EPA or American Lung Assn. seem ignorant of science as they run an ad using emotionalism and child exploitation in place of science

===========================================

EPA and the American Lung Assn. may be business partners but they don't appear to understand science. In their confusion, they use emotion and exploitation of children in an ad campaign that actually refers to an entirely different topic.

These methods may work in crumbling monarchies of Europe and the European Union but here in the States we know air pollution and the global warming industry are 2 different things. Global warming regulation, the matter currently before Fred Upton (named in the ad above) and the EPA, involve the alleged idea of carbon dioxide endangerment, that CO2 must be regulated because it causes sinking islands, hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, too much snow, not enough snow, etc. General air pollution is different, should of course be dealt with, but is not claimed to cause the alleged crime of sinking islands for which corrupt potentates and the US president are angrily demanding criminal Americans pay billions in reparations.

3/23/11, "EPA pays American Lung Association to attack GOP?" Junk Science blog

"“The American Lung Association has targeted House Energy and Commerce Chairman Fred Upton for his efforts to stop U.S. EPA from regulating greenhouse gas emissions by placing billboards within sight of his district offices linking climate change with increased childhood asthma,” reports E&E News PM.

But as we reported last week in “EPA owns the American Lung Association,” the EPA has paid the American Lung Association over $20 million in the last ten years, and has paid the ALA many more millions in a symbiotic relationship

• going back to at least 1990.

The EPA-ALA relationship works something like this: EPA pays the ALA and, in return, the ALA agitates for more stringent EPA air quality regulation, including by lawsuit. Now the ALA is attacking a politician who is aiming to rein in the out-of-control agency.

In addition to defunding National Public Radio, the House GOP should look at the EPA’s funding of American Lung Association. This abuse of taxpayer money is also a good subject for watchdog Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA)."
