US Lawmakers Demand Probe Into Claims EPA Suppressed CO2 Study
By Ian Talley, Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- Republican lawmakers are demanding an investigation into claims that the Environmental Protection Agency suppressed a staff-prepared study that argues against the agency's proposal that greenhouse gases are a danger to public health. Besides asking for an Inspector General investigation, lawmakers are also asking the agency to re-open the controversial rulemaking to allow inclusion of the study. The Competitive Enterprise Institute, or CEI, last week released an 85-page scientific study authored by two EPA staff that undercuts the agency's " endangerment" decision, as well as several emails that show the agency rejected inclusion of the report in its rulemaking process.Obama's Proposed Fuel Economy Rules
