Comment:

America has lost more than 55,000 factories, 6,000,000
manufacturing jobs and accumulated Trade Deficits of more than
12 Trillion Dollars since Bush administration. Last year we
had a Trade Deficit of almost 800 Billion Dollars. All based
on the Past Administration Fraud and dishonest reports. The
problem was GHG Regulations 2009, Dec EPA published its
Endangerment and Cause or Contribute Findings for Greenhouse
Gases Under Section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act. As the
primary scientific basis EPA relied heavily upon IPCCs AR4 ,in
developing the TSD , concerns were raised about EPAs
acceptance and use of this information . IPPC suffering heavy
criticism for its use of information that had not been
rigorously checked. And author of Jones of CRU showed asking
Some to be deleted , The administers the Freedom of
Information Act said the University of East Anglia had broken
the rules in its handling of an FOI request in May 2008. 2009,
in Nov. subsequent to publication of EPAs proposed finding,
approximately 1,000 e-mails were hacked from the servers of
the University of East Anglia CRU , in England, and made
public. The content of the e-mails caused a challenge the work
of CRU and the conclusions of the IPCC. University of East

Anglia CRU , in England staff have been heavily involved in
the IPCC assessments, and CRUs work has been used by IPCC in
construction of future climate projections. April 2010 study,
chaired by Professor Ron Oxburgh, examined; noted that there
were unresolved questions relating to the availability of
environmental datasets. Russell report found that both CRU
scientists and the University of East Anglia failed to display
the proper degree of openness regarding their research. EPA
inspector General, in 2011, Procedural Review , found Many
issues EPA did not follow in EPAs Greenhouse Gases
Endangerment Finding Data Quality Processes Report No.
11-P-0702 September 26, 2011 NOTE: Few realize that the IPPC
does not produce its own original scientific research on
global warming so EPA Relied on reports that originated form a
college staff in England. Sound national and international
environmental policies must be based on a solid foundation of
transparent scientific, technical, and economic understanding
of the relevant facts. Regulation with back up reports using
words such as if, might, could, probably, perhaps, expected,
projected or modeled - and many involve such deep dreaming, or
ignorance of scientific facts and principles, that they are
akin to nonsense and a manufactured consensus and engineered
science. 2011 July report by Government Accountability Office
(GAO) is a government agency that provides auditing,
evaluation, and investigative services Fostering Quality
Science at EPA: Needs Reform; and found : EPAs laboratory
activities remain fragmented and largely uncoordinated. EPA
has not undertaken an agency wide, coordinated approach to
managing its scientific efforts and related facilities as part
of an interrelated portfolio of facilities. EPA had failed to
implement the recommendations of five independent evaluations
of EPAs scientific and laboratory management since 1992. GAO
found that Testimony from a recent participant in CASACs
particulate matter National Ambient Air Quality Standard panel
stated that the CASAC process is flawed, narrow, and possibly
ethically questionable. 2012 Annual Plan of the EPAs Office of
Inspector General OIG raises significant concerns about
science and technology activities at the Agency, stating that
questions exist as to whether EPA is collecting the right
data, of sufficient quality, and is making that data
available. In terms of EPAs regulatory process, the Inspector
General (IG) further states that many policies are out of date
or are based on outdated science and technology. GAO found As
part of the update on its High-Risk Program, highlighting
concerns about EPA politicization of science, saying that in
recent years, concerns have been raised regarding the
perceived politicization of science in agency decisions. In
2009, GAO added EPAs handling of toxic chemicals through the
Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) to its list of areas
at high risk for waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement. EPA
needs to better emphasize the development and use of
environmental indicators and informationas a mechanism for
prioritizing its allocation of limited resources, and that the
lack of complete and comprehensive environmental information
on air or water quality, for example, makes it difficult for
EPA to evaluate the success of its policies and programs.
Several concerns have been raised about the make-up,
transparency, and rigor provided by EPA advisory panels like
the SAB and the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee CASA.
GAO has found that many advisory committee members are not

appropriately screened for potential conflicts of interest or
points of view.
