re: Trump mandates all EPA data to be reviewed prior to release

I don't think you really understand anything about the publishing and review process of scientific data. As I stated earlier, typically scientific studies undergo significant review prior to them being published by journals, magazines and the like. Who is reviewing the information of EPA studies prior to their release? If there is no independent review in place or very weak one, then that raises significant concerns about their data. No one should be publishing data, especially a govt agency if these standards aren't in place.

The EPA published papers are peer reviewed, internally and externally.

A Trump administration spokesman said Wednesday that political appointees will not be interfering with or filtering scientific communications at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Doug Ericksen, spokesman for the political team overseeing transition operations at the EPA on behalf of Trump, said it was “inaccurate” for The Associated Press to write in a story that all scientific studies and data coming from the EPA would undergo political reviews.
Ericksen said his comments to the AP were regarding officials’ ongoing review of the EPA’s website and communications mechanisms for potential changes under President Trump.
“It doesn’t mean everything that comes out of EPA is going to go through a filter of political appointees with degrees in communications. That’s not what’s going to happen,” Ericksen told The Hill.
Ericksen, who is a state lawmaker in Washington, said that some changes might come to how science and data come out of the EPA.
But those changes would be dictated by scientists, not political officials, he said, adding, “Any changes will be science-based.”
