The Environmental Protection Agency may be a controversial spot right now as they’ve bungled into polluting a river and are waging a war on coal. But in The Washington Post Magazine on Sunday, EPA boss Gina McCarthy was awarded a syrupy Q&A from reporter Joe Heim titled “Creating the environment for change.”
First softball: “Okay, please finish this sentence: Anyone who doesn’t believe climate change is caused by human activity is …”
McCarthy replied: "Not looking at the science."
This odd question might be a belated reference to McCarthy's underreported slam from a few weeks ago that climate change skeptics are not "normal people." (See our Tom Blumer.) This question would have been more fun: “Should the EPA administrator be a scientist? Because you’re not.” The Post has recently dismissed this line of questioning as "groan-worthy."

How about asking her to fill in the blank regarding the name of her significant other, just to see if she gives the reporter a woman’s name.
Uh, are you saying you aren’t gonna bake her a cake? :>}
Anyone who doesn’t believe climate change is caused by human activity is...
...tired of paying huge taxes so that otherwise unemployable hack scientists can continue to suck away at the public teat based on a discredited popular fiction.
It sounds like the commie libs prefer the gullible Gaia worshippers over the nongullible climate denier weirdos.
Wow...is it me, or do I hear Saul Alinsky everywhere today?
“Weirdos” would be those who invent a theory out of whole cloth in spite of clear SCIENTIFIC evidence to the contrary.
Oh don’t worry about the arsenic in the water, it’s headed to Mexico and they are happy for the extra water to water the crops that will soon be on our family tables.
Of Course. A "Scientist" asks for a 10 mill grant for "Climate Research"....
This EPA yahoo would say...... "Climate Change is bad. Have some money."
A FReeper would say...... "Let's see your theory. How is it different from others that have been postulated? Has it undergone peer review? Yes, of course I'd like to see the supporting data. In detail please. What does your computer modeling look like? Have you done regressive testing against it? Have you considered data points from the Antarctic? The ENTIRE continent, or just a few cherrypicked that support your data? What about Greenland? Sunspots? Maunder......." And so on, you get the point.
OF course they want idiots in charge. Smart people ask too many questions.
Without ranting too much.....the simple act of asking questions gets one labeled as a "Climate Denier" and "Dangerous, maybe crazy" these days. When, in fact, a real scientist should always be asking questions. IMO, it probably would be good to know what the climate is going to do, but the entire process is so politicized now that we'll likely never know. It's shameful.
