EPA chief Scott Pruitt:

1. Paris Agreement is European ploy to put the US economy in shackles

2. EPA head Scott Pruitt denies that carbon dioxide causes global warming

3. Scott Pruitt, the current EPA administrator appointed by President Donald Trump, does not have an accessible public schedule. Freedom of Information Act request for copies of it have been filed several journalists have filed similar requests that have gone unfilled, as has the Center for Biological Diversity, which recently filed a lawsuit seeking the documents.

4. Pruitt represented Tulsa and Wagoner Counties in the Oklahoma Senate from 1998 until 2006. In 2010, Pruitt was elected Attorney General of Oklahoma. In that role, he was viewed as a proponent of federalism, supporting religious freedom laws and opposing abortion rights, same-sex marriage, the Affordable Care Act, and environmental regulations as a self-described "leading advocate against the EPA's activist agenda".[2] He fought the agency's efforts on climate and clear air in several lawsuits, often closely coordinating with the fossil fuel industry, which supported him with almost $300,000 in campaign contributions.[3][4] In 2012, Pruitt was elected as chairman of the Republican Attorneys General Association, and re-elected for a second term in February 2013.[5][6]

5. Pruitt rejects the scientific consensus that human activities are a primary contributor to climate change.[3][7][8][9] He specifically rejects the stance of the scientific community, including US agencies NASA and NOAA, that carbon dioxide is the primary contributor.

6. Pruitt has described himself as "a leading advocate against the EPA’s activist agenda.

7. As Oklahoma Attorney General, Pruitt sued the EPA at least 14 times. Regulated industry companies or trade associations who were financial donors to Pruitt's political causes were co-parties in 13 of these 14 cases. These cases included suing to block the anti-climate change Clean Power Plan four times, challenging mercury pollution limits twice, ozone pollution limits once, fighting the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule and the Clean Water Rule,[92] as well as fighting regulations on methane emissions.[25] Pruitt stated at his Senate confirmation hearing in January 2017 that the EPA has an "obligation" to regulate carbon dioxide in accordance with a 2007 Supreme Court case and 2009 EPA decision establishing carbon emissions as a threat to public health.[93]

8. Under Pruitt, Oklahoma sued the EPA and lost on challenges to the EPA’s regulatory authority over mercury and other toxins, as well as pollutants responsible for creating regional atmospheric haze. It challenged the manner in which EPA sued unrelated entities and for what Pruitt termed the agency's "sue and settle" practices. Oklahoma further sued and lost after the EPA declined to provide extensive records in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, a request the federal judge hearing the case found to be overly broad and economically burdensome.

9. On Sunday, December 7, 2014, The New York Times published a front-page story highlighting that Pruitt had used his office's stationery to send form letters written by energy industry lobbyists to federal agencies during public comment


Etc etc etc

Because the EPA has become a piece of shit. It has too much power. They find a certain kind of insect on your property and you are not allowed to mow the grass. If a bird can see a puddle on your property it can be declared a federal wetland and you lose use of it without compensation.

Actually Nixon started the EPA, so you liberals should be happy with its demise.

challenging mercury pollution limits twice,


Why not ? They used to put it in baby vaccines. How could it be harmless ? What are the effects ?

But it had been linked positively to neurological problems and took it out of most vaccines. I am sure they did not want to have more evidence mount up.

And lead, what a crock of shit. Sure it has bad effects, but if your kid is eating lead paint chips off the wall you are not watching him and you certainly aren't teaching him. and lead (tetraethyl lead) in gasoline was not taken out for any environmental reason, it was because it clogs up the catalytic in cars.

The EPS has needed some of its teeth taken out for the last few decades and I am glad to see it happen.

Actually, you have it backwards, term. Catalytic converters were necessary AFTER they removed lead from gasoline.
Tetraethyl lead was replaced as an anti-knock compound by MTBE (methyl-tertbutyl ether) This was expensive as fuck and played hell with ground water when an underground tank leaked. Some bright guy figured out that ethanol also made a great anti-knock compound and is much cheaper than MTBE so that is now the standard.

As for removing toxic metals from consumer products, you may recall that the only treatment for syphilis was to use a urethral syringe and shoot mercury up into the urethra into the bladder.

Ain't modern science great?

I do not have it backwards, I know what the fuck I am talking about.

Further on that, used to be there was no test to see if the cat was working if the engine was running at perfect stoichometry. This is when the only things coming from the exhaust are CO2 and H2O. there is of course a little bit of residue due to additives in the fuel but they were insignificant.

Now, they have to detune the engine to keep the cat lit. There has to be some O2 and HC in the exhuast to do so. If the engine is running properly, that is at stoichoetry, the cat will ot light and the second O2 (lambda for overseas folk) will not detect the lower O2 level in the post cat exhaust ad it will throw a code, light the light and you can't get license plates.

The slightly rich mixure really does not gurt drivability, but it does affect gas mileage adversely. It does not help drivability either, old carberated cars that were setup for racing had the odle mixture set on the rich side so that when the pedal got slammed to the metal there was ore gas in the manifold to keep up with the inrush of air. In other words the acceleration pump was not always enough.

Look it up. They will not come out and say it but if you learn how this shit works it comes clear. It is not the backpressure that is needed from tyhe cat in a modern car. Possibly in a carberated car, but not with fuel injection.

I made alot of money fixing cars that nobody else could make pass emissions. I can almost always tell you what is wrong just by looking at the emissions readings. I come from a car family that built racecars until they mostly died off. We've had cars that would pop wheelies and run up to 100 MPH in second gear. We had one rip the front bolts out of the seat and my cousin found himself in the back seat with the car still moving. That must have been awkward, I would have loved to be there. But that's what happens with modified rear suspension and torque out the ass.

So no, I do not have it backwards.

Ethanol is not the best solution, but we got a corn lobby. Ethanol hurts mileage and does nothing for driveability.

Actually the same thing could be accomplished with EGR but that is very detrimental to driveability. Wolksvagon recently got busted for their diesels shutting off EGR during normal driving. When lowered on to the rollers at the emissions station it would turn it back on. How did they accomplish it ? They used the pulses from the ABS/traction control. Sneaky krauts, but ingenious. Still dunno what happens to the cars. The company got a big fine but I don't know if that'll be the end of it

Enough hijack.

its about time somone destroys that criminal organization! that steals cancer cure patents and falsifies tests





By 1977, he established the Burzynski Clinic (1) in Houston, Texas. Burzynski was even curing patients who had already endured the maximum chemo and radiation treatments doled out by the toxic American system.

His patients TESTIFIED IN COURT that his natural medicine save them and their children’s lives. Burzynski’s anti-neoplastons treatment–a special combination of proteins and amino acids–was curing lethal cancerous tumors, even the ones that attach themselves to the spinal cord and brain – the same ones for which U.S. doctors and oncologists send you home to die.


Even the FDA did not deny in court that Burzynski’s treatments worked, they just tried to shut him down for shipping medications over state and international lines–as they did not want Burzynski’s name and treatment method to be nationally recognized or internationally recognized, for that matter, for fear his treatment would become mainstream and undermine the whole westernized and allopathic chemical-cancer-industrial-complex we know today. (4) Even the Texas medical board attempts to suppress this all-important research.

The worst part is that the FDA has had success shutting down natural cures that have more than a 90% cure rate on newly diagnosed cancer patients. The only patients the FDA would even let Burzynski work on were the ones who had already been tortured with the usual gamut of chemo, surgery and radiation attempts that failed.

This all took place at a time when former President Nixon had just waged his administration’s fake “War on Cancer” (a.k.a.–the National Cancer Act of 1971).

The FDA had repeatedly attempted to shut down Burzynski by crippling his finances by dragging him through the courts, wasting nearly $100 million in taxpayer money. This is all on court record.

FDA illegally steals thousands of patient files from Burzynski in office raid

The FDA seizes 12,000 patient records from Burzynski’s office. They end up holding them for more than seven years, not allowing the doctor to see his own patient files.

This is illegal, by the way, in our great country, but the FDA has nobody to answer to, when any scientist or doctor “undermines the system,” by finding a cure for America’s top preventable disease epidemics, including cancer, diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, heart disease, and the list goes on.

Eventually, the FDA stole Burzynki’s patent, PURPOSELY DILUTED the most important ingredients, reran his tests and lied to America and the world, saying his treatments never worked. In their attempt to bury the great cancer cure the FDA patented the diluted version and destroy the records of the real version, so no doctor or scientist can ever work on it to fix it. Then they say it never worked to begin with – “end of story.” This is the standard definition of allopathic–bury the cure, treat the symptoms with chemicals. Period.



There is a documentary film must see that is comprehensive on this called, “Cancer is Serious Business,” completed in two parts. (http://www.burzynskimovie.com/)


Extensive experience treating cancer

Dr. Burzynski has treated cancer with combinations of targeted agents. He has authored and co-authored more than 300 scientific publications, including presentations and collaborations with investigators at NCI, the University of Kurume Medical School in Japan, NCI, the Medical College of Georgia, and the Imperial College of Science and Technology of London. He is a member of the American Association of Cancer Research (AACR), the Society for Neuroscience, the Society for Neuro-oncology, the Royal Medical Association (U.K.), and the Academy of Medical Ethics. He holds hundreds of patents in 35 countries covering more than a dozen proprietary scientific inventions. Today, Dr. Burzynski is still curing brain cancer at his clinic in Texas. (5)



The American Cancer Society has denounced Burzynski entirely, as has Cancer Research UK. Their poor state of research is based entirely on funding from handouts from pharma lobbyists pushing chemical drugs. Nobody is paying them to research natural cures, that is for sure.

Of course, if independent scientists use the faulty and purposely weakened sub-versions of Burzynski’s formula, and run the trials too short, (like Big Pharma likes to do), then they will not be able to reproduce the positive results reported in Burzynski’s studies, as NCI researchers have “observed,” and still claim that the combinational use of peptides and amino acids are not proven. Even Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center jumped on the allopathic bandwagon and accused Burzynski of having no evidence to support the anticancer effects in humans. They obviously have not attended court where family after family testifies about their survival thanks to antineoplastons, and they haven’t taken one look at all the clinical trials and research available. The cancer industrial complex is quite the force to reckon with here, but somehow, Burzynski (and the truth) has prevailed.


Antineoplaston therapy is a non-toxic alternative to chemotherapy – so no medical coverage applies


http://www.truthwiki.org/dr-stanislaw-r-burzynski-the-burzynski-clinic/


medical coverage only applies to mob medicine, and you think this gubmint racketeering is bad now wait till health care is completely under the gubmints control.

We are so fucked, oh btw thanks lucy.

good the fuck riddance!!!

Pure gas without ethanol, Tert butyl lead, MTBE or another Oxygen containing compound knocks like hell. ('m a chemist)
Ethanol NOT derived from corn is the best solution.
We both hate the corn lobby.
There are a lot of better sources of ethanol.

By the way, good to see you posting again term.
Take care

You left out; the satellites can spot a micro-turd on your driveway and you can't drive on it for two years until the EPA determines if it's from an endangered species or not.

"If a bird [satellite] can see a puddle on your property it can be declared a federal wetland and you lose use of it without compensation."

It's not quite as bad as that. If the tiny puddle of water is on your roof, that only means you have to go without heat in winter for two years so as to not evaporate the sample before they get around to it.

And if the sun has a solar flare, it's because of liberals wanting all this solar energy an' shit.

Matching facts to facts, delirium to delirium. Who can tell? Who cares?

But as for the Waffen EPA Schutzstaffel (SS), what's to be done?

Screw St. Elmo's Fire.

It's time the US, with the EPA out of the way, returns to the days of St. Cuyahoga's River Fire.

This is actually why I avoid "'50s' house" respondents from the Cleveland region.

It takes a hell of a big spark to ignite motor oil, even if somewhat less for various fluid haz mat, to realistically set the scene.

I remember then. It was the early 1970s. That doesn't change the fact that the led was remove because the high heat got the lead out so to speak and it coated the pellets, which at the time were quite an expensive material, palladium at least, some had a platinum alloy I think. These old big cats bring exorbitant prices on the scrap market for that reason. The ones in newer cars ain't worth shit, they have found much cheaper materials. Actually certain foreign cars form the 1970s until maybe 1990 can bring inb a hell of alot of money, I am talking like $1,000. Same with big trucks that use gasoline engines. Diesels are exempt of course but now they have some sort of scrubber on them that accoplishes something similar.

But they did indeed introduce unleaded gasoline right when cars first had cats on them because of course nobody would but a car for which they could not get fuel.

This state does it wrong, they deny you plates. One of my failures, though I did figure it out but too late, was putting out too much nitrous. HC and CO were within limits, this usually indicates a clogged EGR. He guy who owned it was a wrench, I did the troubleshooting and he changed the parts. We made some money. We flipped a few cars. Turns out the only thing it could be was some partly clogged injectors. While the engine (a V6 2800 GM) had no discernible miss, there were obviously lean cylinders and rich cylinders. The lean cylinder were obviously putting out the nitrous. But he had been switching the car between he and his olady's name for so long the state refused to issue any more temp tags for that car in either one of their names. By then he lost his connection for cheap parts and injectors would have been too expensive so off to the boneyard it went.

Wha the state should do is simply charge you more if your car is putting out too much pollution. Those people could not afford a new car or even a really good used one. (and cash for clunkers is something they should have been lined up and shot for, I know a little bit too much about the ramifications of that to want ANY government intervention).

Now, if I had millions of dollars I would buy the oldest car possible that is easy to drive. Something from the 1970s. Actually a 1970 Olds Toronado, one of the best cars ever built in this country. I do not want a digital dashboard, I disconnect the airbags and I am looking for that seatbelt buzzer. What do I do ? I watch where the hell I am going. I think there should be spikes on the dash, no seatbelts, absolutely solid frame, absolutely solid doors. That way you hit something you die, but whoever you hit lives. In two year no accidents. And people will learn that proper following distance is not one inch per one hundred miles per hour. I want it like the old days, hit something and it HURTS. Pain teaches quite effectively.

Anyway, for a while I had this 1973 225 which had been slightly modified. It had HEI which was not in the book for that year and I never tore it down to see what else, but it responded like a rubber band. I used to put half premium and half unleaded in it so I got ALL the additives. It was the last year without the cat, and was only exempt because it was the big engine, the 455. Trucks were still exempt for a few years.

But the point is, taking the lead out of the gasoline was not to get lead out of the environment. Nowada6s if they find one chip of lead based paint in your house you need a crew of people in space suits, have a tent over the whole house and all this shit. you might as well burn it down. And I still want to know what kind of people let their kids eat the paint off the walls.

The EPA needed to be defanged. The liberals cannot do math. Addition and subtraction is a foreign concept to them, all they know iss abstraction. Add like fifty grand to the price of a house and expect the real estate market to do well. My fucking ass.

Mainly, performance. They now hav V6 engines that can outperform many of the old V8s. They take less materials to build and they weigh less so even with the better performance they get better mileage. And nobody is going to stop because they rest are all doing it and they could cost themselves the market.

They have a few innovations that have taken these sutcase engines over the top, really, but nobody knows if they will last the long run.

they have gas engines with direct cylinder injection like a diesel now. there was a discussion in the 19550s about doing that but some engineers said "All that means is you can burn more gas" which is correct, but when you put that with a turbo or supercharger it can make a difference, and they are becoming more popular.

Another thing that is coming in vogue is this variable valve timing. I actually experimented with it years before it came out. I had a Pinto with the 2,000 cc engine which had a pretty discrete timing cover and used a belt. I had to change it once and then i wondered what would happen if it was off.

Well it changes the torque curve. Off one way you could slip your foot off the clutch in any gear and it would chirp the tires and go. however it would not do over 45 MPH in any gear. Off the other way you had to feather in the clutch very gently to get moving, but once you hot to a certain RPM there was this surge in power. Porsche I think ws the first to implement this, and they did it with a top timing gear that had weights in it like a distributor for advance. When Ford bought porsche my Uncle was an executive there and said they came into the board meeting with this big ass round thing and said it was a timing gear. I knew right away.

Up until then, racing cams just had moire duration, making it tricky to get them to idle smooth. Alot of this was cured with super high spark voltage and very tight control of the air fuel ratio, like in electronically injected engines. It also helped when they added more valves.

But vaariable valve timing really did the trick. Actually with that they probably couild lower the compression ratio and still have it run like a raped ape, but they are gung ho to get every last ft lb out of it, and HP. however, variable valve timing is complex to implement, and of course they want it electromnically controlled now so that if it doesn't work right Mr Goodwrench makes $$$.

To tell a higher performance engine one has to look at both the torque ad horsepower. they give you the peak torque and the lower that RPM the better, and they give you the peak HP and the higher that RPM the better. One year Corvettes came out with two engines, both 350. Onr was built by Mercury Marine. Remember boats do not have gears in a transmission like cars. The have a transmission but not changeable ratios.

So the Chevy 350 and Merc 350 had very close specs in sheer nubers, but the Merc engone had its peaks at a much wader range between RPMs. See HP is torque but baeed on RPM, when the torque rolls off, that is the peak HP. The wider torque range means you don't have ot shift as often. what's more, you can put in a taller rear end and have it better off the line as well as a higher top end.

the narrower torque range engoine will technically go just as fast, however that will require a bigger gearset in the transmission which is more prone to breakage under load, and you need more gears. That's why those peppy little shitchans out of Japan had five speeds. Transmission load is a function of venicle weight, and they weighed alot less. So actually their engineering ides were sound. A little 1.8 L engone that can merge onto the highway with no problem. Meantime a Ford Escort with their junk drivetrain couldn't get out of its own way. They were so dam slow they were a hazard, [eople would have to slow down because they just darted into the lane. They had no choice, the pedal was to the metal, what more do you want ?

Well yeah, buy a real car.

Bur them days are over. These old cars with bigblocks and all that go for five figures and if you think the insurance is high on a new car you would fal over seeing a quote for like a 970 anything, especially something nice.

Thomas Midgley Jr
Doctor Thomas Midgley Jr. (May 18, 1889 – November 2, 1944) was an American mechanical engineer and chemist. He was a key figure in a team of chemists, led by Charles F. Kettering, that developed the tetraethyllead (TEL) additive to gasoline as well as some of the first chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Over the course of his career, Midgley was granted over 100 patents

Fair points edwird and harder than you think to set water a blaze as you say. Greek fire.

Lead (Pb) it does not break down and has been liberally scattered dispersed about the Environment - whoohooo.

Anyway why are some of you waffling on about flies (humour sat etc ones aside those were funny) London still pumps billions of litres of untreated sewage into the Thames annually as another example not involving the fearsome Scottish midge.

Or using some of your dense minds that would give Pb a run for its toxicity do you think there would be a ozone layer left if it wasnt for environmentalists and scientists?

Flint water crisis Still I suppose you could douse yourself in a glass of the good stuff from Flint or just roll about the dirt anywhere. No - ozone layer (not even sure its healing yet) SP factor Pb needed guffaws

I stated its name, I gave you all a bit of the creatures CV too; which makes for horrific reading.

Do you believe trump actually chose him, or was he told to choose him and why, and by whom?

the way to go is the stirling, doubles the fuel efficiency right off the top, the really nice resonant designs would have issues that need to be designed around for cars but nasa didnt have any problems doing it, it was designed around 1800, here it is complete with cool music.

What about Stirling?


Who invented the steam driven car/engine again? I cam(e) across him in a book and his name escapes me but do you know i could find shag all about him online.

Now what was his name anyone - legend has it his patent was suppressed, and all mention of him erased from the internet....heh like my 40 foot cock guffaws
