One way to neuter the EPA is to require them to provide reports on the human and economic impacts of any proposed policy, and then get approval from Congress before implementing it.

As it is, they are specifically excluded from economic impact requirements before dictating environmental policy.

That's a capital idea! It's high time for the EPA to produce economic impact statements for any new regulations that they propose, at the least, cap their budget and then require them to produce economic impact statements for all of their regulations already in effect.

Thanks neverdem. The article starts with some snarking, an obvious attempt at spin:

CERN's 8,000 scientists may not be able to find the hypothetical Higgs boson, but they have made an important contribution to climate physics, prompting climate models to be revised. ...it's a politically sensitive topic, as it provides support for a "heliocentric" rather than "anthropogenic" approach to climate change: the sun plays a large role in modulating the quantity of cosmic rays reaching the upper atmosphere of the Earth.
