Following allegations that the EPA "suppressed" an internal document that was skeptical of climate change, several Fox News figures have advanced the document's false claim -- previously repeated by CBS -- that, in Fox News host Steve Doocy's words, "for the last 11 years, temperatures had been dropping." In fact, Doocy's claim simply is not true.

I love that graph. It puts it into perspective.

See those bars are the far right? See how it's been cooler for a few years at the very very end?

This is what many wingnuts base their uneducated arguments on as proof GW does not exist....because global temp increases do not follow a straight line. Therefore they are right and 95% of Climatologist who study GW are wrong.......LOL

95% of climatologists?
More like 95% of the media not giving people like yourself all the information.

They are not saying climate change isn't happening. They are saying they don't think it's strictly due to carbon dioxide.

Big difference there.

Your so called report was not a report but the opinion of an economist at the EPA not involved in Global Warming science..

Maybe tommorow Hannity will give you another fake "outrage of the day"....LOL

Doocy has to be the big story; that's what Media Matters says.

Have you seen this 98 page "opinion". I have and this is not an opinion piece. Go, look it over for yourself and decide.

This is a draft report, with data, references, etc.
This guy has been with the EPA for 38 years and has a physics degree.

Look, the EPA got caught with their pants down and are dragging this poor guy throught the mud to make him look bad and them look good.

If this draft was full of lies, then the EPA should have had no worries about releasing it for review..right ? A paper full of lies wouldn't last long in peer review.

Don't always take what you read about at face value.

This guy has a Masters and PhD and has been with the EPA for 38 years.
Some are making this guy out to be the equivalent of the mailroom boy.
