CARBONGATE – Global Warming Study Censored by EPA

Washington, D.C., June 26, 2009—The Competitive Enterprise Institute is today making public an internal study on climate science which was suppressed by the Environmental Protection Agency. Internal EPA email messages, released by CEI earlier in the week, indicate that the report was kept under wraps and its author silenced because of pressure to support the Administration’s agenda of regulating carbon dioxide.
The report finds that EPA, by adopting the United Nations’ 2007 “Fourth Assessment” report, is relying on outdated research and is ignoring major new developments. Those developments include a continued decline in global temperatures, a new consensus that future hurricanes will not be more frequent or intense, and new findings that water vapor will moderate, rather than exacerbate, temperature.
New data also indicate that ocean cycles are probably the most important single factor in explaining temperature fluctuations, though solar cycles may play a role as well, and that reliable satellite data undercut the likelihood of endangerment from greenhouse gases. All of this demonstrates EPA should independently analyze the science, rather than just adopt the conclusions of outside organizations.
The released report is a draft version, prepared under EPA’s unusually short internal review schedule, and thus may contain inaccuracies which were corrected in the final report.
“While we hoped that EPA would release the final report, we’re tired of waiting for this agency to become transparent, even though its Administrator has been talking transparency since she took office. So we are releasing a draft version of the report ourselves, today,” said CEI General Counsel Sam Kazman.

This censorship is an affront to all who value truth, and especially professionals in scientific disciplines. I work with people with differing political views, but not one of us would consider ignoring scientific evidence for political expediency...or worse.

The left flippantly accused the Bush administration of politicizing science. Here is proof that the Obama administration is really doing it!

After the Reichstag fire, Hitler moved to in effect take over the massive industrial base of Germany. He intimidated some industrialists and co-opted others. In the end, he controlled his economy as effectively as Stalin controlled his.
When this bill becomes law and it is seen in conjunction with healthcare "reform" which will nationalize one out of every six or seven dollars changing hands in the American economy, and the control already achieved over banks and car companies with the consequential power to intimidate and co-opt, Obama's control of our economy will be approaching that achieved by the dictators.
When that day comes, who will be left to complain about the ultimate usurpation: our personal and constitutional liberties?
