The recent passage of the “Cap and trade” bill, a modern example of the Smoot-Hawley tariff that brought on the Great Depression, raises once again the theory of anthropogenic global warming. That is the theory that human activity, principally through the production of CO2 by the burning of fossil fuels, has caused global warming. There is no other reason for this massive attack on our economic system except the validity of this theory. Al Gore says the debate is over but others disagree. What does the Environmental Protection Agency say ?
The EPA was recently tasked with producing a report that would justify regulation of CO2 as a harmful substance. The report was produced but, because it did not find evidence that CO2 is harmful, the report is being suppressed by the Obama administration. Remember how Bush was accused of manipulating science for political reasons ?
The information about suppression of the EPA report has not appeared in the media. I wonder why ?
We have the Obama administration, which was put into office on the pledge and the promise of openness and transparency and full disclosure and a new change in government. And one of their biggest issues is the issue of climate change and whether we should move a massive reorganization of our entire economy because of CO2 emissions.
In order to move forward, the EPA administrator had to find an endangerment finding, which is a legal term meaning the EPA administrator had to declare that there was an endangerment to human health, and, therefore, we needed to regulate this substance — in this case, CO2.
There is a group within the EPA that’s tasked with doing some of the economic and environmental analysis. And a career scientist in that group prepared an extensive report, close to 100 pages in length, in which he found that there were very serious concerns about going forward with the finding of endangerment. And that’s the substance of this press conference, is how that report was suppressed, censored, prevented from going through the review process.
Well, I guess it’s just not news.
