Pssst....The guy he picked to run the EPA is one of the biggest skeptics of global warming in the nation, Scott Pruitt.
Pruitt, not Tillerson, will be in charge of dealing with EPA regulations. The SOS will have nothing to do with environmental policy.

Not NOTHING. I agree that Pruitt is more important than Tillerson, but much of what goes on involving global warming is international in nature, and it would be helpful to have a SecState who doesn’t unofficially hope that GW talks succeed.
OTOH, who knows if Tillerson really believes in GW. Exxon funds GW hysteria, man-is-evil nature documentaries, etc., because they are chiefly an oil refinery company and they profit more when we get our oil overseas. If Tillerson divests from Exxon, he no longer has an economic reason to push the GW myth.
