The genesis of Texas' lawsuit against the Environmental Protection Agency regarding findings that greenhouse gases endanger human health was in the EPA's failure to abide by its own policies, according to Houston-based attorney Richard O. Faulk. "Instead of following its own rules, which require an objective and independent evaluation of the scientific basis for climate change, the EPA, in its rush to regulate, deferred to the United Nation's assessment without critical analysis - including the studies recently shown to be unreliable," says Faulk, chair of the firmwide Litigation Department at Gardere Wynne Sewell LLP. He stresses that the EPA's policies are a "fiscal dead end," pointing to a new study released today by the Texas Public Policy Foundation that shows EPA's regulations will disastrously impact Texas industry and jobs.
