EPA’s Faith-Based Pollution Standards
Part 2 in Joel Schwartz's look at EPA new rules on particulates. The punchline:
Thus, the entire PM2.5 regulatory enterprise rests fundamentally on the results of small and inconsistent statistical associations that are likely the spurious result of publication and model-selection biases.
