Trump’s EPA scraps air pollution science review panels


Andrew Wheeler, the acting chief of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), yesterday fired a panel of scientific experts charged with assisting the agency's latest review of air quality standards for particulate matter. He also scrapped plans to form a similar advisory panel to aid in a recently launched assessment of the ground-level ozone limits.

Those steps, coupled with Wheeler's previously announced decision to concentrate authority in a seven-member committee made up mostly of his appointees, quickly sparked objections that the agency is intent on skewing the outcome of those reviews in favor of industry.

And the sun rises in the east. China controls pretty much all information in the country. Try to access Facebook from Beijing, or google Winnie the Pooh ( a derogatory nick name for Xi Jinping.) Anyone who is shocked by this news hasn't been paying attention to China for the last 10 years or longer.
