Scott Pruitt to head the EPA

Res Ipsa Loquitur        

Trump’s EPA pick is causing green heads to explode

It’s like Pearl Harbor Day for them, like somebody made a sneak attack.. Some reactions on Twitter:
“The naming of a climate denier like Scott Pruitt to head the EPA is nothing less than an effort to undermine the agency’s core mission to safeguard our environment. On the campaign trail President-elect Trump vowed to break America’s commitment to the Paris Climate Agreement, to open our public lands to drilling, and to dismantle the EPA. By nominating Scott Pruitt he’s making it clear he intends to follow through on those promises.


UPDATE: as I (Anthony Watts) was writing this, I got this press release:

CLCV Statement on Pruitt’s Nomination for EPA Administrator

Oakland, CA – In response to news reports that Trump will nominate Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt as EPA Administrator, California League of Conservation Voters CEO Sarah Rose issued the following statement:

“The naming of a climate denier like Scott Pruitt to head the EPA is nothing less than an effort to undermine the agency’s core mission to safeguard our environment. On the campaign trail President-elect Trump vowed to break America’s commitment to the Paris Climate Agreement, to open our public lands to drilling, and to dismantle the EPA. By nominating Scott Pruitt he’s making it clear he intends to follow through on those promises.

“Pruitt has sued the EPA, has fought environmental protections enacted by President Obama, and has denied the science of climate change itself. He represents the very threats the EPA should protect against, not be headed by. The California League of Conservation Voters calls on our Senators to reject this wrong-headed nomination which puts our families and communities at risk.

“California has a unique role to play. We are the sixth largest economy in the world. The decisions we make here, the policies we create, and how we respond to Trump’s attacks on our environmental protections will determine the pace of progress these next four years. We must organize to defend our hard-fought victories because every Californian deserves clean air to breathe and clean water to drink.”

(Here's one)
Obama’s EPA thinks we should sacrifice ourselves for climate change. But ‘climate change’ is leftist manufactured bs. NASA with NOAA has engaged in data manipulation of the highest order, whose sole intention is to produce a narrative opposed by the evidence. And in fact there is ZERO evidence that CO2 affect climate temperatures at all. CO2 does not lead but *follows* changes in temperatures. This outstanding 4 minute video makes that point about CO2 clear as day:



Thank You President Trump!

Senator Jim Inhofe of my Okie neck of the woods was THE Grand Pooh Bah of "Deniers". These guys are well acquainted. Trump is killing this. Mattis, Kelly, Pruit, Sessions....., "hold on a minute, I'm not used to winning, my side hurts, hell he's not even in the business yet. I'm not tired of winning, but I sure ain't used to it. -Anymouse

As I understand the Constitution, California is entitled to let CALEPA run amok just like the feds except they can do harm to only Calif. Let's see how long they hold their ranking in "World economies" after that. -- General Petty Officer 5th Class Skyhawker Doug
