EPA Ignores Protests; Will Control Carbon
The Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday blew off requests to overturn its finding that greenhouse gases endanger human health. And they still don't like Climate-Gate either, because it weakened their position.
The EPA's decision to reject those petitions was hardly a surprise - the agency was, in effect, being asked to check its own work. But the EPA used the occasion to attack the arguments of its critics, many of them reliant on the "Climate-gate" episode, in which hackers released embarassing emails sent by climate scientists.
Because the British media showed no inclination to investigate the issue, since the 'science' was certain.
The EPA's response cited several self-conducted investigations that have cleared researchers involved in the scandal of charges of misconduct. It conceded that errors had been found in a landmark United Nations report on climate change. But it said that none of these raised doubts about the overall direction of climate science, and the certainty that climate change was happening and would get worse.
Just yesterday, I saw National Geographic had an article saying global warming was a certainty, based on present temperature measurements, nevermind that messy history stuff.
The finding had been challenged by the states of Virginia and Texas, as well as the Competitive Enterprise Institute, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Ohio Coal Association, and evil coal giant Peabody Energy.
