Some of you may be aware that the Environmental Protection Agency is "considering" naming CO2 a pollutant...and thereby gaining the ability to control and make rules without legislative approval...regarding anything which adds CO2 to the atmosphere.
This is supposed to be a scientific and public and transparent consideration...not a political one. Now, the CEI...a conservative advocacy group against global warming has found FOUR sepearate EPA memos which indicate that the EPA is stifling dissent within its ranks on this issue. This is illegal and reprehensible and could end up costing us all trillions of dollars if the greenies in the EPA get to do with CO2 what they can do with DDT.
Here is an excerpt:
CEI is submitting a set of four EPA emails, dated March 12-17, 2009, which
indicate that
a significant internal critique of EPA’s position on Endangerment was
essentially put under wraps and concealed. The study was barred from being circulated
within EPA, it was never disclosed to the public, and it was not placed in the docket of
this proceeding. The emails further show that the study was treated in this manner not
because of any problem with its quality, but for political reasons.
CEI hereby requests that EPA make this study public, place it into the docket,
and either extend or reopen the comment period to allow public response to this new
study. We also request that EPA publicly declare that it will engage in no reprisals
against the author of the study, who has worked at EPA for over 35 years.

Read the whole article...whether you are liberal or conservative, you should be offended by this conduct. If you are, please contact your Congressmen/women and ask them to read the e-mails and conduct an investigation and insist on the buried study being made public.Thanks
