The worlds largest private sector coal business, the Peabody Energy Company (PEC) has filed a mammoth 240-page Petition for Reconsideration, a full-blown legal challenge against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The petition must be answered and covers the entire body of leaked emails from Climategate as well as those other gate revelations including the frauds allegedly perpetrated under such sub-headings as Himalayan Glaciers, African Agricultural Production, Amazon Rain Forests, Melting Mountain Ice, Netherlands Below Sea Level as well as those much-publicized abuses of the peer-review literature and so called gray literature. These powerful litigants also draw attention to the proven criminal conduct by climate scientists in refusing to honor Freedom of Information law (FOIA) requests.

The EPA cannot afford to let this go to court. The discovery process may be damaging to the EPA’s powers in other areas. Rather than allow that, the may drop CO2 regulation in order to make the case moot.
I especially like that they will demand discovery not only of all the released email and data so far, but everything else the fraudsters have conjured up. Everything will be admissible, the perps will be deposed under oath, and called to testify.
The potential for criminal referrals abound. Let us hope Peabody has a streak of vindictiveness at work, and intends to fry these rat-bastards in their own sauce.
I want Al Gore’s head on a platter.
Failing that, I want him brought up on CRIMINAL fraud charges.
It would seem appropriate, to explain the mechanical causes of this statement....what are the reasons for increased major hurricanes, large sized hail...etc...the writers make these profound statements, but fail to justify....
Gore can't be held to account for stupidity, since that isn't yet a crime. He can, however, be held to account for racketeering and fraud, exploiting the moneyed naive, based entirely on the unfounded assumption, and the fraudulent "proof" that anthropogenic warming both exists and can be controlled by any measures modern mankind may adopt.
That global warming exists has always been beyond dispute, since the Earth is not yet a dead planet. It is also beyond dispute that warming and cooling is a natural alternating process that has been ongoing for hundreds of thousands, and millions of years.
I think we must kick the fraudsters while they're down, so they don't even think about repeating their "tricks" in the name of Science.
Another major suit by taxpayers is absolutely necessary, both to establish the fraud beyond dispute, and to remove the onerous laws and monumental taxes that have been imposed in the name of "gobal warming."
No one has more "standing" than the American taxpayer, who bears all of the direct as well as the indirect taxes, fees and loss of liberties.
What is best in life?
To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.
I really wonder how many people would still be at their jobs and still in their homes if nor for algore and the like. if one person lost a job over this horsecrap it IS criminal.
that would be wonderful if they would.
all the stringent no can’t drill while china and russia drill off our shores, handicapping our own people and our own oil supplies diminishing.
the whole thing is insane.
All of the insanity that we have seen and continue to see is what I call the Train of Insanity.
I hope the Peabody runs them right into the ground.
Anybody else would have their case dismissed because they had no "standing".
Excellent!
In Mr Burns voice lol
Thank you Peabody Energy.
You have my admiration and support.
Greenies (commies & progressives) hate getting caught in propaganda lies.
Ugh...
Isn’t it, though?
Follow the money. Research. They are buying into global warming because they see a chance to make $$$$$$. No other reason.
huge class action suit against the democrats.
I agree with you.
