The Cal Watchdog blog has the details on action taken by Assemblyman Dan Logue who is seeking the truth in this attempt by CARB to hide the truth. Not unlike "Climategate" scientists hiding the decline.
Read the full report here.Katy Grimes: A 34-year environmental health sciences professor at UCLA appears to be on the chopping block and headed for the unemployment line for speaking out against diesel vehicle regulations, according to Assemblyman Dan Logue, R-Linda. But that is not where it will end if Logue gets his way.
In a CalWatchdog exclusive, Assemblyman Dan Logue, R-Linda, shared a letter he authored, signed by 25 other state legislators, addressed to University of California chancellor Gene Block and Vice Chancellor Scott Waugh, stating that legislators believe Dr. James Enstrom is being terminated on August 30, for his outspoken opposition to AB 32, California’s global warming initiative.
Logue said that Enstrom is also being terminated because of his discovery in 2009 of former CARB employee Hien Tran, who had falsified academic credentials, but was still allowed to write the health report that determined that CARB would forge ahead with drastic diesel regulations in the state.
Logue’s letter states that Enstrom is being terminated “in order to silence scientific views on the health effects of fine particulate air pollution. In particular, we are concerned that he is being deprived of his academic freedom as a UCLA faculty member to speak out against draconian diesel regulations approved by the California Air Resources Board in 2007 and 2008.”
These regulations which are based on questionable science have had a significant impact on businesses in Nevada County according to a hearing held by Dan Logue at the Rood Center. George Rebane wrote about the meeting in CARB’s Nevada County Footprint.
It is time to pull CARB up short. They continue to support the lefts political agenda with bad science. And, when the facts do not support the politics they attack the messenger, rather than deal with the facts.
