I usually have high confidence that scientists will do their jobs. If a Republican controlled EPA confirms the catastrophic effects of climate change, you would expect more bipartisan support to tackle the problem. As far as I can tell, conservative viewpoint on climate change is varied, from 'the effects of man made climate change will be mild and not catastrophic' to 'golabal warming is caused by increased solar activity'
The point I was making was that there is no reason to stir up hysteria just because you heard the words 'Republican' and 'EPA' in the same sentence

- afpx 9y agoYour confidence in this administration's eagerness to fund scientific research is ... well, surprising. To me, at least. But, are you confident enough in their willingness to continue unbiased scientific research into climate change that you would bet money on it? I am very interested in a friendly (but financially significant) wager now. :)
