The EPA Dilemma

As you may recall, on September 22, 2011, EPA chief Lisa Jackson testified to that:

Particulate matter [i.e., PM_2.5] causes premature death. It doesn’t make you sick. It’s directly causal to dying sooner than you should.

This claim was based on experiments which the EPA performed on 41 human subjects, exposing them to  PM at levels far higher than 2.5.

Nobody died.

One person with an existing (known) heart condition got sick.

That's the only case the EPA reported, ignoring 40 other case studies where nothing at all happened and nobody got sick (or died).


As I see it, there are really only three options here. None of them are acceptable.

1.  EPA representatives clearly lied to taxpayers and delivered fraudulent, perjured testimony to Congress when they said that “hours of exposure leads to death. Not Sickness. Death”

2. They deliberately crossed all sorts of boundaries and performed life threatening experiements on human beings.

3. We live in the matrix and none of this is happening at all.

Okay, yes, the fourth possibility is that both 1 and 2 are true.

Just for fun, you should also check out this comparison of the death rate connected to bad air in China's most polluted city as compared to EPA studies.  

You should really read the EPA;s denial.  It's pretty strange.

So now Junkscience.com's Steve Milloy has sent a letter to the EPA IG asking for a formal investigation.  Did they really experiment with delivering potentially lethal exposures of PM to human subjects?

Did they lie?

Is there any other explanation of their testimony to Congress?
