A bedbug summit has been announced for February 1st in Washington DC. Unlike the Beer summit which was called because “the police acted stupidly“, the bedbug summit is necessary because the EPA acted stupidly.
The EPA has called the summit, which seems appropriate given that they created the problem. You may remember from an earlier post how we ended up with beds full of bugs:
…when Ms. Browner was the head of the EPA under Bill Clinton, she banned the use of Dursban, a chemical treatment sprayed on mattresses to prevent bedbugs. After the EPA ban went into effect it turned out that Dursban had been the victim of a junk science hit job.
By then it was too late for the EPA to admit it had been duped by activists and now ten years later New Yorkers are unable to get a good night’s sleep because of critters in their beds. Just another unintended consequence of anti-science, progressive green activism. America should rest even less easily because the mother of the bedbug problem, Carol Browner, is President Obama’s Climate Czar.
What could possibly go wrong?
Round-up tomorrow.
