Why do people trust these guys when it comes to science?

What are they wrong about?
>>7805585
not him, but the way they go about classifying chemicals as hazardous is really, really, really bad.
>>7805585
LOL
>>7805585
Classifying everything as a possible cancer causer just like the WHO.
They suck at what they try to preach regarding environmental standards.
They started the meme that secondhand smoke was bad for people.
>>7805581
Yea, I mean have you watched The Simpsons Movie?
They're pure evil
>>7805585
Well they poisoned the Colorado River, for one.
The government absolutely sucks at everything it is entrusted to do. I know because I work for the government.

>taking California seriously as an example of anything
>>7805883
Pretty sure the American EPA also does those things.
>>7805883
>They do standard toxicology. It's all founded on well-characterized science.
No they don't. They rely on companies to self report dangerous chemicals...this is a long read, but it'll make you seriously question how "good" their work is.
