Climategate scandal will have no effect
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs is denying suggestions that the timing of the Environmental Protection Agency's decision to regulate carbon dioxide as a dangerous pollutant had anything to do with President Obama's upcoming appearance at the Copenhagen global warming summit. After all, Obama can now tell the summit that his administration will crack down on carbon dioxide emissions even if Congress fails pass a cap-and-trade bill.
At today's briefing, one reporter said the timing of the EPA decision "looks politically convenient." Gibbs responded that the EPA decision was set in motion by a 2007 Supreme Court decision, Massachusetts v. EPA, and had nothing to do with the president's upcoming trip. "The timing is based on the fact that the first step of this process is being completed," Gibbs said.
Later, another reporter tried again. "On the EPA issue, will the negotiators who are there now and President Obama when he arrives next week not mention the fact that if legislation to cut greenhouse gases does not come through the Senate next year, that they have this in their hand as a backup?" the reporter asked.
"Again&hellipthat process was set in motion by the Supreme Court's ruling on a lawsuit in 2007," Gibbs responded.
"But it's nice to have the EPA in your back pocket," the reporter said.
"Again, this was set in motion, what, more than -- almost two years ago," Gibbs said. "This was set by a court two years ago."
Gibbs also said the Climategate email scandal will have no effect on Obama's push in Copenhagen. When asked whether the scandal "should slow the momentum in any way, shape, or form?" Gibbs responded, "It shouldn't, because the science is clear."
"And settled?" Gibbs was asked.
"And settled."
Obviously the Science was settled on a lie. They have more or less admitted that now.
There you go. Well done.
I’m with ya’.
You will find much info about that decision.
LIARS! The so-called “scientists” lied. The politicians lied. The head of EPA Browner lied. The media lied. They are all liars. Face it...we are surrounded by liars in power. Resist. Resist. Resist.
The list, ping

We were going to raise your taxes, take your freedom and take luxury trips to Denmark anyway. :)
Yeah, and I’ve got a certificate of live birth for one U.S. president clenched in my fist.
Right, after the next election and the Socialists, Communists and Democratic leadership are out of office we need to totally clean house.”
I disagree. I don’t believe they would intentionally be destroying this country if they thought they’d be voted out on their azzes in 10 and 12. The question is, what do they have planned that is going to prevent us from “cleaning house”?
Gibbs is a world class liar, that is for certain.
Go figure.
The lying needs to stop. Or maybe it will have to be stopped.
What these idiots don’t realize is that C02 is vital to life on earth. Without if the planet would be a giant snowball.
Unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats writing law is one of the primary traits of a dictatorship. Congress or the courts can no more give law-making power to bureaucrats than obuma can give his war-making power to Bill Ayers. Our Declaration of Independence devotes several points in the grievances concerning the illegal law-making power of the British Crown bureaucrats.
The entire federal government is criminal and a fraud.
It’s time for states to stand up to these nazi bureaucrats and challenge any so-called “law” under the data quality act. If that doesn’t work, states need to harass, arrest and imprison federal bureaucrats for violating state sovereignty.
Don't be fooled. They are smarter than that & cunning like a fox. They thought they found a "vehicle" in Global Warming in which they could finally control the world's population. They know damn well this is a lie & a fraud being foisted upon us. Christ warns us of it in Revelation. One World Government is coming whether we like it or not, (just like Rockefeller said) I'm not saying *we* shouldn't resist...but the next generation(s) of indoctrinated, ignorant & naive citizens will conform to their evil plot. I'd hoped I'd be long gone before I would see it unfold, but that train is approaching at break-neck speed thanks to FAUXbama. He hasn't even been in office for a year yet, and look at the damage done, for G*d sssaykes!!
That’s silly to claim there is no linkage.
