The Environmental Protection Agency is about to make it a lot harder to use legitimate scientific and medical studies in crafting environmental policy. According to a report published Monday by the New York Times, the agency is expanding its proposed "Strengthening Transparency in Regulatory Science" rule in a way that could completely dismantle how the agency uses scientific studies. It's the latest salvo in the agency's war on the exact thing it's supposed to protect — the environment.
I guess if you don’t believe the science, it makes sense you would direct the EPA to take steps to ignore it.
