In related news, New England states have joined to sue EPA for not creating CO2 air quality standards.

The way some of these goverment people act, I'm surpised they haven't tried to convince us that nuclear weapons don't spread radiation and that arsenic is an acceptable food-supplement for the poor and should replace food stamps.

Rokenn, EPA is not science per se. They base their works on other scientists work. Of course from what I have seen they select about 2% of the research that serves their purpose and then change some words around. Don't look at that as science.

The EPA has its own scientists and consultants. While not perfect, its people, legal and scientific, tend to be some of the more well-informed folks I come across in my work. If you want to get really frustrated by poor professionalism, try dealing with the state mini-EPA agencies. |

But given that the EPA report is inline with current scientific consensus on climate change I think it is much more then 2%.
