The new chief of the Environmental Protection Agency said Thursday he does not believe that carbon dioxide is a primary contributor to global warming, a statement at odds with mainstream scientific consensus and his own agency.
EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt said measuring the effect of human activity on the climate is "very challenging" and that "there's tremendous disagreement about the degree of impact" of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
"So, no, I would not agree that (carbon dioxide) is a primary contributor to the global warming that we see," Pruitt told CNBC's "Squawk Box."
Pruitt's view is contrary to mainstream climate science, including NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the EPA itself.

The warming comes from the Sun, during the day. At night, some of the heat is radiated into space. Clouds, water vapor, CO2 and other gases act as a blanket and keep some of the heat near the surface.
CO2 is not the major source of the heating. Look up on a sunny day.
Furthermore, the leftist bastards never reveal that they are aware of cycles: Sun’s output, Earth’s wobble, and others that influence the gradual change of climate.
Remember the glaciers covering the northern part of the country? 15,000 years ago? I wasn’t there, but the geological evidence is indisputable.
It’s not. The cause of the warming is the solar spot cycle. Any moron not mindlessly spewing the Church of Global Warming dogmas can see the scientific evidence in the climate history. We warm up, we cool down dependent on the intensity of the sun spot cycle. The more sun spot activity, the greater the energy radiating from the sun, the warmer earth gets. Less sun spot activity results in cooling.
Global Warming is the modern equivalent of the “earth is the center of the universe science” of the middle ages.
Because Al Gore can’t make money from banning water vapor (clouds) which is the main culprit of global warming. CO2 - Carbon monoxide is a byproduct of burning oil, and wow, how convenient - oil is a trillion dollar business so guess what the con man focuses on? It is ALL a scam that exists solely to make criminals like him money. The percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere is so small 0.04% that if you drank a quart of water that had 0.04% cyanide in it, you would live. Oh yes, and the left NEVER EVER mentions the percentage like that. They constantly try to deceive the public by stating it as “400 parts per million”..The public really doesn’t pay attention to the million part and instead focuses on that number “400”. “Oh my lord we are as high as 400! We have to do something before we all burn up!” Like this scam artist, he REFUSED to state the percentage........
Even if we left every car, factory, on earth running 24/7 for the next 1000 years we couldn’t even get that percentage up to 0.05% which BTW can literally be called “zero point zero”... The fact is the atmosphere is just too vast, 5,000 quadrillion metric tons of gas which might as well be infinity as far as man is concerned. We can no more change its composition to any noticeable or adverse effect than we can pee in the ocean and turn it yellow. Imagine an ocean covering the entire earth and this ocean is 300 miles deep. That is the earths atmosphere, not a “thin sliver covering the earth” as Al Gore would state it. By comparison, the deepest part of the water ocean on earth is only 6.8 miles!!! That is how vast our atmosphere is.
LOL... that looks like a clue.
Of course the reporting is repeating lies. Most climate scientists agree that, via CO2 emissions, that man has contributed to “some” warming. Now ask those same people about “how much?” and you’ll get wildly varying answers. Of the “97% consensus” lie, it’s actually only about 33% that believe man is the primary reason.
What would the temperature be if man didn’t exist? They can’t answer that with any certainty.
“how I pray he gets rid of these stupid rules dealing with propane tanks.”
What rules?
Acilatologists ......

I was just getting ready to look it up - thought it would be a new word for my vocabulary!! LOL ...
I love how the warmists always resort to “argument from authority” citing 97% of global warming scientists blah blah blah.
Now, there is a new argument from authority in the other direction AND it is a government official, no less! Just say, “the head of the EPA says that CO2 is not causing global warming”. There, now we both have authorities to cite and it’s a stalemate.
NOW, we can maybe engage them to think critically using their own brains (assuming that they have them!).
Ask questions, like - what was the average daytime temperature in the past week? (e.g., 72F) And what was the average night time temperature in the past week? (e.g., 45F). So, if the temperature swung 27 degrees in a single day, how concerned should we be if it changes on average 1F in the next hundred years? If the temp change in the next century averages 0.01F per year, but the temp changes daily by 27F between day/night, that means that the daily variation is 2700x wilder than what they are concerned about. Are your concerns misplaced?
I really hate the warmists and their really fake science.
On the face of it this seems like good news but the premise needs to be challenged there is plenty of doubt that global warming is real. Especially since much of the so called data is fraudulent. So l don’t like him saying CO2 is not to blame for something that doesn’t exist because you are accepting the premise.
If Trump does nothing else except rid us of the biggest scam of all time and totally, scientifically debink global warming/climate change, his Presidency will be a raging success.
How many trillions has this scheme cost Americans and globally with no end in sight?
There’s too much money and control at stake.
Guess where all the chalk and limestone came from. The extreme CO2 that used to permeate the atmosphere for millions of years that the extreme plant life thrived on.
Heretical blasphemy - burn him at the stake.....
Good point, but I’d also add that billions of people live in the Earth’s tropics, but almost nobody lives in Antarctica or along the shores of the Artic Ocean. So is the Earth’s climate currently too cold or too hot?
The new chief of the Environmental Protection Agency said Thursday he does not believe that carbon dioxide is a primary contributor to global warming, a scientifically sound statement at odds with the current unscientific consensus, and leftists and activists that have been dominating his own agency.
The new chief of the EPA will greatly help to get our country to return to using the scientific method.
Dang it! Thought I learned a new word that I could show off with!

Global Warming on Free Republic here, here, and here
Yup! BUT this time maybe we can bring some sanity back to the country in exposing the giant fraud Global Warming or Climate Change has been. The perpetrators need to be fined and discredited in the eyes of the world.
