The EPA's latest climate report to the UN violates an agreement with the White House to settle a lawsuit. The report inappropriately cites the discredited National Climate Assessment that the Bush Administration had agreed to withdraw. The lawsuit plaintiffs argue the EPA is ignoring the agreement by using the Assessment in its report. A CEI spokesperson says accepting the Assessment's findings undermines the President's climate policies.

The report relies in part on the discredited National Assessment on Climate Change. As a result of the lawsuit filed in October 2000, the Bush Administration ultimately agreed in September 2001 to withdraw the National Assessment and stated that its unlawfully produced conclusions are "not policy positions or official statements of the U.S. government." EPA has ignored this agreement in issuing its report to the United Nations. "Through Freedom of Information Act inquiries, we learned that the National Assessment was hurriedly slapped together in an incomplete and inaccurate form," said Christopher C. Horner, CET counsel who filed the lawsuit. "The current Climate Action Report inappropriately cites the disgraced National Assessment, in clear violation of the spirit and letter of our agreement with the White House in return for withdrawing our suit." Adds Myron Ebell, director of global warming policy at CET: "The Administration has recognized that the National Assessment is the worst sort of junk science. For the EPA now to accept the National Assessment's findings as valid undermines and contradicts President Bush's global warming policies. The EPA needs to be told that the Clinton Administration is gone and Al Gore did not win the election." The lawsuit against the White House's flawed climate science was brought jointly by CEI, Senator James Inhofe CR-OK), Representatives Joe Knollenberg CR-MI) and Jo Ann Emerson CR-MO), and other non-profit advocacy groups. CEI's pleadings in the case can be found in the docket at the federal District Court for the District of Columbia (CV 00-02383). file://D:SEALRCH_7_28_03_CEQ092_f b9xr'7003ceq.txt 6/16/2006
