EPA Science Panel Stacked With Experts Paid Millions By EPA

The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) science advisory panel tasked with reviewing ozone regulations is stacked with experts who have collectively received millions in agency funding over the years.

Of the 20 scientific advisers sitting on EPA’s Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) Ozone Panel, 17 have received a total of $192 million in EPA grants, according to an analysis by the blog JunkScience.com.

This news only fuels the argument that EPA’s science committees aren’t “independent” as required by federal law, because they are stacked with experts who rely on the very agency they are overseeing for money.

“The EPA’s CASAC panels work on a consensus basis,” wrote Steve Milloy, the publisher of JunkScience.com and senior fellow at the Energy & Environment Legal Institute (EELI).

This is how the Administration keeps their "Climate Agenda" moving forward when real science shows there is no man-made global warming.

Today science is bought and paid for by someone with an agenda.
True empirical science died about 1920 and from that point on it has been downhill. Cover-ups, falsifying research, money under the table.., most of science today is BS and just one more tangent in an effort to deceive the people.
