Obama EPA releases Bush-era global warming finding

By DINA CAPPIELLO, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON –

A controversial e-mail message buried by the Bush administration
because of its conclusions on global warming surfaced Tuesday, nearly
two years after it was first sent to the White House and never opened.

The e-mail and the 28-page document attached to it, released Tuesday
by the Environmental Protection Agency, show that back in December of
2007 the agency concluded that six gases linked to global warming pose
dangers to public welfare, and wanted to take steps to regulate their
release from automobiles and the burning of gasoline.

The document specifically cites global warming's effects on air
quality, agriculture, forestry, water resources and coastal areas as
endangering public welfare.

That finding was rejected by the Bush White House, which strongly
opposed using the Clean Air Act to address climate change and stalled
on producing a so-called "endangerment finding" that had been ordered
by the Supreme Court in 2007.

As a result, the Dec. 5 e-mail sent by the agency to Susan Dudley, who
headed the regulatory division at the Office of Management and Budget
was never opened, according to Jason Burnett, the former EPA official
that wrote it.

The Bush administration, and then EPA administrator Stephen Johnson,
also refused to release the document, which is labeled "deliberative,
do not distribute" to Democratic lawmakers.

Bush ain't around anymore. The question is not what Bush did or did
not do. The question is whether there is any real scientific proof of
agw from co2. There isn't. The rest is all politics.

There is and your paying for it dumbass

What happened to global warming?
For the last 11 years we have not observed any increase in global
temperatures.
