UPDATE: It seems the report struck at nerve at EPA.

epa are not to be believed and as they say - the American people know better. Yes we do and I would of fired you yesterday for that comment.

Here’s the “fudge factor” (notice [he] actually called it that in his REM statement):
‘yrloc=[1400,findgen(19)*5.+1904]
‘valadj=[0.,0.,0.,0.,0.,-0.1,-0.25,-0.3,0.,-0.1,0.3,0.8,1.2,1.7,2.5,2.6,2.6,2.6,2.6,2.6]*0.75 ; fudge factor
‘These 2 lines of code establish a 20-element array (yrloc) comprising the year 1400 (base year, but not sure why needed here) and 19 years between 1904 and 1994 in half-decade increments. Then the corresponding “fudge factor” (from the valadj matrix) is applied to each interval. As you can see, not only are temperatures biased to the upside later in the century (though certainly prior to 1964) but a few mid-century intervals are being biased slightly lower. That, coupled with the post-1930 restatement we encountered earlier, would imply that in addition to an embarrassing false decline experienced with their MXD [tree-ring proxies] after 1960 (or earlier), CRU’s “divergence problem” also includes a minor false incline after 1930. And the former apparently wasn’t a particularly well-guarded secret, although the actual adjustment period remained buried beneath the surface.

The EPA are just useful and cheerful Brown shirts.

Yet a number of scientists — and the United Nations — have looked at the history of storms and concluded that they cannot be blamed on climate change.
Roger Pielke, an environmental scientist at the University of Colorado who has studied decades of U.S. storm data, told a Senate committee last year: “It is misleading and just plain incorrect to claim that disasters associated with hurricanes, tornadoes, floods or droughts have increased on climate time scales either in the United States or globally. It is further incorrect to associate the increasing costs of disasters with the emission of greenhouse gases.”
Jeff Kueter, president of the George C. Marshall Institute, a nonprofit that assesses scientific issues that affect public policy, said the report does not adhere to CNA’s creed of “absolute objectivity.”

“The report is a self-fulfilling prophecy,” said Mr. Kueter, who believes climate change impact on national security is tenuous. “The authors begin with the belief that the impacts of climate change are negative, and from that only bad consequences can flow. The report is not an objective treatment of the validity of the scientific claims or the veracity of the connections between environmental issues and security concerns.”
Even the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a global warming advocate, said in its latest report that there is “low confidence” in any long-term increase in cyclone and hurricane activity. It also said there is “low confidence” in increased tornadoes and hailstorms.
David Kreutzer, an energy economics and climate change researcher at the Heritage Foundation, said the CNA report is based on some projections that have proved way off base.
“The report paints a picture of a future pocked with climate disasters, which is likely to be true because we have always had climate disasters,” Mr. Kreutzer said. “Even with no increase in floods, droughts, hurricanes or tornadoes — no increase is what the IPCC says we have observed so far — the future will have plenty. The military should be ready for them but should not blame them on climate change.”
He said the CNA relied on Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change models that “have proven embarrassingly inaccurate. In fact, instead of providing narrower and more certain projections, the projections have been getting further and further from the actual observed temperatures.”

The UN, Mikhail Gorbachev, Jacques Chirac, and other world-government wannabes are plotting to establish nothing less than a global, bureaucratic-centralist dictatorship under the pretext that it is necessary to 'Save The Planet'.

Ian Wishart's book demonstrates that there is not the slightest scientific reason for the new, quasi-religious belief that The Planet needs Saving. The new religion is merely an excuse for world government. World government will not, repeat not, be democratic government.

I'll throw another reason on the table. Extortion by special interest groups. I had to go to a City Council meeting last week. While I was waiting for them to address the issue that I came for, I watched a proposal by a company that wanted to open a business in the City. When they completed their presentation, the floor was open for comments about it. The first was a group who wanted to know how much pollution they would create and how much money were they going to donate to "environmental charities"? The second group wanted to know how many women and minorities they were going to hire and how much money were they going to donate to "civic charities"? It went on with a few more groups including the local unions. All of these groups had one thing in common. They all wanted something and if they didn't get it, they had lawyers that would make it too expensive for that company to open it's business.

As the Arab noted - The US and EU are responsible. For decades they have allowed and even encouraged the Saudi dictatorship to spread their
filthy wahabi, salafi, takfiri ideology. This will come back to haunt them.

And the mic neo cons are in still in ecstacy stealing our tax dollars for animals.
40 percent of our children are in poverty now from these parasites.

Press TV is the mouthpiece of Iran's Ayatollah Khamenei, who is
providing weapons and troops to Bashar al-Assad to inflict industrial
strength torture, mutilation, rape and extermination on innocent
Syrians. Almost everything that appears on the PressTv web site is
"hate America and the West" ideology. Also, Iran is Persian, not
Arab.

According to the consensus forecasts, growth will probably average about 3.3% for the final three quarters of 2014 and 3% in 2015, compared with a 2.2% average since the recession ended.
