The Environmental Protection Agency dismissed its top science counselors without telling them in advance, two of them told HuffPost on Wednesday.
The head of the Science Advisory Board, Peter Thorne, and the head of the Board of Scientific Counselors, Deborah Swackhamer, said they learned from news reporters that they had been replaced.
“This is really a destruction of the scientific integrity at EPA,” said Thorne, a University of Iowa professor of occupational and environmental health who has served as the head of the Science Advisory Board since 2015. “It’s disheartening to see.”
Swackhamer went public five months ago with accusations that Pruitt’s chief of staff pressured her to alter her congressional testimony to play down the EPA’s dismissal of scientific advisers.
“I was stunned that he was pushing me to ‘correct’ something in my testimony,” Swackhamer told The New York Times in June. “I was factual, and he was not. I felt bullied.”

bummer dude.
EPA is cleaning up the Academic Environment.
That’s a shame.
These two were given the hint when Trump won.
Anyone has seen the world’s smallest violin?
I doubt they use 20% of their funding for actual environmental repair. I suspect it’s more along the lines of the Klintoon Foundation getting $50 mil/yr and using $100K for actual causes.
Welcome to the real world weenies!
Now, just how concerned were you when the Tech people in this country were replaced with H1’s and had to train them to boot? I’ll bet not a one had a millisecond’s concern. How about this, the adults are back in charge and we are not going to take the bullcrap you try to propagate as science.
CO2 is a pollutant?
Bankrupt the coal industry for political reasons?
Using and purposely losing lawsuits by radical left wing groups to make “policy”
Yeah - you lost that a LONG time ago...

“This is really a destruction of the scientific integrity at EPA,”
The EPA is like the CNN of the environment. It can’t be believed for what it says and does. Most agencies are politicized without being intellectually honest.
Gee, I was fired once without warning.
Life sux.
Get over it, snowflake......................
Nope. Scientific integrity at EPA was destroyed long ago.
Science Advisors? You mean top Scheisters and Liars for the Glowbull Warming Cult, right?
The excused “scientists” were on White Collar Welfare from the gov’t.
Welcome to real life, fellas.
“The Environmental Protection Agency dismissed its top science counselors without telling them in advance”
That’s what usually happens when someone gets fired.
Big deal.
I was fired a couple of times without warning too. Are your bosses supposed to warn you? That’s how it is unless these idiots have never worked their entire lives. That’s why I have my own business.
Where do they get the nutty idea they must get advance notice they are being replaced?
