Talk:Science and Environmental Policy Project
Relocated material from parallel SEPP page that I deleted. Have edited this down to remove unnecessary hyperbole and tangential material.

Bennett serves as an advisor to the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow:Bennett accused the government of being slow and clumsy in spreading the word of the revised view (EPA revised its views in 1990 and now says that asbestos, should be sealed and left where it is, rather than removed altogether) in its 1990 asbestos report known as the Green Book. A 1990 study said that the form, of asbestos known as crysolite, which, makes up more: than 90 percent of asbestos in U.S. buildings, was. relatively harmless.

We had previously identified Mike Bennett, but decided not to approach due to the: following comment he made in a commentary, "For almost a generation the American public has been the victim of a hoax perpetuated by its own government, that cancer is caused by environmental factors, and particularly industry, and not by personal habits primarily smoking." However, during a recent conversation with Bonner Cohen, he suggested Bennett as a qualified, and, most likely interested, candidate to author the IAQ article. Bennett is a personal friend of Cohen's. ...

Relocating unref'd material from a page on a former SEPP person. --Bob Burton 01:20, 28 Apr 2006 (EDT) SEPP was, since its founding in 1990, skeptical about ozone depletion and global warming.
