Getting warmer?
The Competitive Enterprise Institute in Washington is abuzz about the
letter it received last week from the office of White House Counsel,

subject man-made global warming - or lack thereof.
In the letter, the White House denied impropriety surrounding an
Environmental Protection Agency "Climate Action Report" submitted to
the
United Nations outlining U.S. positions on catastrophic man-made global
warming.
But the climate report, according to the CEI, basically repackages
findings from the "National Assessment on Climate Change," a document
earlier disavowed by the Bush White House.

lawsuit filed by CEI counsel Christopher Homner on behalf of Republican
lawmakers Sen. James Inhofe, Oklahoma Republican and Reps. Jo Ann Emerson
of Missouri and Joe Knollenberg of Michigan, among other parties.
The White House contended the global-warming assessment was "not policy
positions or formal expressions of the U.S. government."
But now the administration appears to have flip-flopped, putting its
stamp
of approval on the latest climate report sent to the United Nations.
Meanwhile, eleven state attorneys general have seized Uncle Sam's "spooky
tale," as the Cr1 counsel calls the report, "to file lawsuits demanding
