I was sorely disappointed but not too surprised when I learned the EPA based its "findings" almost entirely on the work done by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change-- or the IPCC. I have no problem with much of the science produced by the IPCC scientists, but I have a real problem with the way that science is summarized by the political leaders at the IPCC and by the conclusions drawn by those same political leaders in the IPCC's Summary for Policymakers, which is not a science document. It becomes immediately evident that the EPA relies heavily on these political summaries and conclusions rather than actual science produced by the IPCC because we now have abundant proof that a wide gulf exists between what the science indicates and what the political leaders of the IPCC pretend that it indicates.
