The Biden EPA reversed a key anti-corruption policy adopted by the Trump EPA.

EPA research grantees can now review and rubber-stamp their own EPA-funded work while posing as 'independent outside science advisers.'

Corrupt!

Batting away some BS:

1. 'Too heavily' means 'any.' Before Trump, industry had essentially zero representation on EPA science advisory boards.

2. There is no such thing as 'consensus' in science.

Batting away more BS.

1. The Biden EPA move is a reversal of a Trump EPA anti-corruption policy. The Biden EPA is returning to science fraud, not scientific integrity.

2. EPA does no climate research. The policy change was implemented 2 years before coronavirus.

Before the Trump EPA implemented its anti-corruption policy, Obama-era EPA 'independent science advisers' had received $200+ million in research grants from the agency... guaranteeing they saw the science just the way EPA wanted them to.

Now, a return to corruption.

Still more BS to bat away.

The Trump anti-corruption policy was not illegal.

The key litigation had been remanded by the DC Circuit back to federal district court for review... and then COVID and the 'election' struck.

1. Tony Cox was one of seven CASAC board members... all with equal votes.

2. Before Cox led EPA's CASAC board, 96% of its members we're EPA grantees.

3. They were paid $200+ million to do research that helped EPA's agenda. Then were allowed to 'peer review' their own work.

Not only appointed by Regan, but purchased via EPA grants (i.e., taxpayer money).

The Biden EPA is returning to the good old days of total science fraud.

Continuing to bat away the BS:

There is no evidence that current levels of ground-level ozone cause any healthe effects whatsoever, including minorities.

Though all EPA-funded clinical research showed this, the corrupt Obama EPA 'independent science advisers' ignored it.

The BS never ends.

There is no scientific evidence that air quality has any effect on COVID outcomes.

This bolster's @chris_c_horner's work showing that EPA might try to backdoor regulate fossil fuel use not by climate regulation but by air quality regulation.

The Biden EPA reversal of the Trump EPA's anti-corruption rule on independent science advisers is the most insidious move the Biden EPA will make.

All Biden EPA 'science' is now guaranteed to be 100% corrupt. @dino_grandoni.
