A big shoutout to ACSH advisor (and junk science debunker extraordinaire) Dr. Geoffrey Kabat for his recent Forbes op-ed entitled “What Is Really At Stake In The House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology Subpoena Of EPA Data.”
This time, Dr. Kabat, a
Senior Epidemiologist at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and a member
of ACSH’s scientific advisory panel, takes on the “science” of air pollution
regulation. In reality, the science is really based on politics …….new
regulations that will cost billions of dollars should be accessible to
independent researchers and other groups, rather than hinging on the analysis
and interpretation of a small group of academic researchers.”
ACSH’s Dr. Josh Bloom
comments, “Fighting the pollution of science by special-interest groups and
politics is one of the guiding principles upon which ACSH was founded. Dr.
Kabat’s op-ed is a fine example of what we deal with all the time. I encourage
you to read it, although any idealists out there who still believe that sound
science is reliably transformed into sound policy better have a strong
stomach.”….To Read More….
