EPA chief Gina McCarthy has a warning to a “small but vocal group of critics” who challenge the EPA’s science: “we’re coming for you.”
“Those critics conjure up claims of ‘EPA secret science’— but it’s not really about EPA science or secrets. It’s about challenging the credibility of world renowned scientists and institutions like Harvard University and the American Cancer Society,” McCarthy stated.
Rep. Sen. David Vitter (LA) and Rep. Lamar Smith (TX) have been pressing the EPA to release their ‘scientific’ data, which McCarthy promised to do, but so far has failed to live up the that promise. Now she is on the attack.
“EPA’s leadership is willfully ignoring the big picture and defending EPA’s practices of using science that is, in fact, secret due to the refusal of the Agency to share the underlying data with Congress and the American public,” said Vitter.
“We’re not asking, and we’ve never asked, for personal health information, and it is inexcusable for EPA to justify billions of dollars of economically significant regulations on science that is kept hidden from independent reanalysis and congressional oversight,” Vitter added.
Environmental Protection Agency administrator Gina McCarthy has issued a warning to Republicans who continue to question the integrity of the agency’s scientific data: we’re coming for you.
McCarthy told an audience at the National Academy of Sciences on Monday morning the agency will go after a “small but vocal group of critics” arguing the EPA is using “secret science” to push costly clean air regulations.
“Those critics conjure up claims of ‘EPA secret science’— but it’s not really about EPA science or secrets. It’s about challenging the credibility of world renowned scientists and institutions like Harvard University and the American Cancer Society,” McCarthy said, according to Politico.
“It’s about claiming that research is secret if researchers protect confidential personal health data from those who are not qualified to analyze it — and won’t agree to protect it,” she added. “If EPA is being accused of ‘secret science’ because we rely on real scientists to conduct research, and independent scientists to peer review it, and scientists who’ve spent a lifetime studying the science to reproduce it — then so be it.”
Republicans Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana and Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas have led the charge on pressing the EPA to make publicly available the scientific data behind its clean air regulations. McCarthy promised she would make such data publicly available during her confirmation process last year. Now her refusal to cough up the data has angered Republicans.
Same meaning today.

The Al Qaeda, the Hamas, and the Muslim Brotherhood are Terrorists and they always were.
The United States should never support and finance Terrorism.

Arrest Barrack Obama for Treason.
No Incumbents.
It was horribly wrong for the EU and the United States and George Soros and the National Endowment for Democracy to create, support, and finance the violence and Terrorism in the Ukraine just as it is wrong for Obama and the CIA to continue to fiance and support the Terrorists in Syria.
Our CIA and Pentagon and National Endowment for Democracy and State Department should not work to determine what type government every nation in the world has through violence, protests, Terrorism, and war.
Shut down NATO, it is nothing but a War Machine.
Give NATO and the Untied States Military Bases all over the world to the sovereign nation they were built in, we can not afford to operate them and we can not continue to support and finance Terrorism and War all over the world, nor should we. The Trillions of Dollars we have spent on this is just wasted. Thousands of years of hate and war have taught each man and woman who can think that hate and war bring only more hate and war.
The CIA and NSA should only investigate and not spread violence, Terrorism, and War all over the world. The NSA should not waste Tax Payer Dollars investigating every person in the Untied States. Shut down the Horribly corrupt IRS, EPA, and Bureau of Land Management. Repeal the horribly unconstitutional laws like the NDAA, Obamacare, the Patriot Act, and the Cyber Security Bill.
End our stupid wars.
It is not so hard, just quit blowing things up and murdering people and bring our troops home.
No Incumbents.
