EPA denies global warming petitions | Washington Examiner
The Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday denied 10 petitions, one of which was filed by Virginia attorney general Ken Cuccinelli, challenging the agency’s 2009 determination that climate change is occurring due to the emission of greenhouse gases and threatens human health.

One basis of Cuccinelli’s petition, filed in February, was the so-called “Climategate” flap, in which internal e-mails from climatologists alleging to have manufactured data were revealed. An investigation into the matter largely cleared the scientists involved of wrongdoing.

These petitions — based as they are on selectively edited, out-of-context data and a manufactured controversy — provide no evidence to undermine our determination,” said EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson.

The liars are beginning to lie again.

The so-called investigations were conducted under the direction of the same people who were being investigated. Sort of like the Board of Directors of Enron investigating Enron and saying everything is OK. Since Browner is incapable of being honest, she is unfit to be a public servant and should resign.

What would you expect her to say.

Shocking, the EPA finds nothing wrong with Climategate and affirms that global warming is real. What else are they going to say? That global warming is not man made, oh, and by the way, cut our funding by about a billion dollars. It's all about the money.

Global Warming has simply become "too big to fail" and is therefore in need of government funds in order to forestall a collapse in wind power, solar power, and cold fusion.
