STIFLING SCIENCE TO 'FIGHT WARMING'
NY Post ^ | June 26, 2009 | Michelle Malkin

THE Obama administra tion doesn't want to hear inconvenient truths about global warming. And it doesn't want you to hear them, either. As House Democrats rush to pass a $4 trillion, thousand-page "cap and trade" bill that no one has read, environmental bureaucrats are stifling voices that threaten their political agenda.

The free market-based Competitive Enterprise Institute in Washington has obtained a set of internal e-mails exposing Team Obama's willful and reckless disregard for data that undermine the illusion of "consensus."

In March, Alan Carlin, a senior research analyst at the Environmental Protection Agency, asked agency officials to distribute his analysis on the health effects of greenhouse gases. EPA has proposed a public health "endangerment finding" covering CO2 and five other gases that would trigger costly, extensive new regulations of motor vehicles. The open comment period on the ruling ended this week. But Carlin's study didn't fit the blame-human-activity narrative, so it didn't make the cut.

On March 12, Carlin's director, Al McGartland, forbade him from having "any direct communication" with anyone outside his office about his study. "There should be no meetings, e-mails, written statements, phone calls, etc."

I remember a few years ago, there was some pro-global-warming loudmouth employed by the EPA who was on every television show claiming Bush was trying to shut him up for political reasons.

Now here we have an actual example of political muscle stifling science, with a paper trail, and . . . crickets.

I loathe Al Gore more than any other person alive. I hope I’m still around to see him get what he deserves.
