The Wall Street Journal editorialized last week about the Biden Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) move to rollback anti-fraud rules for proxy advisory firms that had been issued by the Trump SEC.The only problem with the WSJ editorial is that it provided no specific example to make its case. Fortunately, my letter in today’s WSJ does just that regarding my 2020 climate greenwashing shareholder proposal filed with ExxonMobil. Please support JunkScience.com!
Biden SEC chairman Gary Gensler wants to give proxy advisor firms carte blanche to commit fraud to advance the left’s political agenda.
My letter to Biden EPA administrator Michael Regan about his stacking of the EPA’s Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee panel with EPA grant-recipient cronies.
EPA has filled the seven-seat Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee with five agency grant recipients. The CASAC chairman will be the University of Washington’s Lianne Sheppard, the top recipient of agency grants ($65+ million). In 2018, Sheppard sued the Trump administration after being excluded from being an independent EPA science advisor because she was an agency grant recipient. The four agency grant recipients included on the “independent”CASAC board include: Michelle Bell ($29 million), James Boylan ($229,770), Judith Chow ($449,456) and Mark Frampton ($36+ million). EPA completely ignored the recommendations of JunkScience.com, instead opting for a totally corrupt and rubber-stamping CASAC. EPA’s CASAC will now be led by someone who gets paid to do research for EPA then gets to review and rubberstamp her and her colleagues’ (also EPA grant recipients) work. No corruption here. Move on. Support JunkScience.com to fight back against this outrageous fraud.

EPA has announced that out will review the PM2.5 NAAQS that the Trump EPA decided to leave unchanged from the Obama EPA setting at 12 micrograms/m3. This marks the start of the Biden EPA’s bid to go back to the fraudulent use of PM2.5 as its most potent regulatory weapon and portends all sport of bad regulations, including backdoor climate regulation.
