In an opinion piece published Sunday in The Miami Herald , Carl Hiaasen says that recent GOP attacks on the Environmental Protection Agency “ignore the problem” and that claims that the agency is a “job killer” are attempts to get campaign donations from petroleum and coal conglomerates. # Conservatives have certainly come out hard against the EPA in recent months. Hiaasen cites a speech by presidential candidate Michele Bachmann, who recently told an Iowa crowd : “I guarantee you the EPA will have doors locked and lights turned off, and they will only be about conservation.
“„Like Bachmann, Perry refuses to accept that global warming is real. He launched a lawsuit to stop the EPA from enacting rules to limit greenhouse gasses from oil refineries, power plants and other industrial sources. #
