"Acting EPA chief Andrew Wheeler today announced a new slate of appointments to the agency's Science Advisory Board that mingles mainstream academics with an Alabama professor who rejects mainstream climate science.
"In a fair, open, and transparent fashion, EPA reviewed hundreds of qualified applicants nominated for this committee," Wheeler said in a news release this afternoon announcing eight new members to the board along with eight reappointments of Obama-era members who had already served one term.
"Members who will be appointed or reappointed include experts from a wide variety of scientific disciplines who reflect the geographic diversity needed to represent all ten EPA regions," said Wheeler."
