The Advocate on a scientific report studying whether chemical plant emissions caused cancers in Louisiana:
Cancer in all its manifestations is a deadly disease and rightly feared. While medical science has made great strides against it, fear of the disease continues.
But if the causes of cancer are becoming clearer with time, it remains difficult to justify criticisms of careful scientific studies that do not prove activists’ assertions about the impact of industrial emissions.
A new example: LSU found that its Louisiana Tumor Registry has accurately reported cancer cases around a chemical plant much-criticized by environmentalists. But the cautious statements of statisticians amount to a “not proven” verdict about whether the emissions caused cancers, or that the Denka plant’s production of chloroprene has caused elevated levels of cancer in St. John the Baptist Parish.

You know those lame bets mayors tend to make as a way of receiving positive press?
Well, this is not that. Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan was not offering up Starbucks coffee or smoked salmon here.
“I have been hearing the rumors on the streets,” Cantrell said on Twitter. “I don’t know if they are true or not. But, I just want [Russell Wilson and Ciara] to know that if these rumors are true. Please know that the City of New Orleans will welcome you and your family with open arms!”
