EIN News says, "Bush-Era EPA Document on Climate Change Released. The Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday released a long-suppressed report by George W. Bush administration officials who had concluded -- based on science -- that the government should begin regulating greenhouse gas emissions because global warming posed serious risks to the country. The report, known as an "endangerment finding," was done in 2007. The Bush White House refused to make it public because it opposed new government efforts to regulate the gases most scientists see as the major cause of global warming. (latimes.com)".

Here we may have a classic example of "bait and switch"!

There seems to be some confusion here. It says above that the 2007 EPA report OPPOSED efforts to regulate gases. However if we go back to the original LA Times article, it said that the report CALLED for regulation of greenhouse gases.

If I understand this correctly, the EPA issued a report known as "Endangerment Finding" in 2007 to the Bush Administration. It is said above that the report was held confidential until now. It is also said that the report opposed efforts to regulate certain gas emissions to the atmosphere. Even now, I have been unable to find the report on the Internet. However, let us take the above EIN News report at face value.

Apparently, President Bush didn't like the report, because it opposed regulation, and Bush wanted regulation. President Bush is said to have made a statement that "based on science", regulatory action would be necessary. I would very much like to see the science, which has up to now been missing in all discussions of climate control. Contrarily, if the 2007 report called for greenhouse gas regulation, as said in the LA Times article, why would President Bush not have used it?

Pres. Obama also wants regulation and has been able to convince the EPA to somehow manipulate the original 2007 report in order to support his regulatory program. I would much like to see the original 2007 report in order to see if any and how this manipulation is being done. If anyone has a lead on how I can find that report, I would much appreciate it. I have been able to find many subsequent EPA references to it, but we really need to look at the original report.
