Glider Truck Coda: Garbage from the North Carolina Department of Justice

JunkScience.com readers will call the glider truck saga chronicled closely here. Three-plus years after I FOIA-ed the North Carolina Department of Justice about its involvement in the scandalous cabal against glider trucks, I finally got a response. It’s mostly nothing except for the image below used in the NCDOJ’s propaganda against glider trucks. That’s not a glider truck. Not even close. The caption is another total lie — except for the part about Chinese-owned Volvo and Chinese-made Mack lobbying to have gliders killed. The criminality committed by government at every level is just unbelievable.

Milloy lectures National Academy of Sciences panel on biological plausibility of PM2.5 killing people

Here is my oral testimony to the NAS panel on Assessing Causality from a Multidisciplinary Evidence Base for National Ambient Air Quality Standards, a panel chock full of EPA PM2.5 research grantees including the infamous Francesca Dominici, Armistead G. Russell (EPA grantee crony, $23,319,799 in grants), Charles Driscoll (EPA grantee crony, $7,437,921 in grants) and Joel Kaufman (EPA grantee-crony. $55,411,682 in grants and illegal human experimenter). My testimony is below.

NRC denies petition to get rid of the LNT

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has denied a petition to abolish the linear no-threshold model for cancer from radiation exposure. Here is the petition. Here is the NRC denial and rule-making docket (i.e., public comments). Here is Robert Hargraves op-ed (Web | PDF) in today’s Wall Street Journal about the ongoing travesty of the LNT.

Biden EPA science appointee on leave from Communist Chinese university; Congress investigating

Biden EPA science official and air quality hack Chris Frey is on leave from a Communist Chinese university — and we’re not talking the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (purchases by China for $350 million in 2014). Here is the FoxNews.com story. Here is the letter from Congress. Before Democrats took control of the House in 2019, Congress was investigating whether Communist China was paying green groups to wreck the US economy by advocating for more EPA regulations.

Enstrom calls on NAS to drop junk scientist Dominici from air quality committee

The National Academy of Sciences has convened (for money) at EPA’s “request” a committee of ‘researchers’ in a panel called, “Assessing Causality from a Multidisciplinary Evidence Base for National Ambient Air Quality Standards.” Despite what the NAS says, the purpose of this committee is to help the Biden EPA resurrect the PM2.5 junk science that the Obama EPA used to railroad the coal industry and that the Trump EPA abandoned. Enstrom’s complaint addresses the dishonest Francesca Dominici. But other committee members (really the entire committee) need to go as well, including Armistead G. Russell (EPA grantee crony, $23,319,799 in grants), Charles Driscoll (EPA grantee crony, $7,437,921 in grants) and Joel Kaufman (EPA grantee-crony. $55,411,682 in grants and illegal human experimenter). We’ve scene this charade before, when the EPA hired NAS to whitewash its illegal human experiments. Now the EPA is paying the NAS to prime the walls for EPA to paper over the Trump EPA’s throttling of the agency’s PM2.5 science fraud.

EPA Peer Review: The Best Rubberstamping Cronies Money Can Buy

Now that the Biden EPA has rolled back the conflict-of-interest standards imposed by the Trump EPA on the agency’s outside scientific peer review panels, it has gone back to its old practice of stocking its peer review boards with agency research grant-recipient cronies who can be counted on to rubber-stamp whatever EPA wants to do. The Biden EPA most recently announced the particulate matter (PM) subpanel for the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC). As per below, 17 of the 22 members are current and/or former EPA grantees. The amounts associated with them as principal investigators are shown. Note the largest grantee (Lianne Sheppard, recipient of $60,032,782 in EPA grants) is, naturally, the chairman. Sheppard is also the chairman of the main CASAC panel as well as a member of EPA’s Science Advisory Board (SAB), a separate outside review panel. The Biden EPA needs a reliable multi-purpose rubber-stamper and that is Sheppard, an activist who sued the Trump EPA because it instituted conflict of interest rules under which she was ineligible to rubber-stamp agency wishes.
