received last week from the Office of White House counsel, its 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.
The administration distanced itself from the assessment when settling a
lawsuit
filed by CEI counsel Christopher Horner 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 CEI counsel calls the report, "to file lawsuits demanding the most
expensive regulatory undertaking in U.S. history, given that the U.S. now
'admits' it."
