Hank Johnson was exactly who came to mind when I posted the link about Rohrabacher

Johnson isn't sitting on a science advisory committee though. Why is Rohrabacher sitting on science oversight committees?

-------------------------
...

How could Rohrbacher get elected?

Mind blowing.

Seemed like not a totally unreasonable question, off on years maybe but without being there to explore one will never know.

And on the second one if you are a Christian does that mean you can't relate some of science to the biblical teachings?

Romans 8;18-32 John 3;16-18

For years, the EPA has relied heavily on several non-government advisory boards because it is required to hear an advisory board's advice before enacting new regulations. The EPA is not, however, required to heed a board's advice. According to the Federal Advisory Committee Act rules, all advisory boards are required to be balanced and unbiased. Historically, the majority of committee members have come from academia, with some coming from consulting and activist groups. Very few members have come from industry.

One of the EPA's most prominent advisory boards is the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC). In 1996, the EPA wanted to pass new restrictive regulations on emissions under the guise that these rules were needed to save the lives of thousands of Americans from dangerous air pollution. The problem was that the CASAC countered the EPA's opinion, saying that research findings did not support the agency's conclusion. Ignoring the advice, the EPA went ahead with enacting its costly regulations anyway.

Now here's where the corruption problem begins to rear its ugly head. Ecofascists, frustrated with the independent nature of these advisory committees, worked to stack the deck in their favor. By the mid 2000s two-thirds of all CASAC members were grantees of the EPA. During Obama's two terms, the number of grantees increased significantly, with hundreds of millions of dollars in research grants being awarded to these "independent" advisers. As The Wall Street Journal describes it, "In effect, EPA-funded researchers are empowered to review and approve their own work in order to rubber-stamp the EPA's regulatory agenda. This is all done under the guise of 'independence.'"

By reforming this practice, Pruitt is not working to quash science. On the contrary, he's promoting it by dismantling a rigged system.

Question demonstrates that he either ignores or does not understand anything that has been told to him countless times.

The guy is a tobacco and chemical industry shill that has been put in charge of toxicology regs.

Fox guarding the hen house.

You don't go to a polluter and ask them if they think they should stop polluting.

You should consult with them to find out how much some regulation will cost. But you don't put them in a position of deciding what is and is not pollution.

Wasn't long ago that the righties had joined the whackadoodle CoCheech left in lamenting that Obama had handed the FDA and USDA over to Monsanto shills.

Now they are telling us that the regulatory bodies should be run by shills.

Spankit attempted the standard ignorant chumpfdirt anti science and technology spin move. again.
Act informed and intelligent for a moment. And cut immediately to the dimfo, alt breit agenda.
Best part of the original post was the link to dufus fatex jones and the kidnapped kids on mars. Who were rescued from hilary's pedophile sex slave ring in the basement of the pizza place.
duuuuhhhhh........

It's a democratic hoax

I don't know what a reasonable question is, but I know one that makes you look like an idiot.

Science "stupid" is usually overwhelmed by science "Okay, whatever...unless there is money/convenience/fear involved!" these days.

Yeah no money involved in eco science or carbon credits or EPA

No money in insurance and politics, so what's your point?


-------------------------
I was right.

Sarcasm, you look up definition, it may help you to follow along

mmmmbaahhaaahaaa, look up: "stupid, dumfuk, dimfo wars science denier". not there? Well try:
duuuhhhhh......used in the general lexicon, should be in there somewhere

It's a democratic hoax

I came back at you with more of the same. Perhaps you should be the one to look up the definition.
