Official Announcement Of New Supplemental Petition To EPA

New research findings demonstrate that adjustments by government agencies to the global average surface temperature (GAST) record render that record totally inconsistent with published credible temperature data sets and useless for any policy purpose.

Two weeks ago, I wrote a post describing new research results once again eviscerating EPA’s CO2 “Endangerment Finding,” this time on the grounds that the supposed “record warming” that underlies the Finding is no more than an artifact of fraudulently altered temperature data.  If you somehow still doubt that our government has fraudulently altered temperature data in order to give credence to the global warming scam, kindly read my fifteen part series on that subject at this link.

Today, my excellent client, the Concerned Household Electricity Consumers Council, has issued its official announcement that it has submitted a new petition to the EPA — actually, the Second Supplement to its already existing Petition — demanding that EPA rescind the Endangerment Finding because it has been invalidated by the new results.

The full text of our Press Release follows:

Electricity Consumers File New Study in Their Call for EPA to Reopen its Endangerment Finding

Key Points:

  1. Just Released, new research findings demonstrate that adjustments by government agencies to the global average surface temperature (GAST) record render that record totally inconsistent with published credible temperature data sets and useless for any policy purpose.
  2. The new results invalidate the claims based on GAST data of “record warming” in recent years, and thereby also invalidate the so-called “lines of evidence” on which EPA claimed to base its 2009 CO2 Endangerment Finding.
  3. If the Endangerment Finding is not vacated, whether the current administration likes it or not, it is certain that electric utility, automotive and many other industries will face ongoing EPA CO2 regulation.
  4. This scientifically illiterate regulation will raise U.S. energy prices thereby reducing economic growth and jobs.
