The Post noted that it is standard practice for members of the EPA’s Board of Scientific Counselors (BOSC), which reviews research performed by the EPA’s Office of Research and Development, to receive a second three-year term.

This is a sub-standard Misadministration, though.

Really? I thought that they might be replaced by a few dozen monkeys with typewriters. Who knows what they might write?

Well someone had to find jobs for the 3% of scientist who don’t believe in man-made climate change. I mean…fossil fuel industry funding only goes so far.

Even if they didn’t, replacing them with non scientists from industry is bad. Nothing inherently wrong with industry scientists but solely industry scientists would be bad optics.

I’m glad someone is finally looking out for the regulated community! They’ve been far too crippled by catastrophic government rules that have left them totally profitless and destitute.

$257 billion is the profit made in 2014 by public companies involved in extracting, transporting, refining, distributing and trading in fossil fuels in the United States and Canada.
