Mike Simpson: Because EPA Is Fighting Global Warming, It’s The ‘Scariest Agency’ | “The EPA’s unrestrained effort to regulate greenhouse gases, and the pursuit of an overly aggressive regulatory agenda, are signs of an agency that has lost its bearings,” subcommittee chairman Mike Simpson (R-ID) said in an appropriations markup of next year’s environment budget this morning. He called the Environmental Protection Agency, which is facing a 20 percent budget cut, the “scariest agency in the federal government.” Simpson also said he is not “necessarily” a climate change denier, according to the Hill.
