CNSNews.com) – Gina McCarthy, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), asked scientists at a climate change conference on Thursday in Arlington, Va., to help advance President Barack Obama’s agenda on climate change. “Scientists, you folks help us understand our world,” McCarthy said at the 14th National Conference and Global Forum on Science, Policy and the Environment: Building Climate Solutions, sponsored by the National Council for Science and the Environment (NCSE).

“You help EPA to meet our mission of public health protection and environmental protection. “I need you now more than ever to speak the truth,” McCarthy said. “I need you to stand up together with us and explain what the science is telling you.“To tell people that science and technology improvements will allow us to take action moving forward that meets the needs of this president as he has charged EPA, which is to look at climate change as something where we can innovate and we can move forward to grow the economy, to grow jobs, to understand how we’re producing sustainable, livable communities,” McCarthy said. Obama has said he will use executive authority to move forward his agenda, including climate change. Peter Saundry, executive director of NCSE, introduced McCarthy by noting Obama’s pledge to act unilaterally on climate change.

“President Obama has announced that he will work with Congress whenever he can but will not be held hostage – will move forward and do the utmost, we hope, through executive authority and through the agencies,” Saundry said. The Supreme Court has noted that EPA has authority under (the) Clean Air Act and also other authorities, under (the) Clean Water Act, and so EPA is marching forward and taking actions right now which is really, really important. ”The conference described its mission in the program this way: “The 14th National Conference and Global Forum on Science, Policy and the Environment: Building Climate Solutions will engage some 1,000 key individuals from any fields of sciences and engineering, government and policy, business and civil society to advance solutions to minimize the causes and consequences of anthropogenic climate change.”
Translation: Lie to make Obama look good and give him cover for his lies. Only then can he shutdown more coal mines to make the Sauds happy.
The EPA was initiated by Nixon, carried further by Carter-later Bush, but it didn’t burst forth into a huge money-power tree until Clinton/Gore.
