Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who would be on the loony anti-science fringe with Joe Mercola if he did not have a famous last name, has segued from his expertise in assuring us that v*****es cause autism to assuring Californians that natural gas does. Or something, it is hard to know what Kennedy believes, other than what Natural Resources Defense Council will tell him if it helps them build a fundraising campaign.

And the New York Times will continue to quote him, regardless of his lack of expertise or scientific knowledge, and promote the notion that natural gas in California is the same as lead in Flint, Michigan.

Because it’s the New York Times. And he’s a Kennedy.
