Seven months after being subpoenaed by Congress, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Gina McCarthy conceded that her agency does not have - and cannot produce - all of the scientific data used for decades to justify numerous rules and regulations under the Clean Air Act.

Well said.
It’s all for The Chillren”
You mean the abortion holocaust survivors.
LOL! Oh, the masses won’t hear about dingy. Besides, they’re more concerned with the size of “kk’s” butt. That gets a meh.
Ethics would say they should withdraw all the rules and regulations....or Congress should step in and cancel them wholesale....and cut their funds by 50%.

The most significant climate impacts from volcanic injections into the stratosphere come from the conversion of sulfur dioxide to sulfuric acid, which condenses rapidly in the stratosphere to form fine sulfate aerosols. The aerosols increase the reflection of radiation from the Sun back into space, cooling the Earth’s lower atmosphere or troposphere. Several eruptions during the past century have caused a decline in the average temperature at the Earth’s surface of up to half a degree (Fahrenheit scale) for periods of one to three years. The climactic eruption of Mount Pinatubo on June 15, 1991, was one of the largest eruptions of the twentieth century and injected a 20-million ton (metric scale) sulfur dioxide cloud into the stratosphere at an altitude of more than 20 miles. The Pinatubo cloud was the largest sulfur dioxide cloud ever observed in the stratosphere since the beginning of such observations by satellites in 1978. It caused what is believed to be the largest aerosol disturbance of the stratosphere in the twentieth century, though probably smaller than the disturbances from eruptions of Krakatau in 1883 and Tambora in 1815. Consequently, it was a standout in its climate impact and cooled the Earth’s surface for three years following the eruption, by as much as 1.3 degrees at the height of the impact. Sulfur dioxide from the large 1783-1784 Laki fissure eruption in Iceland caused regional cooling of Europe and North America by similar amounts for similar periods of time.

Even though I have more faith in USGS scientific studies you can still find EPA biased caveats in the USGS material - just sayin’ one hand dirtying the other.
We Can’t Produce ANY OF the Data Justifying Clean Air Rules...
Fixed it
NO we do not need any level of federal regulation. I will take my chances with a free people and the food and environment that they produce over government promises of safety and a clean environment.
I respectfully suggest you read up on how it is possible to be safer and cleaner with government regulations. Here is a hint: You do understand that the EPA enforces the “rights” of companies to pollute?
These words will be on the epitaph of western civilization
Not because we didn't care about them
But we did!
but because “we” did
Great point!
The government has decided the government can decide what the government wants to decide and the government decided to give themselves permission to decide this.
unbelievable. imposing rules virtually on a whim. And! theres no penalty to the people imposing the rules. Once more a govt employee is allowed to be as wrong as they wish with no recourse to wee the people. Nothing. More than anything we once more see the absolute lack of accountability in government.

They make it up as they go depending on their political agenda.
