Proving that the Global Warming issue may indeed be simply a political issue we discover last night what 38 year veteran EPA scientist Alan Carlin tried to tell his bosses and the rest of the world back in March. The climate is cooling!
The 98-page report, co-authored by EPA analyst Alan Carlin, pushed back on the prospect of regulating gases like carbon dioxide as a way to reduce global warming. Carlin’s report argued that the information the EPA was using was out of date, and that even as atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have increased, global temperatures have declined over the last 11 years.
Carlin’s boss at the EPA dismissed the report saying, “The administrator and the administration has decided to move forward on endangerment, and your comments do not help the legal or policy case for this decision,” he wrote, according to the e-mails released by CEI. “I can only see one impact of your comments given where we are in the process, and that would be a very negative impact on our office.”
He later wrote an e-mail urging Carlin to “move on to other issues and subjects.”
“I don’t want you to spend any additional EPA time on climate change. No papers, no research, etc., at least until we see what EPA is going to do with climate,” McGartland wrote.
The question arises- will Obama’s Cap and Trade bill still be passed now that we know that Global Warming is a farce? I maintain my stance that focusing on Global Warming or even Global Cooling is simply an example of the public overfocusing on hype rather than on what’s really necessary. Certainly reducing pollution and carbon emissions is important but I’d like to see the Global Warming fanatics focus their energy on something more important like water conservation.
