and rational arguments to identify exactly what is going on in the climate and the true impact of human activity. The recently released NIPCC report is found here:

4) A deep-in-the-weeds technical website devoted to expose the false data collection and manipulation of research data was used to support al the carbon dioxide and temperature nonsense:
