Thomas Fuller: The EPA's internal nightmare over global warming: Part 1
A source inside the Environmental Protection Agency confirmed many of the claims made by analyst Alan Carlin, the economist/physicist who yesterday went public with accusations that science was being ignored in evaluating the danger of CO2.
Source inside EPA confirms claims of science being ignored, suppressed, by top EPA management « Watts Up With That?
Please visit Mr. Fuller’s blog to give him some traffic and some kudos for excellence in journalism. I was pleased that team WUWT was able to assist, and it goes to demonstrate that reasonable people on opposite sides of an issue can work together to find truth. Also, let’s all give major props to WUWT’s “Charles the moderator” for his role as facilitator. – Anthony

The last one, Chris Smith (NJ), is simply mind-bending. After all, global warming is the vehicle for the down with people, people are pollution, Zero-Population-Growth crowd. As I've noted before on PG and in Red Hot Lies, China is even seeking approval of "offsets" to sell to the EU — and, soon, to us — derived from their coercive family-planning policies.

That's right: carbon-offset credits from forced abortions. Why and how could anyone even give a second thought to strolling down this path — or sprinting, as Waxman-Markey would have the U.S. do?

If Rep. Smith doesn't know this, he's terribly ill-informed and/or poorly staffed on the matter.
Democrats Growing Confident About Climate Bill Passage - The Atlantic Politics Channel
Democrats on Capitol Hill say that historic and controversial climate change legislation is likely to pass the House of Representatives tomorrow. A top Democratic aide estimated that Speaker Nancy Pelosi had banked just enough votes as of this evening. Included are a handful of Republicans. Other Democrats said that they weren't sure where the vote count stood, but that they expected the bill to pass. (Republicans say they're confident it will fail.) Late today, the AFL-CIO endorsed the bill, which might boost its fortunes among Democrats in Pennsylvania. And on the other side, the Chamber of Commerce said it would count the vote as "key," which means they'll hold a "yes" vote against lawmakers.
