The EPA will now be dominated by "experts" from the industries it is supposed to be monitoring and anyone who has received a grant from the agency will be ineligible..
Trump's nominee for Consumer Protection is a lawyer who built her business on defending unsafe products...
Seems not only are the foxes defending the henhouse but the door is open as well..

It unfortunately is ingrained in our culture and parents teach their kids to deny science. Parents have stopped becoming parents and are now "friends" with their kids. We can point (some) of the blame at the media, government, corporations, but it all comes down to what we talk about with our kids, family, and friends.

It's not an American War on science. It is a GOP war on intelligence.

Oh, B.S.
Pruitt quoted a passage from the Bible about conflicts of interest. The policy change is simply directing that EPA advisory board members can't simultaneously receive EPA grant money. You can do either, but not both. It has nothing to do with using the Bible as a scientific standard.

Oh, double B.S.
Scott Pruitt as Oklahoma AG won lawsuit after lawsuit against Obama's EPA because he understand's the agency's powers and legal authority better than they did. It's "disturbing" and "erodes democracy" when unelected bureaucrats seize power that the people didn't grant. It's "disturbing" and "erodes democracy" when the executive branch side-steps the Constitution and issues orders not authorized by law. It's "disturbing" and "erodes democracy" when agencies collude with special interest groups to "sue-and-settle" matters under the table.
Pruitt's steps should be welcomed by people who believe in due process and rule of law. Where do you stand on those matters?Aesma wrote:First some honesty should apply and the EPA renamed the EDA : Environmental Destruction Agency
Indeed. Obama's EPA managed to massively contaminate the pristine Animas River and simply issued a "whoopsie daisy."

If you actually read the article you'll notice that your synopsis is anything but correct.
The EPA said the claims could be refiled in federal court, or Congress could authorize payments.

Soo... did or didn't the GOP controlled Congress authorize payments back then?

It doesn't force anyone to leave. If they want to stay on the advisory boards, then can choose to forgo grant money.

Censored Science: The Suppressed Evidence
If you Dare . . . .
Updated and expanded in 2014, the volume contains both the most recent cutting-edge evidence for creation and time-tested evidence which have never been answered by those rejecting Biblical truth. The book is divided into three major sections - Censored Biological Evidence, Censored Geological Evidence, and Censored Cosmological Evidence. Each section starts with a description of how an assumption of naturalism prevents our educational system from exposing students to any evidence which contradicts the presuppositions of evolution.

Mr. Malone is supposedly a chemical engineer at DOW Chemical. According to what I read online about his book, he does not agree that the Earth is billions of years old.
This makes me wonder how a chemist can deny the evidence of chemistry.

Besides, religious people can't even agree among themselves on which one of their fairy-tales is true.

Carbon dating was not invented until 1949.

“With their short 5,700 year half-life, no carbon 14 atoms should exist in any carbon older than 250,000 years. Yet it has proven impossible to find any natural source of carbon below Pleistocene (Ice Age) strata that does not contain significant amounts of carbon 14, even though such strata are supposed to be millions or billions of years old. Conventional carbon 14 laboratories have been aware of this anomaly since the early 1980’s, have striven to eliminate it, and are unable to account for it.
which cannot be contaminated in situ with recent carbon
This radioactive carbon 14 is different from regular carbon. It is produced by radiation striking the atmosphere. In essence, sunlight strikes the atmosphere, slaps the nitrogen around, and turns it into carbon 14.
If all of the carbon 14 atoms would have disappeared at a maximum of 250,000 years, why would there still be carbon 14 atoms in coal?
Aesma wrote:Besides, "science" doesn't say that C14 datation is perfect, on the contrary, it's quite a difficult technique to use and often can't provide accurate results.
In one sentence he affirms that the planet cannot be billions of years old because there are C14 atoms in coal ! No need to write such a long article if it's to end up with such nonsense.

everything that you ever want to know:
https://ncse.com/cej/3/2/answers-to-cre ... -14-dating
errors in the process go both ways. you not only can have less C-14 indication than there is
you can also get C-14 indication where there are none.
mass spectroscopy is much more precise than the earlier established methods.
