Comments of the Center for Science and Public Policy on EPA’s Proposed Endangerment Finding (Part 2)

The Center for Science and Public Policy submitted the June 26, 2008 testimony of Roger A. Pielke, Sr., Ph. D. (Part 2) to the House Subcommittee on Energy and Air Quality on EPA’s Proposed Endangerment Finding.

Dr. Pielke documents numerous instances of bias in the IPCC and CCSP reports, including conflicts of interest and the substantial body of scientific data ignored by the authors of these reports concerning the surface temperature record and forcing effects. “The lack of independence by contributors, especially review editors and lead authors, demonstrates a fatal flaw in meeting the Federal Information Quality Act requirements that EPA must comply with in the Endangerment Finding.”
