Am I expected to believe "facts" from a government environmental agency? Been fed BS long enough to know better than that.
I don't idle needlessly, but I do when it makes sense, and I don't much care what any EPA says about it.
It is not just the EPA. We have a radio show here that discusses car/truck related issues and the hosts agree that idling should kept to a minimum on any vehicle because it causes problems. 1-2 minutes even in cold weather and then slowly drive the vehicle under light throttle. That's how I drive and I have never had any engine problem.
