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.
These people are the best thinker who have to deal with the average person who don’t know $#%&!@* about nothing. These fool will go against what they see just so they won’t have to tell the president that their right on climate issues. When y he ice caps melt and their ass get flooded then they will ask for government help like they always do instead of heeding the scientific warning and taking steps to prevent distaste.
And vise versa.
If this supposed scientific data is for the betterment of the country, then why are they withholding information from Congress and the public – both have a right to know what that study entailed and what it found; especially considering the millions of dollars supposedly spent on this. Making threats appears to be the M.O. surrounding the obama administration..
Oppose opposr
WELL THEN, COME AND GET ME, DARE YOU TO, MOLON LABE BITCH!
DE-FUND THIS AGENCY, AND HANG THE BITCH THAT’S RUNNING IT!
I oppose you. Come and get me.
Defund them.
So, the Global warming/ Climate change crowd is getting desperate to shove their illegitimate carbon tax down our throat via the EPA. Resorting to threats to make you acquiesce to their bull$#%&!@* is astounding. Libtard logic, progressively stupid! The entire government has an abysmal 19% approval rating, they will have zero support for their hollow draconian threats!
Sounds like she has been taking lessons from the IRS and Lois Lerner. Maybe this is the reason that the EPA wants to be able to Garnishee your bank accounts.
