The EPA Let Companies Estimate Their Own Pollution Levels. We Discovered Real Emissions Are Far Worse.

• Unreliable Pollution Reports: For decades, some big polluters were allowed to estimate their emissions using methods the government knew were often unreliable.
• Real Pollution Levels: Air monitors at coke manufacturers, chemical plants and other industrial facilities showed far higher emissions than the estimates, records viewed by ProPublica show.
• Trump Halts New Rules: The Trump administration has halted rules requiring more than 130 industrial plants to install air monitors and comply with new emission standards.

I see Mr. Gates has done an about-turn on climate change. Maybe he thinks nobody will notice. 

 

 

More Democratic corruption Trump must clean up.
