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.
Come after me then.
Congress has the purse use it to shut the EPA down for good it is usless to America or any thing that we stand for.
From the top to the bottom the EPA is a nest of sewer rats.
This nation has left it’s elected and appointed leadership do things on their own for so long that they believe they are entitled to do as they wish by touting their accomplishments of things of the past. Likely a past prior to the gridlocked representation we have today. I am not rich, barely middle class but there comes a point of diminishing returns. This nation was at one time about leading the world, about making effective and sustainable change for everyone. Today we are embroiled in gridlock, embroiled in the status quo and the politically correct. It is time for new representation, it is time to step forward and regain what this nation has lost. We are paralyzed by everything that happens and the gridlocked representation can do nothing to stop, or fix these issues. These people we are speaking about are the best and the brightest this nation has to offer. They have large academic accomplishments, they are practicing lawyers etc. They are what the rest of us would consider the best of what this nation has to offer? Time for a reboot to our representation before this devolves into a war between haves and have nots, Each day if you look at what is portrayed you are seeing an implosion of all we once held as great and good. It is now a world laughing stock, a sad joke globally. We have been humiliated, and led about. Why do you think the Jihad is so strong today? Why are all the enemies of the USA coming forward more enbolden then ever. We pose little threat. We cut our military-the best trained in the world, we are like a great bull in a pen gettting speared from every direction. Eventually the bull will die unable to focus on the enemy so he will be ineffective. Wake up sheeple. see this for what it really is and take a stand for what we stood for. Just saying.
