    Default "EPA blocks warnings on cancer-causing chemical"

    "The Trump administration is suppressing an Environmental Protection Agency report that warns that most Americans inhale enough formaldehyde vapor in the course of daily life to put them at risk of developing leukemia and other ailments"

    "The warnings are contained in a draft health assessment EPA scientists completed just before Donald Trump became president, according to the officials. They said top advisers to departing Administrator Scott Pruitt are delaying its release as part of a campaign to undermine the agency’s independent research into the health risks of toxic chemicals."

    "Interfering with the formaldehyde study is one of several steps Trump's EPA has taken to side with the businesses the agency is supposed to regulate and undermine the agency's approach to science. Public health advocates also expressed alarm after Pruitt replaced academic scientists with industry advocates on the agency’s influential science advisory boards and sought to limit the types of human health research the EPA can rely on in rulemakings."

    Just like Fiduciary Rules, net neutrality, class action lawsuits, and consumer protections, what Trump calls deregulation and conservatives buy as deregulation is acually the loss of public safeguards and largely for the profits of others

    I know you ignorant deplorables are ignorant but my guide you people prove it everyday on here. Your big National Distribution beers like Budweiser have had formaldehyde in them for a long time. Try to be a little less stupid will you.

    There are many on the Left that use environmentalism to achieve their ends through other means. It is truly naive to think otherwise when the evidence is so powerful to the contrary. There is nothing wrong with having a clean environment but when it is taken to extremes by cynical Leftists then I am going to call them out. Ask Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace, he will give you chapter and verse on how they were taken over by the far Left.

    Here he describes how Greenpeace became more political, even attempting to ban chlorine at one stage. This is the level of scientific illiteracy and breathtaking ignorance in that organisation.

    Greenpeace doesn't run the EPA.... and religion shouldn't. Pruitt fired scientists to put industry heads in their places.. Is that what you want?

    Here you go again, stick to the current topic. Why will you not confront the elephant in the room preferring to duck and dive instead. Greenpeace, the Sierra Club, the IPCC and a host of others had an almost incestuous relationship with the EPA. You are truly incredibly naive, especially for one that have travelled the world. You sound more like a naive millenial at times.

    I bought furniture during the obama Reich. I built furniture during the obama Reich. I built 3 custom guitars out of many different species of wood during the obama Reich. Never saw one warning label. Some woods release MANY harmful substances as they are machined. If you work with it, you know this stuff. BTW, formaldehyde occurs naturally in the environment. How long can you hold your breath?

    Wow! A whole three guitars? Man, that's some CHRONIC exposure! What does a composite guitar sound like?

    Did Obama's people bury any research on it?
