New emails obtained from New York state show the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) giving new meaning to the “C” in Northeast States Coordinated Air Use Management (NESCAUM).

In June, JunkScience.com broke the news that EPA career staff and Volvo Trucks had worked cooperatively on a rigged glider truck emissions test. New e-mails obtained via FOIA indicate origin of the rigged testing idea.
The characters in today’s drama are:
With your $150 (or more), the American Association for the Advancement (sic) of Science will fight for secret science at EPA.
No, California will not be destroyed without the Obama fuel economy standards. In fact, it will improve.
So now we know why Cummins-engine-using Volvo Trucks and the EPA Deep Staters (DEEPA?) in its Michigan emissions lab didn’t want to test Cummins engines against glider engines.
This is the case about the EPA’s junk science-fueled Mercury Air Toxics Standard (MATS) — the rule that broke the back of the coal industry.

Keying off the upcoming summit with North Korea, the New York Times’ Coral Davenport attempts an extensive hatchet job on science under Trump. Nowhere in the article does she disclose that she is married to (as of last year, anyway) “an intelligence analyst at the Energy Department in Washington, where he focuses on foreign nuclear weapons programs.” What a co-inky-dink. I love New York Times wedding announcements. It’s how I got the Washington Post‘s Juliet Eilperin reassigned from her environmental beat a few years ago. Here is my line-by-line commentary.

Emails obtained via the Freedom of Information Act confirm that China-owned Volvo Trucks conspired with Obama-holdover EPA career staff to destroy the glider truck industry. This should also be embarrassing news for reporters like the New York Times’ Eric Lipton and the Los Angeles Times’ Evan Halper who wittingly or unwittingly have been propagandizing for Volvo against gliders under the guise of journalism.
Thank you, Administrator Scott Pruitt — greatest EPA chief ever.

Here is my line-by-line of Evan Halper’s error-filled report in the Los Angeles Times.
