Obama officials gag EPA experts - LORRIE GOLDSTEIN  - Ontario, CA

Where are all the "green" media pundits who used to scream bloody murder about the George W. Bush administration censoring expert opinion on climate change, now that the Barack Obama administration has been accused of doing it?

Most appear to be ignoring the controversy, or assuring the public: "Nothing to see here, folks, just move along," in the wake of the story reported by CBSnews.com last week.

It raises concerns that the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency tried to suppress the opinions of two of its own researchers -- an economist and an environmental scientist -- that the EPA was unwisely rushing into declaring carbon dioxide a pollutant, based on outdated and disputed scientific research on climate change.
...
The EPA said Carlin's and Davidson's concerns were considered in its decision-making process, which appears to contradict McGartland's e-mails, and added Carlin isn't a scientist -- odd because his co-author was and because economists are routinely cited as experts on climate change by governments in relation to the financial costs of attempting to reduce global warming.

As for the silence of most media on this controversy --who went berserk whenever the Bush administration censored public servants on climate change -- it couldn't be because they're in the tank for Obama . . . could it?

Obama in Russia cuts global warming nuke treaty Opinion Articles - Satire by Scott Ott

The U.S.-Russia deal includes a cap-and-trade system that allows nations with large volumes of nuclear weapons to purchase radiation-emission credits from nations which have no nuclear arsenals. The plan won't reduce the overall potential temperature of the atmosphere, however, it will provide an income stream to boost the prosperity of pre-nuclear nations and drain the resources of nuclear superpowers forcing them to consider alternative sources of national defense.

Experts say nuclear detonation has a global warming impact potential that rivals carbon dioxide, second-hand cigarette smoke, lawn mower exhaust and even livestock emissions in its ability to heat the atmosphere, thereby threatening wildlife habitat.

President Obama said the new round of negotiations would "lead to a world of clean air and clean energy where the only people who have nuclear weapons are those who have no respect for the rule of law."

IN THE MAIL: It’s time to take steps to combat climate change | Grand Forks Herald | Bryce Haugen

MOORHEAD — I’m getting pretty sick of the ignorant, antiquated arguments of climate change skeptics. It’s time to stop debating the indisputable science and take meaningful steps to combat what is clearly a crisis.
