From the Washington Times -

http: //www.washingtontimes.com/national/inbeltway.htmGetting warmer?The Competitive Enterprise Institute in Washington is abuzz about the

letter it received last week from the Office of White House Counsel, its

subject man-made global warming - or lack thereof.

In the letter, the White House denied impropriety surrounding an

Environmental Protection Agency "Climate Action Report' submitted to the

United Nations outlining U.S. positions on catastrophic man-made globalwarming.But the climate report, according to the CEI, basically repackagesfindings from the "National Assessment on Climate Change," a document

earlier disavowed by the Bush White House.The administration distanced itself from the assessment when settling a

lawsuit filed by CET counsel Christopher Horner on behalf of Republican

lawmakers Sen. James Inhofe, Oklahoma Republican and Reps. Jo Ann Emerson

of Missouri and Joe Knollenberg of Michigan, among other parties.

The White House contended the global-warming assessment was "not policy

positions or formal expressions of the U.S. government."

But now the administration appears to have flip-flopped, putting its stamp

of approval on the latest climate report sent to the United Nations.

meanwhile, eleven state attorneys general have seized Uncle Sam's "spooky

tale," as the CET counsel calls the report, "to file lawsuits demanding

the most expensive regulatory undertaking in U.S. history, given that the

U.S. now 'admits' it."
