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
