Subject: Nomination to USEPA"s Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC)
Dr. Cox,
You have been nominated as a candidate for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Air
Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) in response to a Federal Register Notice published on June
27, 2017, soliciting nominations to CASAC (https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2017-06-
27/pdf/2017-13332.pdf). The CASAC was established in 1977 under the Clean Air Act Amendments
(CAAA) to provide advice to the EPA Administrator on the scientific and technical aspects of air
quality criteria and the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). Please refer to the Federal
Register Notice linked above for further information regarding CASAC and the nomination and
selection process.
At this stage of the process, we are asking interested candidates to submit a recent cv and biosketch.
The biosketch should be 1-2 paragraphs and should highlight the following: current position,
educational background, area of expertise and research activities, sources of research funding (for
the last 2 years), and service on other advisory committees, professional societies. The names and
biosketches of interested and qualified candidates will be posted in a List of Candidates on the
CASAC website (http://epa.gov/casac) for public comment.
Please let me know of your interest in being considered for membership on the CASAC as soon as
possible. If you are interested, please (b) (6) and provide your cv and
biosketch to me by August 4, 2017.

Subject: CASAC Advisory Committee Recommendations
Date: Saturday, September 09, 2017 4:43:20 PM
Mr. Aaron Yeow

Designated Federal Officer, EPA
Subject: Comments regarding candidates for Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC)
The Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee will play an important role in ensuring clean air for all
Americans. Clean air can be the difference between life and death for some Americans and
contributes to the good health for all Americans.
It’s crucial that the advisory committee be completely independent and have no formal ties or
relationships with the EPA.
An independent advisory committee is the only way to have honest, unbiased recommendations
concerning this important area of science.
I recommend the following candidates for appointment to the advisory committee:
Mr. Louis Anthony Cox Jr. PhD. President of Cox Associates. Dr. Cox is Editor-in-Chief of
Risk Analysis: An International Journal. He has a PhD in risk analysis, is a consultant
and expert in air quality epidemiology.
Mr. Robert F. Phalen. Professor of Medicine, UC-Irvine. He is founding director and
currently co-director at Air Pollution Health Effects Laboratory. Dr. Phalen is a full
member of eight scientific societies and is the chair of the Board of Directors of the
California Society for Biomedical Research (CSBR).
Mr. Stan Young. PhD Statistician. Retired from National Institute of Statistical Sciences. Dr.
Young is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association and the American
Association for the Advancement of Science. His studies on PM2.5 are
groundbreaking.
I recommend that the following candidates not be approved for the CASAC advisory committee.
Mr. George A. Allen is currently a member of the EPA AIRNow Steering Committee, and
would not be a new independent voice on this critical CASAC advisory committee. He has
also worked on a wide range of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and National
Institutes of Health funded air pollution studies. This further emphasizes that Mr. Allen
would not provide an independent view on clean air issues.
Dr. John Balmes. Dr. Balmes has been a physician member of the California Air Resources
Board (CARB) that has already made determinations that would preclude Dr. Balmes from
objectively analyzing clean air issues and allow for independent comments.
Mr. Bart Croes is affiliated with the California Air Resource Board that has already made
determinations that would preclude Mr. Croes from objectively analyzing clean air issues
and allow for independent comments.
Ms. Ana Diez Roux, M.D., Ph.D. Ms. Roux has participated as an advisor to EPA’s Clean
Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC)band would therefore not be able to provide new
and independent commentary on this critical issue.
Dr. Mark Frampton. Dr. Frampton has received grants from the EPA and should, therefore,
be removed from consideration. While his receiving of grants doesn’t automatically mean
Dr. Frampton is biased, any recommendations he makes will be viewed as such by
independent observers.
Dr. Rob McConnell. Dr. McConnell has received grants from the EPA. While this doesn’t
automatically mean Dr. Frampton is biased, any recommendations he makes will be viewed
as such by independent observers.
Mr. Richard Poirot. Mr. Poirot has participated as an advisor to EPA’s Clean Air Scientific
Advisory Committee (CASAC) and would therefore not be able to provide new and
independent commentary on this critical issue.
Dr. Beate Ritz, MD, Ph.D. She is the 2007 recipient of the Robert M. Zweig M.D. Memorial
Award from the California South Coast Air Quality Management District, which has taken
positions on this subject which could prevent Dr. Ritz from taking an independent view on
the issue of clean air. She has also received grants from the EPA. While this doesn’t
automatically mean Dr. Ritz is biased, any recommendations she makes will be viewed as
such by independent observers.
Dr. Armistead Russell. Dr. Russell was a prior member of EPA’s Clean Air Science
Advisory Committee (CASAC) and will not provide a new and independent view on clean
air issues. He has also received grants from the EPA. While this doesn’t automatically
mean Dr. Russell is biased, any recommendations he makes will be viewed as such by
independent observers.
Dr. George Thurston. Dr. Thurston has previously served on the EPA’s CASAC Committee,
which means he will not bring a new and independent voice to this critical subject. In
addition, one of Dr. Thurston’s students presently has an EPA STAR grant, which indicates
Dr. Thurston could be emotionally involved with CASAC arguments and could not,
therefore, provide a new, independent and unbiased view. He has also received grants
from the EPA. While this doesn’t automatically mean Dr. Thurston is biased, any
recommendations he makes will be viewed as such by independent observers.

Subject: submission: Public Comment on Candidates for CASAC
Mr. Aaron Yeow, DFO

Science Advisory Board Staff Office
yeow.aaron@epa.gov
Dear Mr. Yeow:
I would like to suggest that limiting nominees "...
who are physicians and members of the NAS ..."
is not appropriate to the function of the
CASAC. Pollutants, after all, are chemicals and
there should be places for a few chemists on
such an advisory panel. I suggest that the
presence of physicists and others outside of
practicing medicine and public health training
would also be useful. For this reason I
recommend accepting the nomination of these
candidates: Dr. Carol Henry, Dr. A. R.
Ravishankara, Dr. Laura E. Nikalson, and Dr.
Nan Hayworth.
In addition I recommend that these candidates
be accepted: Dr. Louis Anthony Cox, Jr's,
training is in Risk Analysis and would be an
excellent addition to the CASAC; Dr. Robert F.
Phalen has an undergraduate degree in physics
and master's in nuclear physics and would also
be a valuable addition; and Dr. S. Stanley Young
is a renowned statistician and would be an
excellent resource to the CASAC.
The following candidates have had past
associations or are currently serving on CASAC
or a sub-committee, and, for the benefit of the
Committee, should be moving on. In addition it
appears that these candidates may have some
degree of conflict of interest since they have
received or are now receiving grants directly or
indirectly from the EPA. For these reasons
please do not recommend these candidates: Mr.
George A. Allen, Dr. John R. Balmes, Mr. Bart
Croes, Dr. Ana V. Diez Roux, Dr. Mark
Frampton, Dr. Rob McConnell, Dr. Beate Ritz,
Dr. Armistead Russell, Dr. George Thurston,
and Dr. Scott Zeger.
Finally, with regard to Mr. Richard L. Poirot, it
appears that Mr. Poirot's experience lies
principally in a Vermont government agency that
likely does not have a requirement of a
background in science. He does have an
impressive history of service in numerous
advisory committees, both at the state and
federal levels, but it is not clear from the brief
biographical summary that he has any training in
an appropriate science like chemistry, biology, or
statistics. I would not recommend Mr. Poirot as
a member of the CASAC.
Thank you,

Date: Monday, September 11, 2017 4:22:55 PM
Dear Mr. Aaron Yeow:
I write to provide public comments on the List of Candidates under

consideration for appointment to the CASAC. I am an Assistant Professor
in the Department of Biology at the University of Utah. I received a
Ph.D. from the Department of Biology at Stanford University, worked as a
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) postdoctoral
fellow at Princeton University, and have published more than 50
peer-reviewed scientific papers. My scientific research frequently
covers areas under the purview of the CASAC.
While the vast majority of the candidates nominated for CASAC are
commendable and qualified, there are three candidates that greatly
concern me, whom I believe to be unqualified for the Committee due to
their lack of key credentials and unacceptable conflicts of interest –
Louis Anthony Cox Jr., Deane Waldman and S. Stanley Young. The CASAC’s
explicit aims are to provide “independent advice, information and
recommendations to the EPA Administrator on the scientific and technical
aspects of air quality.” These three candidates do not have the
appropriate credentials or expertise to provide “scientific and
technical” input to CASAC and their well-documented funding sources with
strong financial interests casts strong doubt on their ability to
provide “independent advice.” Thus, on all stated aims of the CASAC
roles, these three individuals are unqualified and should not be
appointed to the Committee.

Dear Mr. Aaron Yeow,
i would like to recommend the following candidates for the EPA’s Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee:
Tony Cox
Robert F. Phalen
Stan Young
My reasoning for recommending these three candidates is based on my years of experience working in public high
school administration. I have found that new people to positions often bring enhancing points of view and
enthusiasm that helps to keep organizational processes vital and relevant - to reinvigorate vision and mission of an
organization. These three candidates could perhaps provide such benefits to the EPA.
The other candidates appear to have long-standing associations with the EPA in various capacities. Perhaps it is time
for change. Please consider the following wish to not consider these candidates not as any negative against them. I
just don’t necessarily see change coming with these candidates listed below given their long EPA affiliations:

EPA Scientific Advisory Board
Mr. Thomas Carpenter
Washington, DC
Dear Thomas Carpenter,
Good morning
I am writing to comment on the proposed nominees for the Environmental Protection

Agency’s Science Advisory Board, which reviews the science the agency uses in formulating
safeguards.
I am a long time Republican, but your current policies and attitudes are undermining the
purpose of the EPA as well as the longterm health and welfare of the nation.
These individuals who you are proposing are more interested in political philosophy and
supporting industry than the health and environmental safety of our country. Shame on you
for subverting the purpose of the EPA.
We need environmental protection because we are supposed to be a government of the

people, by the people and for the people. But the Scott Pruitt EPA is subverting this purpose
by putting industry and production before people. Somehow you in the EPA are forgetting
that the strength of a nation lies in its citizens and their integrity, certainly not in its money
or industry.
If you are going to accurately assess the health needs of America, you need sound science
buttressed by generally accepted values. These eminate from religion, not money. The
nomination of climate science-denying, polluter-friendly replacements is corrupt and I
oppose it.
What you need are real scientists with academic credentials and a history of working for the
common good.
At the root of our problem is that corporations are not real people. They have no heart, no
soul, and no capability of genuine morality. Yet you in the EPA are nominating individuals
who only have allegiance to industrial corporations or some partisan philosophy. These guys
are not working for our nation, but for the corporations to whom they have a higher
allegiance.
For this reason, I ask that you eliminate from consideration for national service the
following individuals who deny science of climate change
In particular I request that you disqualify Joseph D’Aleo, who wrongly claims global
warming is due to natural cycles; and former Peabody Energy science director Craig Idso.
There is absolutely no evidence that causes any thoughtful person to believe that the
measureable rise in average earth temperature was caused by anything other than the rise
in human generated carbon dioxide. Besides D’Aleo, Idso and other climate change denying
candidates are affiliated with the fossil fuel industry-funded Heartland Institute, which has a
long history of misrepresenting science.
Others who should be disqualified include
Edwin Berry, Alan Carlin, Keven Dayaratna, Paul Dreissen, Gordon Fulks, Richard Keen,
David LeGates, Anthony Lupo, David Stevenson and H. Leighton Steward.
The following individuals should also be disqualified for their tight association with polluting
industries: Richard Belzer, James Bus, Samuel Cohen, Tony Cox, James Enstrom, John D.
Graham, Michael Honeycutt, Walt Hufford, James Klaunig and Kimberly White.
I submit this letter for the good of our nation, for a hope that you can provide qualified
individuals to serve as assessors of sound science, and that you will fulfill the requirements
in the preamble of the U.S. Constitution to seek justice and the common good, not the
private gain of polluting industries.
And please remember too that there is a spiritual dimension to the choices that you make.
In a time when there is pollution and desecration across the land, God's good angel says
"Hurt not the earth, neither the seas nor the trees." (Rev. 7:3). Further when it is the time
of the Judgement, the Bible reads, "God will destroy those who destroy the earth" (Rev.
11:18).
For all these reasons, please deny the candidacies of those individuals who would further
pollution and the degradation of the health of America's people. There is no good reason to
support their crooked approach to government.
Yours sincerely,
Fred Krueger

Hello Mr. Carpenter,
The EPA has a vital job to perform in service to the

American public. In order to do its job properly, it must
have access to reliable and current science. The Science
Advisory Board needs to be filled with experts who are
qualified and dedicated scientists, not with candidates
who are unqualified and selected for political reasons.
There is no room on this board for climate-science deniers

or for people who are hostile to the EPA and put the
welfare of polluting industry above the welfare of the
American public.
I am sure that there are sufficient excellent candidates to

fill the board, but these candidates are climate-science
deniers or pro-pollution nominees; they are therefore
unqualified and must be rejected:

I am so saddened and frustrated that Pruitt is putting forth candidates for positions on the EPA Scientific
Advisory Board who are not scientists, are climate deniers, are unqualified, and/or have obvious conflict of
interest by having worked for the agencies they are supposed to be regulating and advising.
The integrity of the EPA has been severely damaged by Pruitt and his appointees already. There has to be
some kind of push back to maintain accountability and an agenda that focuses on protecting our water, air,
and land, not milking it for every profitable ounce possible.
I am specifically speaking against the following nominees:

Subject: Public Comment on EPA Scientific Advisory Board Nominees
Dear Mr. Thomas,
I am writing in response to the request for public comment on the EPA's Scientific Advisory Board candidates. As someone with a scientific background and an American citizen, I
am qualified to speak to these matters. I have reviewed each candidate's biosketch.
First, some general comments. I was pleased to see that many of the board's nominees are well-qualified. However, I find it alarming that there are nearly 4 males for ever 1 female
listed. I find it difficult to believe that this is truly representative of the demographics across the fields relevant to the EPA's work, and I am troubled that the EPA found gender-
imbalance on its board acceptable. I would appreciate a response from the EPA regarding why demographic considerations were not incorporated in the criteria for compiling a list
of candidates, and what steps will be taken in the future to ensure that more of the nation's well-qualified female scientists are represented. I would also invite your comments
regarding considerations of race, as diversity is paramount in that regard, too.
The opening of your call for comments, it says that the SAB Staff Office identified candidates based on their expertise. I think we must define "expertise" differently, owing to the
qualifications listed for some of the nominees. For example, I fail to see how Mr. Monique's "business prospective" is pertinent when considering scientific qualifications.
Likewise, I am at a loss as to how a cattle rancher with no peer-reviewed publications (Mr. McDonald), a lobbyist for the chemical industry (Dr. White), a post-doc with good
intentions but no research track record (Dr. Kang), or a member of a states' rights advocacy group who can barely write coherent blog posts (Mr. Stevenson) made the cut for this
list. Then there are the many, many climate change deniers. How is it that 98% of climate scientists believe that climate change is real and the result of human activity, and yet the
board nominees disproportionately includes climate change deniers? I have to hand it to you for going all in and including a guy who thinks increased carbon dioxide is great
because plants like it (Mr. Steward), someone who said that “the world must abandon this suicidal Global Warming crusade” (Mr. Driessen), and another who thinks environmental
policies are "extreme" (Dr. Dayaratna). I also saw that a few others appear to have been chosen for their interest in dimantling EPA policies, such as Dr. Young, Mr. Sherman, and
Mr. Hufford. I noticed several of the nominees with questionable scientific views are members of conservative think tanks. This is unacceptable; science should not be conflated
with politics. Science is science, and should not be confused with policy. Nominees should have a strong scientific credentials and be free from undue influence by industry or
politics. This seems obvious, apparently it needs said: they should also support the mission of the EPA and not seek to undercut it.
Here is my list of nominees who I STRONGLY oppose, as well as my rationale. Please note the reason that they are unacceptable for future reference when selecting candidates for
EPA positions.
Richard Belzar Consultant for several large energy companies, undue business influence
Edwin Berry Claims humans do not impact climate change
Alan Carlin Claims humans do not impact climate change
Joseph D'Aleo Claims humans do not impact climate change
Kevin Dayaratna Claims climate change does not warrant "extreme" policies
Paul Driessen Claims humans do not impact climate change, contends that “the world must abandon this suicidal Global Warming crusade”
Gordon Fulks Claims humans do not impact climate change
Michael Honeycutt "Ozone skeptic" who claims advocates for policies that do not regulate emissions, minimizes health impacts of pollutants
Walt Hufford Claims that fracking does not impact water quality, ties to energy industry may cause undue influence
Craig Idso Climate change denier, claims humans do not impact climate changes, claims that warming climate has positive effects
Juhyon Kang Only a post-doc and research portfolio is not developed
Richard Keen Claims humans do not impact climate change
Jeffrey Lewis Provides support to ExxonMobil’s epidemiology and health risk assessment scientific programs, undue industry influence
Merl Lindstrom Undue influence by Phillips 66 - and strong ties to other portions of oil industry
William Thomas
McDonald Cattle farmer with no peer-reviewed publications
Robert Merritt Employed by oil industry, focus is to improve efficiency in the exploration and production of oil and gas
Mark Monique Only qualification is small business interests
Larry Monroe Not a scientist, businessman in energy industry
James Moore Not a scientist, businessman in energy industry
Laurie Shelby Focused on business outcomes, lacks exceptional credentials
Michael Paul Sherman Avocated for North Carolina’s farmer and rural citizen energy interests, i.e. opposed environmental policies
David Stevenson Not a scientist, conservative states’ rights and business interests advocate, barely coherent when writing for public forum
Leighton Steward Believes increasing CO2 is good for the planet, climate change denier, part of conservative advocacy group
Kimberly Wise White Works for chemical manufacturers' trade group and has written briefs opposing proposed EPA regulation

Subject: EPA Advisory Board
I am a PhD scientist, have received the Medal of Science from my Utah governor, and teach
environmental science at the University of Utah. A number of the proposed appointments to
the EPA advisory board are climate skeptics/deniers. Given the robust science demonstrating
increasing global temperatures tied to increasing emissions, this is appalling. It is like having
‘scientists’ who believe the earth is flat in charge of designing airplane and shipping routes. It
is dangerous. Furthermore, several nominees are not even scientists, but are connected to the
very polluters they are supposed to be regulating.
The EPA has always fulfilled its mission of collecting data on the environment (including
climate change and pollution) and in enforcing the regulations to keep us little people safe.
Please do not unravel that.
For these reasons, the following nominees are completely unqualified: Richard Belzer,
James Bus, Samuel Cohen, Tony Cox, James Enstrom, Joseph D’Aleo, Edwin Berry, Alan Carlin, ,

Subject: Endorsements for SAB Candidates in Response to September 7, 2017 Notice
Endorsements for Dr. Anne Smith and Others for Appointment to the Chartered Science Advisory
Board (SAB) of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Addressee: Mr. Thomas Carpenter, Designated Federal Officer
I am writing this public comment e-mail communication primarily to give a strong endorsement to
one candidate, Dr. Anne Smith. I am also including endorsements for some other listed candidates
known to me.
I have known Dr. Smith since her time as a graduate student at Stanford University. At Decision
Focus Incorporated (1984-1998) she was often under my supervision as she carried out many
assignments in environmental risk analysis for the US Environmental Protection Agency, for the
Electric Power Research Institute, and for other government and private sector clients.
I consider Anne Smith among the best people I have ever had the privilege to mentor. This occurred
as she gained experience following her doctoral degree to become a highly accomplished senior
professional. She has outstanding intelligence, superb integrity, and great willingness to work
diligently to understand and illuminate difficult scientific issues that transcend traditional disciplinary
boundaries. She has outstanding knowledge and experience spanning three disciplinary areas critical
for environment risk analysis: (1) economics, (2) decision analysis and related decision sciences, and
(3) epidemiology applied to human health impairment in relation to environmental exposures.
During the past nearly two decades she has had leadership responsibility with two preeminent firms
with which I have no association. During this time I have continued to follow her career, and we have
participated in a few professional activities together. Her scholarship and service in professional
societies have been recognized with awards, including the 2016 “Best Paper” award from the Society
for Risk Analysis.
Dr. Smith is highly qualified to contribute to the EPA Science Advisory Board in the following
disciplines named in the September 7, 2017 invitation and preceding June 27 Federal Register
Notice: benefit–cost analysis; causal inference; complex systems; economics, especially as applied to
energy and the environment; risk assessment; social, behavioral and decision sciences; statistics; and
uncertainty analysis. She has extensive experience on air quality, especially sulfur oxides, fine
particulate matter, and ozone, including aspects of epidemiological risk analysis. She has
considerable experience on air, water, and solid waste pollution from toxic chemicals and
radioactive waste materials, including service on numerous National Academies committees. She
also has extensive experience in policy analysis on climate alteration and visibility impairment.
Based on my knowledge of her professional career accomplishments over more than three decades,
I believe Dr. Anne Smith has truly outstanding capability to contribute to the EPA Science Advisory
Board, and I am therefore pleased to give a strong endorsement to her candidacy.
In reading through the list of 131 other candidates in the September 7 announcement, a modest
fraction of them are known to me on the basis of my experience working with them: Richard Belzer,
James Bus, Samuel Cohen, Tony Cox, John Fowle, John Graham, Charles Haas, Dale Hattis, James
Klaunig, Wayne Landis, Armistead Russell, Richard Smith, and Lauren Zeise.
I endorse these candidates (as well as Dr. Smith) on the basis of my personal knowledge of them as
demonstrating high levels of intelligence, relevant experience, integrity, and willingness to work
constructively and effectively with committee colleagues. The basis for my endorsement of these
additional candidates comes from more than thirty years in the Society for Risk Analysis (including
my service over the past decade as an area editor for its international journal, Risk Analysis,
managing the peer review process for manuscripts including soliciting peer reviews), my service on a
variety of committees of the EPA Science Advisory Board from 1979 to 2004, my service on
committees of the National Academies (National Research Council/National Academies of Science,
Engineering, and Medicine), and my participation in scientific and professional society activities with
the above-named candidates.
Details of my experience are given on my website at www.northworks.net. For my past SAB service,
see http://www.northworks.net/w_projects_government.htm and for National Academies service,
see http://www.northworks.net/w_projects_nrc.htm.

Mr. Carpenter:
The Science Advisory Board (SAB) has been providing independent advice to the EPA
for decades, ensuring that the agency uses the best science to protect public health
and the environment. SAB members have always been eminent scientists who are
committed to the often-challenging public service of working through complex
scientific topics to help guide EPA decision-making. They are the EPA’s scientific
compass. The agency’s mission to safeguard our air and water will be further
compromised if Administrator Pruitt winds up selecting the following unacceptable
candidates:
Climate-science-denier nominees: Edwin Berry, Alan Carlin, Joseph D’Aleo, Keven

Dayaratna, Paul Dreissen, Gordon Fulks, Craig Idso, Richard Keen, David LeGates,
Anthony Lupo, David Stevenson and H. Leighton Steward.
Pro-polluter nominees: Richard Belzer, James Bus, Samuel Cohen, Tony Cox, James
Enstrom, John D. Graham, Michael Honeycutt, Walt Hufford, James Klaunig and
Kimberly White.
These nominees have no business serving on the SAB. Please name science-oriented,
non-idealogical nominees to the board.

Subject: Comment on EPA Scientific Advisory Board candidates
I am writing to oppose the selection of a number of potential nominees to the EPA Scientific
Advisory Board. Twelve of these nominees have publicly misrepresented the overwhelming
and indisputable scientific consensus that human activities are causing dangerous climate
change. These nominees include:
Edwin Berry
Alan Carlin
Joseph D’Aleo
Keven Dayaratna
Paul Dreissen
Gordon Fulks
Craig Idso
Richard Keen
David LeGates
Anthony Lupo
David Stevenson
H. Leighton Steward
Such public misrepresentation of extremely well-established climate science can mean only
one of two things.
First, it could reveal a lack of scientific understanding that critically impairs these candidates'
ability to provide the best possible scientific advice to the EPA. This appears to be the case for
candidate Joseph D'Aleo, who does not have an earned doctoral degree and routinely misstates
or misconstrues the scientific consensus on human-caused climate change.
The alternative is that these misleading public statements reveal a fundamental conflict of
interest with pollution-producing industries regulated by the EPA that fundamentally
compromises their ability to provide independent advice on the SAB. This appears to be the
case for Dr. Craig Idso, who's work for Peabody Energy and the fossil fuel industry-sponsored
Heartland Institute may explain his blatantly false public statements about anthropogenic
climate change. Craig Idso, Joseph D'Aleo, Alan Carlin, Anthony Lupo, and David LeGates in
particular have received funding from the Heartland Institute or the fossil fuels industry that
may have played a role in their public misrepresentation of climate science.
In addition, Michael Honeycutt, Kimberly White, Richard Belzer,Tony Cox, and John D.
Graham have a worrying ties to industry groups regulated by the EPA or have previously
misrepresented environmental or health science in their previous lobbying of the EPA.
Thank you for considering these comments,

Subject: Public comment on SAB candidates
Dear Designated Federal Officer Thomas Carpenter,
I write to provide public comments on the candidates under consideration for appointment to
the Science Advisory Board. I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at the
University of Utah. I received a Ph.D. from the Department of Biology at Stanford University,
worked as a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) postdoctoral fellow
at Princeton University, and have published more than 50 peer-reviewed scientific papers. My
scientific research frequently covers areas under the purview of the SAB.
While the vast majority of the candidates nominated for SAB are commendable and qualified,
there are several candidates that greatly concern me, whom I believe to be unqualified for the
SAB due to their lack of key credentials and scientific expertise and/or unacceptable conflicts
of interest. In particular, Edwin Berry, Alan Carlin, Joseph D’Aleo, Keven Dayaratna, Paul
Dreissen, Gordon Fulks, Craig Idso, Richard Keen, David LeGates, Anthony Lupo, David
Stevenson, H. Leighton Steward, Richard Belzer, James Bus, Samuel Cohen, Tony Cox,
James Enstrom, John D. Graham, Michael Honeycutt, Walt Hufford, James Klaunig and
Kimberly White are unacceptable candidates for the SAB. These individuals would be
patently unable to provide "independent advice and peer review on the scientific and technical
aspects" as demanded by participants in the SAB. On the explicit stated aims of the SAB roles,
these individuals are unqualified and should not be appointed to the SAB.

Mr. Carpenter,
I am writing today to express my opposition to a number of the nominees to the SAB.

The following 12 individuals are all adamant deniers of climate science:
Edwin Berry Alan Carlin Joseph D’Aleo Keven Dayaratna

Paul Dreissen Gordon Fulks Craig Idso Richard Keen
David LeGates Anthony Lupo David Stevenson
H. Leighton Steward
Eight of these people are affiliated with the the fossil fuel industry-funded Heartland
Institute, which has a long history of misrepresenting science.
The following 10 individuals are in favor of activities which are clearly known to
pollute the air, water, and soil:
Richard Belzer James Bus Samuel Cohen Tony Cox

James Enstrom John D. Graham Michael Honeycutt
Walt Hufford James Klaunig Kimberly White
These people consistently side with industry when it comes to protecting the public
from toxic hazards, regardless of the scientific evidence. They also falsely accuse the
EPA of being unscientific to try to undermine its credibility.
Please do not approve any of these 22 people for membership on the SAB. They
clearly have an agenda to undermine the agency's legislated duties to protect the
American public from health hazards which are caused by human related activities.
They want to reverse the progress which has been made over the last generation at
the behest of industries they have worked for and/or represented. Do NOT put them
in a position to do this.
Thank you.

Dear Mr. Carpenter,

I am frankly appalled by some of the names currently under consideration for the science
advisory board. At the very least, such persons should have a background in basic science. Yet
many of these people -- whether because they are grotesquely ineducable or because they are
viciously denying facts they know to be true -- openly dispute facts about climate change that
have not been subject to RATIONAL disagreement for thirty years or more. These names
include Edwin Berry, Alan Carlin, Joseph D’Aleo, Keven Dayaratna, Paul Dreissen, Gordon
Fulks, Craig Idso, Richard Keen, David LeGates, Anthony Lupo, David Stevenson and H.
Leighton Steward.
Still another group have made it clear that they openly disdain not only science, but public
health as well. These are persons whose only interest is in advancing-short term profits for the
incredibly wealthy, without even the tiniest thought or concern for the long-term damage they
do to the environment, and to the communities that will suffer for decades and even centuries
from the vast amounts of pollution these hypocrites would spew into the environment. These
persons include Richard Belzer, James Bus, Samuel Cohen, Tony Cox, James Enstrom, John
D. Graham, Michael Honeycutt, Walt Hufford, James Klaunig and Kimberly White.
None of the above named individuals have any business being considered for a position on the

I believe it is extremely important to have real scientists on the Science Advisory Board that have

The Environmental Protection Agency’s Science Advisory Board is very influential in setting the tone for what the

Dear Mr. Carpenter,

Although I'm a Prof. of Physics at UCLA (400 refereed publications, h-index=74;
former Presidential Young Investigator), I have also followed very closely for
decades the very troubled history of the EPA regulations, especially of CO2 and
fine particulate matter. It is vital to finally get some balance onto the SAB on these
multi-billion dollar issues.
Dr. Jim Enstrom, whose excellent work I know very well, is an outstanding
epidemiologist whose expertise and judgement are desperately needed on the
Board.
These other nominees, all of whom I'm familiar with, would also be outstanding
choices:
Belzer,
Carlin,
Cox,
Dayaranta,
Driessen,
Fulks,
Honeycutt,
Idso,
Legates,
Lupo,
Milloy,
Berry,
D’Aleo,
Phalen,
Stewart
and Young
Those are definitely your best choices. But if not all of these experts can get on, we
could at least hope to have some relatively Neutral (ie. open minded) people on the
Board. so without knowing anything about these people, they must be better than
the political/academic activists that dominate that list. Why? Because these
candidates have actual real world experience with the vital economic forces in our
country that have to face all of the realities of government overregulation, whether
they work in the energy field, industry or farming. We need some producers, not
just power-mad regulators. So I see these as reasonable
second choice picks:

Mr. Carpenter,
As a previous owner of a 73 year family construction company that was forced to close its
doors in June of this year (2017) due to regulations implemented by the California Air
Resources Board that made all of my diesel equipment illegal to use in California, I strongly
support Mr. Milloy’s recommendations for nominations to the SAB. These regulations by
CARB where “justified” using “statistical studies” bought and paid for by the CARB, claiming
diesel particulate matter was killing hundreds if not thousands per year. They now have been
proven wrong but it was too late for my firm, Delta Construction Company, Inc. (and the
regulations have not been withdrawn to date).
It was a sad day for me when I was forced to close my doors due to “bastardized science”. The
recommendations below represent in my view; real, honest scientists that will serve the
Country well.
I also agree with his “NO” recommendations; especially Mr. Kleinman, who had a direct hand

Subject: [SPAM] Comments on SAB candidates
Dear Mr. Carpenter,

These are my comments on the list of candidates for the SAB.
Basically, I endorse the recommendations of Steve Milloy. For your reference, here they are:
FAVORABLE:
Richard Belzer — PhD in public policy. Cost-benefit analysis expert. Helped kill much
regulation while working at the Office of Management and Budget. Familiar with all EPA
shenanigans.
James Bus — PhD pharmacology. Ex-Dow Chemical. The kind of scientist that made Dow
Chemical the great company it was. Friend of JunkScience.com for decades.
Alan Carlin — retired EPA — but the kind of EPA employee we like. Climate skeptic.
Tony Cox — PhD in risk analysis. Consultant. Expert in air quality epidemiology. Multiple
strong publications on air quality.
Joe D’Aleo — Chief meteorologist at Weatherbell. Helped uncover NOAA/NASA falsification of
US temperature data.
Kevin Dayaratna — PhD statistician with Heritage Foundation. very interested in EPA
statistical shenanigans.
Paul Driessen — Lawyer. Science writer. Ex-green. Friend of JunkScience.com for decades.
Jim Enstrom — PhD physicist. Career epidemiologist at UCLA. Author of major studies
debunking EPA air quality claims. Persecuted by EPA mafia for being right on air quality.
Gordon Fulks — PhD astrophysicist. Climate skeptic. Nuclear power and air quality expert.
Michael Honeycutt — Director of Toxicology for state of Texas. PhD in toxicology. Air quality
expert.
Craig Idso — Center for Study of CO2 Science. Phd in Geography. Climate skeptic.
David Legates — Professor of Climatology at University of Delaware. Past state climatologist.
Climate skeptic.
Robert F. Phalen — Professor of Medicine, UC-Irvine. Co-driector at Air Pollution Health
Effects Laboratory. A long-time voice of scientific sanity inside the beast.
Richard Smith — PhD statistician, University of North Carolina. Co-author of the California
study debunking notion that PM2.5 kills.
David Stevenson — Cesar Rodney Institute. Entrepreneur. Trump EPA Transition Team.
Donald van der Vaart — PhD environmental scientist and lawyer. Former chief of North
Carolina Department of Environmental Protection.
Stan Young — PhD Statistican. Retired from National Institute of Statistical Sciences. Co-
author of the California study debunking notion that PM2.5kills.
UNFAVORABLE:
Ana Diez Roux — Long-time EPA crony and air quality junk scientist. Conflict of interest
($34,900,315 in EPA grants). Already served on CASAC. Is currently on corrupted CASAC PM
Subcommittee (2015-2018).
William Farland — Helped EPA railroad secondhand smoke in early 1990s. Helped EPA
arrange whitewas of illegal human experimentation at National Academy of Sciences.
Mark Frampton — Long-time EPA crony and air quality junk scientist. Conducted
illegal/unethical human experiments on behalf of EPA. Conflict of interest ($17,447,566 in EPA
grants). Is already serving on corrupted CASAC PM Subcommittee (2015-2018).
Michael T. Kleinman — Long-time EPA/CARB crony and air quality junk scientist. Conflict of
interest ($18,250,432 in EPA grants).
George Thurston — Long-time EPA crony and air quality junk scientist. Conflict of interest
($10,795,914 in EPA grants).
Additional: I personally know Carlin, D’Aleo, Fulks, and Idso. All would be excellent members of the
SAB. In the case of Roux, I have reviewed her record, and Milloy’s remark that she is an “air quality
junk scientist” way understates the case. She is a terrible embarrassment to the U.S. government,
and needs to go immediately.

you in the next few weeks

The EPA Administrator appoints members up to three year terms and the Board usually meets two
times a year and conducts 5-10 teleconferences to discuss reports and products before providing
advice to the Administrator. Most meetings are held in the Washington, D.C. or Research Triangle
Park N.C. area.

The SAB is a Federal Advisory Committee established by Congress mandated to advise the agency on
scientific and technical matters. It is administered by the EPA Science Advisory Board Staff Office
though a Designated Federal Officer. All meetings are open to the public. SAB panelists are
compensated for their time preparing for and participating in meetings and developing work
products. Official government travel, lodging, and per diem expenses also are provided.

If selected to serve on the Board, you would be required to complete a confidential financial
disclosure form (EPA Form 3110-48) to allow the SAB Staff Office to evaluate any possible conflict of
interest from your investments and holdings. We will also ask you to become a Special Government
Employee and adhere to the government ethics requirements. Information on the disclosure and
ethics requirements is available on the SAB website at:
