From the Jacksonville Daily News, a Freedom Newspaper: <<< Citing the EPA’s questionable scientific assumptions, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce declared it will sue to block administrative regulations, while a group of congressional representatives petitioned the agency to “convene a proceeding for reconsideration” of its finding. Recently leaked e-mails from a major U.K. climate research facility reveal “a serious lack of integrity in the underlying data and models, such that it is doubtful that any process can be trusted…” claims the petition by Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., and others. Meanwhile, global warming skeptics have charged the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration similarly was “seriously complicit in data manipulation and fraud.” Retired climatologist Joseph D’Aleo said in a televised report, that a computer analysis “found they systematically eliminated 75 percent of the world’s (temperature measuring) stations with a clear bias” that resulted in misleadingly high temperature findings. That accusation is similar to one by a Russian think tank last month alleging U.K. climate scientists cherry-picked Russian temperature readings to arrive at false, high temperature readings they feed into computers to predict future temperatures. Industry groups also are beginning to smell a rat. The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association also has filed a court petition in Washington, D.C., to overturn the EPA endangerment ruling. >>> planetgore.nationalreview.com
