 ::: The EPA is a government agency. By definition, what it does is political. Did you seriously think the EPA was going to change its decision based upon a few emails? I don't think anyone who has followed the subject thinks that was a remote possibility. There may be other valid reasons to reconsider the ill-advised notion that a government agency should regulate  without so much as a law passed, but no one who even remotely has paid attention thinks a that a handful of emails were going to sway the decision, Surely you don't think that was possible, do you? Sorry for straying - one more time, debating the contents isn't improving the encyclopedia, unless someone makes a credible case that a decision by a single government agency only tangentially related to the CRU incident somehow deserves prominent mention.
