Censorship of dissenting voices in the Obama regime is standard procedure.
Hat Tip to News Busters.
The Environmental Protection Agency has threatened two of its own attorneys over a video they posted at YouTube which was highly critical of pending global warming legislation.
This wasn’t the first time the agency came down on its own people for having views contrary to the Obama administration, for in March it suppressed an internal report which challenged the connection between rising temperatures and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
……The Environmental Protection Agency has directed two of its lawyers to makes changes to a YouTube video they posted that is critical of the Obama administration’s climate change policy.
The agency, citing federal policies, told the two lawyers, Laurie Williams and Allan Zabel, who are married and based in San Francisco, that they could mention their E.P.A. affiliation only once; must remove language specifying Mr. Zabel’s expertise and their years of employment with the agency; and must remove an image of the agency’s office in San Francisco.
They have been told that if they do not edit the video to comply with the policy, they could face disciplinary action.

One of the points made by the couple is:
Cap and Trade with offsets presents a false sense of progress and puts money in the pockets of offsets investors.
Guess who that is:
Al Gore is poised to become the world’s first “carbon billionaire,” profiteering from government policies he supports that would direct billions of dollars to the business ventures he has invested in.

Many people are starting to catch on to the “global warming” hoax, and also to the fact that Gore, along with Obama’s EPA, has turned “climate change” into a government racket. It’s trying to cash in on this scare tactic, propped up by junk science:

This cap and trade legislation is just one more nail in the coffin of the U.S. economy. It’s based on false premises and will adversely affect the job industry. That’s the common denominator of every Obama policy.
Even if you do believe that global warming is real, cap and trade will do nothing positive for the environment. On top of that, it will cost us millions of jobs and thousands every year in increased energy prices, not to mention the increased cost of every good we consume. We can not afford for this terrible, misguided legislation to pass. Write your Senators and voice opposition to cap and trade at http://tiny.cc/lvw3W.
