CLIMATEGATE II: SCIENTISTS PUSHED TO HIDE DATA – Emails leaked to the AP show the U.S. and other governments pushed scientists preparing a new UN climate report due out next week to omit or downplay evidence that the earthâs atmosphere has stopped warming for the past 15 years.
From the wire – âGermany called for the reference to the slowdown to be deleted, saying a time span of 10 to 15 years was misleading in the context of climate change, which is measured over decades and centuries. The U.S. also urged the authors to include the âleading hypothesisâ that the reduction in warming is linked to more heat being transferred to the deep ocean.â
Bad timing for new coal regs – The Obama administration is expected today to announce new climate rules which industry leaders say will cripple the use of coal in America and cause electricity rates to skyrocket. The EPA is expected to release its long-awaited greenhouse gas standards for future power plants. EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy will deliver remarks on President Obamaâs climate change policies today at a National Press Club breakfast.
