What does the political leadership of the world's most powerful (and polluting) nation do when they get an email from their own Environmental Protection Agency with news they don't like? Apparently, they refuse to open it.
The White House in December refused to accept the Environmental Protection Agency’s conclusion that greenhouse gases are pollutants that must be controlled, telling agency officials that an e-mail message containing the document would not be opened, senior E.P.A. officials said last week.
The document, which ended up in e-mail limbo, without official status, was the E.P.A.’s answer to a 2007 Supreme Court ruling that required it to determine whether greenhouse gases represent a danger to health or the environment, the officials said.
I tried that once with my credit card bills. It didn't work out so well. I wonder how it will work as a strategy to fight global warming?
(Note: the desert that guy's head is stuck in probably used to be a prairie. Perhaps he's checking to see where all the oil went.)
