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.
ABOLISH the EPA!
Be careful…God is coming for you soon
Here’s another NAZI for prison.
This agency has gone rogue and needs to be dismantled now! They have way too much power. Time the people take that power back. “F” the fricken EPA.
Must have learned their strong armed tactics from Mr. Obama!
Like you said very sore loser’s. The whold Dem’s are nothing but loser’s. That’s all they will ever be.
Well she better get to Vegas as there are scientists from around the world there right now exposing the EPA’s political science with true verified by independent peers and published in the scientific journal science.
The whole world knows the fraud and why now. Why do think the G33, EU and Canada have pulled out of the U.N. Climate change garbage and or the Kyoto agreement and taken their money with them?
The problem with the truth is you cannot change that.
All I can say is if they mess with the Bull, they will get the horn.
Wake-up Folks!
Why is this news who cares
Tell the HE BITCH to come on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
