Or… and here’s my own little conspiracy theory… it was pushed by bad actors at the EPA, as such an “unusual step” could serve as a reverse psy-op to further initiate and entrench the nutcases who believe in extreme weather-modifying geoengineering, because “why is the EPA trying so hard to tell us it’s not real, it must be a cover-up, ABOLISH THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECTION AGENCY NOW!” (/s)
It does read as an earnest attempt by the reasonable people at the EPA, with info in clear language that attempts to appeal to a reader in saying their questions are valid. Even so, it will probably fuel the above conspiratorial thinking either way.
Hell, it’s already fueled mine. I don’t know who or what parts of this government we can trust anymore.
