Getting warmer?
The Competitive Enterprise Institute in Washington is abuzz about the
letter it received last week from the Office of White House Counsel, its
subject man-made global warming - or lack thereof.
In the letter, the White House denied impropriety surrounding an
Environmental Protection Agency "Climate Action Report" submitted to the
United Nations outlining U.S. positions on catastrophic man-made global
warming.
But the climate report, according to the CET, basically repackages
findings from the "National Assessment on Climate Change," a document
earlier disavowed by the Bush White House.
The administration distanced itself from the assessment when settling a
lawsuit filed by CET counsel Christopher Homner on behalf of Republican
lawmakers Sen. James Inhofe, Oklahoma Republican and Reps. Jo Ann Emerson
of Missouri and Joe Knollenberg of Michigan, among other parties.
The White House contended the global-warming assessment was "not policy
positions or formal expressions of the U3.S. government."
But now the administration appears to have flip-flopped, putting its stamp
of approval on the latest climate report sent to the United Nations.
Meanwhile, eleven state attorneys general have seized Uncle Sam's "spooky
tale," as the CET counsel calls the report, "to file lawsuits demanding
the most expensive regulatory undertaking in U.S. history, given that the
U.S. now 'admits' it."
