EPA Rejects Petitions to Reverse Climate Change Endangerment Finding

WASHINGTON, DC, July 29, 2010 (ENS) - The Environmental Protection Agency today turned back 10 petitions from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Commonwealth of Virginia, Peabody Coal and others that asked the agency to rescind its scientific finding that heat-trapping greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare.

In December 2009 the EPA determined that climate change is real, is occurring due to emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities, and threatens human health and the environment. This determination triggers the EPA's authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act.

The petitions to reconsider EPA's Endangerment Finding claim that climate science cannot be trusted, and assert a conspiracy that invalidates the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, and the U.S. Global Change Research Program.

"After months of serious consideration of the petitions and of the state of climate change science," the agency said today that it can find "no evidence" to support these claims.

Assorted assholes from Boeing, McDonald Douglas and other aircraft manufacturers are petitioning scientific findings about gravity.

6. How can you petition a scientific finding?

Because little baby Jesus can make it any way he wants!

Climate Change science cannot be trusted. Don't even get started on Evolution!

But the same science that found their coal and gas, and figured out how to use it, can be trusted. Also the science that brought electricity, the internal combustion engine, the telephone, the computer, plastic, penicillin, aspirin, Viagra, Xanax, and Klonopin. No need to even think about those. (They're OK with little baby Jesus)
