GOP plans attacks on the EPA and climate scientists
If Republicans win control of the House, they plan to go after the Obama administration's environmental policies and the researchers who have offered evidence on global warming, whom they accuse of manipulating data.

By Neela Banerjee

October 30, 2010
Reporting from Washington — If the GOP wins control of the House next week, senior congressional Republicans plan to launch a blistering attack on the Obama administration's environmental policies, as well as on scientists who link air pollution to climate change.

The GOP's fire will be concentrated especially on the administration's efforts to use the Environmental Protection Agency's authority over air pollution to tighten emissions controls on coal, oil and other carbon fuels that scientists say contribute to global warming.

The attack, according to senior Republicans, will seek to portray the EPA as abusing its authority and damaging the economy with needless government regulations.

3. GOP & EPA
Ya, because a whole bunch of scientifically challenged rubes have so much more expertise than hundreds of climate scientists with advanced degrees and whole careers spent studying this phenomena -- frikkin' jackasses - the rubes I mean, not the scientists. Dumb & dumbest. We're fucking doomed.
