The EPA - Making Their Own Law Since 1970

Excellent news from the EPA ..  incoming administrator Scott Pruitt is doing the Lord’s work. First, he has come clean and said what he should have ‘fessed up to a while back: he doesn’t believe in the Carbon Fairy. Asked his views on the role of carbon dioxide, the heat-trapping gas produced by burning fossil fuels, in increasing global warming, Mr. Pruitt said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” that “I think that measuring with precision human activity on the climate is something very challenging to do and there’s tremendous disagreement about the degree of impact, so, no, I would not agree that it’s a primary contributor to the global warming that we see.” That phrase, “the heat-trapping gas produced by burning fossil fuels,” is just a bit of New York Times editorializing, by the way. No serious person thinks that man-made carbon dioxide poses any kind of major climate threat because there’s just no evidence to support that theory. It’s just one of those cherished left-liberal myths that goes next to other fantasy concepts like “equality,” “sustainability,” and “social justice.” Speaking of which, the second piece of good news is that the Environmental Protection Agency has just lost its head of Environmental Justice.
