Surprise!! Academic Liars on EPA Tit!

EPA is Tricky Dick Nixon's revenge on the US for his resignation.  It's also leading a very close race for the Bureaucracy Corruption-King Award.  (IRS and D. of Ed. simply have to work harder at it.)

This all stems from Congressional mis- and mal-feasance, of course.  Give me a mandate to 'make the Earth perfect' and I'll be able to spend umpty-trillion dollars, too. 

Anyhow, it seems as though EPA's collaborators are inclined to lie, just as is EPA.  Surprise!!

...In early May, a study published in the journal Nature Climate Change purported to support a key EPA claim about its forthcoming global warming rules aimed at coal-fired power plants. The New York Times’ headline, “EPA Emissions Plan Will Save Thousands of Lives, Study Finds,” typified the media coverage.
Across the media, the authors were innocuously described as simply university-affiliated “researchers.” After all, the researchers had declared they had “no competing financial interests” in their study. Both universities had issued media releases heralding the study as the “first independent, peer-reviewed paper of its kind.”...

Well, nothing except $45 million in grants over the last few years.

Shall we name names?  Sure!!

"Resources for the Future," indeed.  The question is:  "WHOSE future?"
