The Environmental Protection Agency may have suppressed an internal report

And it was substantially plagiarized from WCR without attribution

One of the more telling pieces of "it was really me wot wrote this"
was the following:

Original source from Pat Michaels:

In order to *cover up his source* Carlin changed the pronouns to the
first person singular. Breathtaking. Had the EPA published this, the
deniers could have legitimately claimed academic fraud.

As for being 'suppressed' Carlin's plagiarism was apparently written
on the taxpayer dime -- i.e. in EPA time.
