EPA May Have Suppressed Report Skeptical Of Global Warming
The Environmental Protection Agency may have suppressed an internal report that was skeptical of claims about global warming, including whether carbon dioxide must be strictly regulated by the federal government, according to a series of newly disclosed e-mail messages.
Less than two weeks before the agency formally submitted its pro-regulation recommendation to the White House, an EPA center director quashed a 98-page report that warned against making hasty "decisions based on a scientific hypothesis that does not appear to explain most of the available data."
as they always say follow the money.....it's the Dems and their Cap and Tax policy. Carbon Credits, Al Gore, GE......-

This is as much a non-story as it was yesterday. The authors of the report were acting outside their official capacities within the EPA. Carlin is an economist and Davidson has scant climatology credentials. The report was unsolicited, yet still reviewed by EPA supervisors. Carlin was allowed to present his opinions at panel discussions and conferences and allowed to invite those who concurred to said conferences.

The paper is rife with problems. First, there are no direct cites of peer-reviewed data and most of the data is cherry-picked, misinterpreted, or out of context. The 'study' is largely an amalgam of global warming denier 'arguments' that have been circulating around the web for the past few years. Second, the report can't even seem to decide its own opinion. Early in the paper, Carlin says the globe is actually cooling. Later he states the warming is a result of natural solar and ocean cycles.
Did the media ignore this report? Sure they did, and why not? Two EPA staffers working outside their area of expertise have no reason to expect otherwise.-

The report itself is a sham.
