US environmental agency quashed an inconveniently sceptical report The Environmental Protection Agency may have suppressed an internal report that was sceptical of claims about global warming. Less than two weeks before the agency formally submitted its pro-regulation recommendation to the White House, an EPA centre 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 ». The EPA official, Al McGartland, said in an e-mail message to a staff researcher on March 17: « The administrator and the administration has decided to move forward … and your comments do not help the legal or policy case for this decision. » The email correspondence raises questions about political interference in what was supposed to be a independent review process inside a federal agency. Alan Carlin, the primary author of the 98-page EPA report, told CBS News in a telephone interview on Friday that his boss, McGartland, was being pressured himself. « It was his view that he either lost his job or he got me working on something else, » Carlin said. « That was obviously coming from higher levels. » After reviewing the scientific literature that the EPA is relying on, Carlin said, he concluded that it was at least three years out of date and did not reflect the latest research. « Global temperatures are roughly where they were in the mid-20th century. They’re not going up, and if anything they’re going down. » |
Trop fort!!!!
Mais voyons.
La manipulation scientifique est une pratique tout à fait acceptable quand elle sert les intérêts gauchistes!
Dire qu’Obama a déclaré:
« To ensure that in this new Administration, we base our public policies on the soundest science; that we appoint scientific advisers based on their credentials and experience, not their politics or ideology; and that we are open and honest with the American people about the science behind our decisions. »
Faut tellement être dupe pour croire au GW. Juste à se mettre le nez dehors 2 fois par semaines depuis 10 ans et c’est très clair que ça refroidit. Ça réchauffe pas batince… avez-vous vu le mois de juin ridicule qu’on a eu??
<Ironie>
Mais vous ne comprenez pas! Le refroidissement, c’est l’un des effets secondaires du global warming.
</Ironie>
N’empêche qu’ils utilisent également le terme « changements climatiques ». Donc, peu importe comment ça fluctue, ils ont l’air d’avoir « raison » face aux crédules.
Vive le réchauffement… Ça va retarder un peu les glaciers qui vont couvrir le Canada….
