Labour's AGW Faith Causes Brown-out

It took a year for a honeymoon to turn to divorce:

Gordon Brown now leads the most unpopular Labour government in history,
according to a new "poll of polls" for The Independent. Only 17 per cent
of people now approve of the Brown government's record, while 70 per
cent disapprove.

Laurie Oakes warned Kevin Rudd of parallels.

About ReutersWhite House in climate change "cover up"
Tue Jul 8, 2008 by SphereBy Richard Cowan

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A leading U.S. Senate Democrat accused the Bush
administration on Tuesday of a "cover-up" aimed at stopping the
Environmental
Protection Agency from tackling greenhouse emissions.

"This cover-up is being directed from the White House and the office of the
vice
president," said Sen. Barbara Boxer, the California Democrat who chairs the
Senate Environment and Public Works Committee.

At issue is a preliminary finding by the EPA last December that "greenhouse
gases may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public welfare," according
to
Jason Burnett, the agency's former associate deputy administrator who
appeared
at a news conference with Boxer.

Such a finding would be an early step toward government regulation aimed at
protecting public health.

Boxer said that unless EPA documents were released, it was likely that
within
the next two weeks her committee would try to subpoena the material. She did
not
know whether Republicans on the panel would block the effort.

Burnett, who resigned on June 9, told Boxer's committee the White House
tried
pressuring him to retract an e-mail in which he detailed the finding.
Burnett
said he refused.

Democrats say that since then, the EPA finding has been left "in limbo."
White House spokesman Tony Fratto said many federal agencies, departments
and
offices normally review any initiatives being developed to check for
"factual
inaccuracies" or "discordant" policies.
