Obama’s War On Science: Emails Indicate EPA’s Efforts To Conceal Studies Critical Of Global Warming

For all the left’s concern over President George W. Bush’s alleged “war on science,” and Obama’s claims that he was going to end the “politicization of science,” it sure seems as if the global warming faithful on the left are all about suppressing science that’s inconvenient for their beliefs.

As part of a just-ended public comment period, CEI submitted a set of four EPA emails, dated March 12-17, 2009, which indicate that a significant internal critique of the agency’s global warming position was put under wraps and concealed.
The study the emails refer to, which ran counter to the administration’s views on carbon dioxide and climate change, was kept from circulating within the agency, was never disclosed to the public, and was not added to the body of materials relevant to EPA’s current “endangerment” 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.
“This suppression of valid science for political reasons is beyond belief,” said CEI General Counsel Sam Kazman. “EPA’s conduct is even more outlandish because it flies in the face of the President’s widely-touted claim that ‘the days of science taking a back seat to ideology are over.’”

Those days aren’t over. It’s just a different ideology that science will be taking a back seat to.
