D<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a move that will boost the spirits of trial lawyers and climate activists the world over, a branch of the United Nations-affiliated&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/world-health-organization\/\">World Health Organization\u2019s<\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/international-agency-for-research\/\">International Agency for Research<\/a>&nbsp;on Cancer has classified \u201cautomotive gasoline and some oxygenated gasoline additives\u201d as Group 1 \u201ccarcinogenic\u201d compounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/international-agency-for-research\/\">agency<\/a>&nbsp;is taking action as the Trump administration reverses Biden-era plans to phase out the production of gas-powered cars and trucks in favor of electric vehicles amid slumping sales of EVs in the U.S. and Europe. With regulatory actions against fossil fuels in the name of combating climate change losing steam, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/international-agency-for-research\/\">research agency\u2019s<\/a>&nbsp;designation promises to open a new line of attack for green energy advocates, this one in the courtroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based in Lyon, France, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/international-agency-for-research\/\">International Agency for Research<\/a>&nbsp;on Cancer is tasked by the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/world-health-organization\/\">WHO<\/a>&nbsp;to investigate the causes of cancer. It conducts hazard evaluations and publishes its findings in The Monographs. For decades, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/international-agency-for-research\/\">agency\u2019s<\/a>&nbsp;evaluations, assembled by its monograph working groups, have served as the basis for litigation against whatever party or parties are deemed responsible for producing the substance designated as carcinogenic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEarlier IACR evaluations of the active ingredient in the pesticide Roundup (glyphosate), the active ingredient in the pharmaceutical drug Actos (pioglitazone), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and benzene either spurred or rekindled personal injury litigation surrounding those compounds,\u201d notes a recent analysis by the Washington Legal Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once a substance has been listed by the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/international-agency-for-research\/\">research agency<\/a>&nbsp;as a carcinogen, it is fair game for personal injury litigants. The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/international-agency-for-research\/\">agency\u2019s<\/a>&nbsp;findings on gasoline, a fossil fuel long targeted for its alleged role in climate change, will be no exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One promising venue for launching lawsuits is California\u2019s Proposition 65, officially known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Chemical Enforcement Act of 1986. The law targets chemicals \u201cknown to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm and requires businesses to inform Californians about exposures to such chemicals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn addition to inciting personal injury litigation,\u201d the Washington Legal Foundation analysis points out, \u201can IACR classification of \u2018carcinogenic\u2019 (Group 1) or \u2018probably carcinogenic\u2019 (Group 2A) results in automatic listing as carcinogenic under California\u2019s Proposition 65 law. Under Proposition 65, bounties are available to private citizens or organizations who bring lawsuits claiming products containing levels of listed carcinogens that exceed the state\u2019s safe harbor level. These Proposition 65 lawsuits have been brought alleging undisclosed carcinogens in coffee and French fries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How good is the science underpinning the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/international-agency-for-research\/\">International Agency for Research<\/a>&nbsp;on Cancer\u2019s carcinogenic findings? Historically, the Environmental Protection Agency was not shy about imposing regulations based on dubious science and refused to accept the agency\u2019s evaluation of the pesticide Roundup, saying the data was substandard. Similarly, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration found the agency\u2019s data supporting its classification of the food sweetener Aspartame as carcinogenic, lacking scientific rigor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAdditionally,\u201d the Washington Legal Foundation analysis points out, \u201cinterested parties should be aware that an IARC evaluation is a \u2018closed\u2019 analysis \u2014 no peer review or public comment is permitted, and no transcript is kept of the meeting or its deliberations. Because IARC is shrouded in secrecy, exposing flaws in its process can be difficult [after the fact].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">None of this will likely dissuade plaintiffs from using the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/international-agency-for-research\/\">International Agency for Research<\/a>&nbsp;on Cancer to shake down gasoline producers for personal gain, in connection with climate litigation, or both. The agency\u2019s shaky scientific credentials may ultimately doom such cases in court, but not before vast sums have been wasted clogging up the court system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The research agency\u2019s action underscores the importance of President Trump\u2019s withdrawal of the U.S. from the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/world-health-organization\/\">WHO<\/a>, a step he undertook on the first day of his second term. President Trump, disgusted with the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/world-health-organization\/\">WHO\u2019s<\/a>&nbsp;performance during the COVID-19 crisis, pulled the U.S. out of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/world-health-organization\/\">organization<\/a>&nbsp;at the end of his first term, only to have the U.S. rejoin it during the Biden administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In explaining his second withdrawal, President Trump cited the same reasons he gave for his first pullout, namely, \u201cthe&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/world-health-organization\/\">organization\u2019s<\/a>&nbsp;mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic that arose out of Wuhan, China, and other global health crises, its failure to adopt urgently needed reforms, and its inability to demonstrate independence from the inappropriate influence of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/world-health-organization\/\">WHO<\/a>&nbsp;member states.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/international-agency-for-research\/\">International Agency for Research<\/a>&nbsp;on Cancer, a creature of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/topics\/world-health-organization\/\">WHO<\/a>, embodies its parent organization\u2019s scientific pretensions and political arrogance.
