To help address the nation's pressing need for better air quality, the U.S. EPA has awarded a research team co-led by a University of Washington civil engineer a $10 million Air, Climate and Energy (ACE) grant.
The researchers will use a new approach combining air pollution research with the related areas of climate change and energy usage. Since air pollution and climate change are both largely caused by the combustion of fossil fuels, this integrated approach will address commonalities and encourage solutions that will positively impact all three areas.
"A critical need facing our country is addressing air pollution and climate change at the same time, and certainly avoiding solutions to one problem that exacerbate the other," said Chris Tessum, a UW civil and environmental engineering research scientist who is involved in the project.
Another critical aspect of the research is investigating environmental justice to determine which populations have more exposure to air pollution and how new air quality management strategies may alter current disparities.

Yup.
It doesn’t look like research at all. They are starting with a conclusion and working backwards to a hypothesis.
The real crime here is that American’s tax dollars are being spent in a war — against them!
YAWN
Precisely and so obvious. A pantload from the start.
America this is a cabal of govt and “academia” conspiring against the prosperity of your children.

Where the hell did the EPA get that kind of money while the National Debt has increased $500B in the past six months?
Impeach Obama NOW!!!!!
That should deflect Obama’s effort to have the Senate allow him to add a 4th judge to SCOTUS.
The GOPe controlled House and Senate. It was called "cromnibus" and cost us $1.1 trillion.
