Pruitt to Dismantle EPA Climate Agenda
American Thinker ^ | December 10, 2016 | Daniel John Sobieski

Posted on 12/10/2016 5:24:15 AM PST by Kaslin

Personnel is policy, as they say, and despite his meeting with the High Priest of Climatology, Al Gore, president-elect Donald Trump’s pick of Oklahoma attorney general Scott Pruitt to be the new head at EPA, shows Trump is serious about pulling back the curtain to expose climate fraud, leaving climate zealots as unsettled as the alleged “science” they trumpet.

Pruitt has already fought the various unconstitutional power grabs that essentially established it as the fourth and unelected branch of government. As Tom Borelli notes in Conservative Review:

Pruitt’s concerns of EPA overreach also includes the agency’s controversial, “Waters of the U.S.” rule that significantly expanded the federal government’s regulatory reach to include ditches on private land. During the presidential campaign, Trump promised to address the regulation that he called one of the “most intrusive rules” and Pruitt could execute the new president’s goal to neuter its impact.

Every puddle in America, every creek running through a farm or ranch would become subject to regulation by the unelected bureaucrats at the EPA. Pruitt has set dead aim on this and other EPA abuses.

In an article in National Review, coauthored with fellow attorney general of Alabama, Luther Strange, Pruitt opined that climate science isn’t settled and should be subject to a vigorous debate. He argued that EPA dictates are no different than the tyranny America rebelled against in its founding, and that EPA has no justification to bypass the will of the people as expressed through its elected representatives:

That’s why the first step would be to fire all the management at EPA. Clinton pulled similar move when he came in. Fired everybody he could at once, which avoids political based complaints on those actions over an extended period of time.

A bit off-topic but I wanted share something about the EPA:

During the last year of the Clinton administration in 2000 I worked at a building where the regional EPA office occupied 3 or 4 floors. The company I worked at was located above them. So when I took the elevator it would almost always stop at floors x,y and z because the EPA people would moving from floor to floor. No joke, these people were slow and seemed to have no sense of urgency.

During June it was “gay pride” month. On each of the EPA floors they had these gay pride posters. They were basically just photos of people walking down a street or working at a construction site and supposedly they were gay and proud.

One day I decided to print out a sticker and in large font I typed: “why is inserting your penis into another man’s anus something to be proud of?”

During a quiet period when no one was around I went down and slapped the sticker on one of these posters.

I went back about 10 minutes later and they already had removed the poster.

I suspect these leaders just can’t wait until they take over the agencies they have the biggest complaints against. They even probably have names of certain individuals in the agencies who have been obstinate towards them. It’s like putting a Tea Party member in charge of Lois Lerner.

Merry Christmas!

Make it a punishable crime for any person to teach the propaganda of global warming in schools without giving equal time to the opposing view. Maintain that for a generation and see where it gets us.

Hmmm. At this moment, we seem to be having a serious issue since it’s raining so much that out normally dry creek bed (usually only for looks) is overflowing it’s banks. Am I in violation of some epa “puddle” rule or regulation? Will the armed portion of the epa enforcement division be banging on the front door? If you don’t hear from me in a few days, call the SAR team out.

I have eight acres with a tiny stream running down one property line and joining a major creek, really a small river, at the bottom edge of the property. The small stream starts out as normally a dry bed with the water actually flowing underground. When it rains the water runs down the stream bed above ground and at one point joins another tiny stream which flows over small waterfalls. No telling how many things they could find to complain about here.
