What would be the nefarious "agenda" of the EPA? Are there legitimate non-government scientists who disagree with the info they provide?

Almost surely. The EPA has never been known for it's exactness in their research. Witness the renowned accuracy of the EPA mileage numbers. :)

I grew up in the 60's and doubting government data is a fact of life. You believe what you want, and I'll believe what I want, and I guarantee that I'll be less surprised in the results.

Yet we should or do all agree, us and our good, hockey playing neighbors, that we’re all thankful we’re not residents of one of the numerous 3rd world poop holes.
And there IS some good done by the govt. But to blindly trust the motives behind all of it, every day, is dangerous.
And the whole point of the discussion here is no different than the rest of them. There are some (many, unfortunately) who rather blindly through idealism and not realism simply refuse to believe or admit that the “next best thing” isn’t always, rarely in fact, exactly as it may appear just at face value.
However this is not new. It is human behavior. There are informed realists, there are gullible realists, there are informed and uninformed and gullible idealists. And there is someone or some entity waiting around every corner to take advantage of anyone and anything they can.
(Or more politely put, “capitalize” on anything they can.).
We are no different. I’ve met very few people in my 50 years that aren’t interested in making the best of an opportunity for themselves. If people weren’t interested in that we’d still be sitting around campfires stabbing each other and our food with sharpened sticks and rocks!
