We are in such a desperate situation with the climate that we pretty much have to look at which of the two is most likely to enact policies that cut carbon emissions: is it the EPA, or Congress?

The current situation is not in any way desperate. All claims that a desperate crisis exists are based on the assumption of feedback loops that do not yet show up in any actual data and in fact many temperature datasets e.g. from satellites, weather balloons or the USA's own state of the art surface temperature network show virtually no warming at all for decades. To see warming you have to look at heavily modified composite datasets that are constantly being revised using methodologies so extreme that they literally create entirely new trends where the raw data doesn't contain any.

In an environment with as much epistemic uncertainty as climatology has, it is madness to allow bureaucrats to control anything at all. They are in no way fit to make important decisions on scientific topics.

Your claims are really beyond belief. They fly in the face of everything I've seen these past several years. No warming, really?
