about the picture, polar bears can swim for 100 miles without stopping. They can also swim for 23 and a half miles without coming up for air.

commented on the same picture of the polar bears referenced in your article. If I remember right he referenced the same ’07 Newsbusters article you did. I wonder now if Ken Salazar’s decision to retain Bush’s ruling that limits use of the Endangered Species Act to curb emissions of greenhouse gases in order to protect the bears will get reversed.

Wouldn’t surprise me at all.

the researcher even found that CO2 may not be the big boogeyman the EPA is trying to say it is:

After reviewing the scientific literature that the EPA is relying on, Carlin said, he concluded that it was at least three years out of date and did not reflect the latest research. “My personal view is that there is not currently any reason to regulate (carbon dioxide),” he said. “There may be in the future. But global temperatures are roughly where they were in the mid-20th century. They’re not going up, and if anything they’re going down.

I just love the transparency in this administration, don’t you? Carlin better get ready to look for a job.

but the EPA (of course) is suppressing an internal report challenging the whole global warming myth. This article, also from Newsbusters States that Joe Barton even held a news conference about the issue. From a CBSnews.com article (apparently one of the very few news outfits that even mention the press conference we find that the researcher was told:

The administrator and the administration has decided to move forward... and your comments do not help the legal or policy case for this decision.

Transparancy, eh, Obama? More like your administration is doing exactly what the previous administration was accused of doing, which would be suppressing science:

One has to wonder why the suppression of such information by the EPA is suddenly not considered newsworthy given the media's fascination with what it consistently depicted as scientific censorship when George W. Bush was in the White House.

All this supposedly happenend between Thursday and Friday before... yep... the House vote on Cap and Tax.
