EPA under fire for concealing dubious "scientific data"

Posted by Non_mooching_artist 11 years ago to Government

I found this passage to be particularly damning, a well as conveying the whole tone perpetuated by the EPA.
“There is no watchdog now inside the EPA,” laments Steve Milloy, the former editor of JunkScience.com, which has posted a fact sheet that debunks the EPA’s PM 2.5 claims. “Whatever the EPA wants it gets. The agency is allowed to run rampant. There was a time when OIRA use to have stopping power, but now it’s just ignored. OIRA has become a rubber stamp.”

Recently had a high-position EPA person in my office. He said that America needs to cut emissions/smog due to the increasing childhood asthma. I didn't open my mouth to point out that over the past 40 years our air has gotten cleaner.

It doesn't matter...

  They bang that drum incessantly. It's pathetic, but the Sheeple eat it up like manna.

Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Lord Acton

The EPA shouldn't exist.

  Agreed. A dubious agency at best. A rampant and bloated black hole and dangerously powerful agency in the worst sense.

I am not surprised at all. I get the sarcasm, khalling . LOTS of money to be made with these scams! Bernie Madoff was a joke- what you want is to get your hand in to the public's pockets-
