(NaturalNews) In a rare demonstration of justice, the United States Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled against
a recent decision by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to
approve a new neonicotinoid pesticide known as "sulfoxaflor," because
its manufacturer, Dow Chemical, failed to submit the proper safety
studies proving that the substance doesn't harm bees.
The
chemical industry basically tried to pull another fast one with
sulfoxaflor, submitting it for approval to the EPA without providing
credible scientific evidence that it won't contribute to the growing
epidemic of "colony collapse disorder," or CCD. This is likely due to
the fact that sulfoxaflor does harm bees, and would never get approved if the full facts were revealed.
Nevertheless, the corrupt EPA attempted to ramrod this chemical through safety approvals
without any actual evidence of safety, which the Ninth Circuit found to
be speciously misguided. In a ruling overturning the EPA's decision,
the Court found the EPA's decision to be "flawed" and "not supported by
substantial evidence," effectively vacating the EPA's approval.
