Biden White House fires all EPA science advisers; Science fraudsters to make triumphant return
The Biden EPA fired its outside science advisers (both CASAC and SAB) today and reversed the Trump anti-corruption policy of not allowing current EPA grantees to review and rubber-stamp their own work and EPA’s agenda. The e-mail is below. Background on the Trump effort is here. The order most likely came from White House climate fuhrer Gina McCarthy, versus bobblehead EPA administrator Michael Regan. Oh yeah, EPA is supposed to be an “independent” agency.
New York City/New Jersey subway PM2.5 levels 77 times greater than EPA standards; No bodies found
A new study reports on PM2.5 (soot/dust) levels in subway stations. The New York City and New Jersey PATH system had a mean level of 779 micrograms per cubic meter — 65 times higher than the EPA’s outdoor air standard of 12 micrograms per cubic meter. The highest level measured (1,499 micrograms per cubic meter) is almost 50% higher than the worst air in any Chinese city that we know about. Onboard air quality PM2.5 measurements were lower but still on average 30 times higher than EPA standards. In 2018, PATH carried 81.7 million passengers, about 280,000 per week day. Keeping in mind that the EPA says that any exposure to PM2.5 can kill you within hours, where are the bodies? Why aren’t governments calling for an immediate shutdown of subway service? Recall that Harvard researchers just claimed this week that PM2.5 kills more than 8 million people per year and much lower outdoor air exposures. PM2.5 is the biggest demonstrable science fraud of our time.
Biden EPA nominee can’t answer say what he means by ‘immediate’
North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality chief Michael Regan, Joe Biden’s nominee to be U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) chief, was interviewed in August 2018 by WBTV (Charlotte, NC) about when he was going to take action against chemical company Chemours, then illegally discharging chemicals into the Cape Fear River. The interview stalled when Regan, promising “immediate action” wouldn’t define for the reporter what he meant by “immediate.” The full interview is here. The “immediate” clip is below.
HUGE WINNING… EPA will not tighten PM2.5 air quality standards
JunkScience.com and friends — including Steve Milloy, Jim Enstrom, Stan Young, John Dunn and others — have worked for more than 20 years to achieve this result. A Biden administration will undoubtedly try to overturn this decision. So we will have to continue fighting the PM2.5 fraudsters. Meantime, this is a BIG win.

California Governor Newsom makes false claim about children, asthma and tailpipe emissions
In announcing his legally dubious ban of gasoline-powered cars in California by 2035, Gov. Newsom stated, “You deserve to have a car that doesn’t give your kids asthma.” JunkScience.com readers will recall that EPA-funded UCLA and USC researchers in the 2000s to spray diesel exhaust up the noses of children as young as 10 years old in order to see what happened. Not a wheeze was what happened. Nothing that comes out of tail pipe causes or triggers asthma. EPA has much clinical research on actual humans demonstrating this. The results of these (illegal) studies are non-public except to the extent that they have been discovered and previously exposed by JunkScience.com through the Freedom of Information Act.
Harvard fraudsters use Obama EPA money to attack Trump administration with PM2.5-COVID19 study
The recent “Harvard Howler” trying to link PM2.5 with COVID-19 deaths was funded by money Harvard received from the Obama EPA.
WINNING: EPA won’t tighten the PM2.5 standard
A big win for all who have worked on this. We’re not done yet. But a big win nonetheless. You can read the wailings of the PM2.5 fraudsters in the New York Times coverage (Web | PDF). Incredible that the fraudsters launched their PM2.5-coronavirus study as a last minute “Hail Mary.” Also note the fake news headline — “Trump Disregards Advice.” In fact, EPA’s CASAC advised Administrator Wheeler that there was no scientific basis for tightening the standards.
EPA staff sabotages fuel economy rollback
So the Trump administration finally finished rolling back the pointlessly expensive and impossible-to-achieve 2012 Obama administration fuel economy standards. Great. But did EPA staff sabotage the rulemaking to favor certain legal challenge by environmentalists? You betcha.
