Politicized EPA
Written by Brian Garst, Posted in Energy and the Environment
The Environmental Protection Agency has significant autonomy and regulatory authority. It is practically a lawmaking body unto itself. This is problematic, as it is obviously not an elected body. It’s made worse by the fact that EPA is also heavily politicized.
Dr. Alan Carlin has become a thorn in the side of global warming fanatics by insisting that the EPA look at the actual science behind global warming. It was not good enough, he argued, to accept at face value the reports of political organizations like the United Nations.
Now, the EPA is trying to shut down the office in which Dr. Carlin works.
