Trump Picks Top Climate Skeptic to Lead EPA Transition
Scientific American ^ | Sept 2016 | Robin Bravender

Posted on 11/10/2016 7:35:03 PM PST by Valpal1

Myron Ebell, director of the Center for Energy and Environment at the conservative Competitive Enterprise Institute, is spearheading Trump’s transition plans for EPA, the sources said.

Ebell appears to relish criticism from the left. In a biography submitted when he testified before Congress, he listed among his recognitions that he had been featured in a Greenpeace “Field Guide to Climate Criminals,” dubbed a “misleader” on global warming by Rolling Stone and was the subject of a motion to censure in the British House of Commons after Ebell criticized the United Kingdom’s chief scientific adviser for his views on global warming.

we want clean air and clean water, and not to go back to the bad old days of Elizabeth NJ or Gary Indiana where you could cut the air with a knife.

But about 90% of EPA regulations could be eliminated.

Actually they did some good work early on, cleaning up the Great Lakes, oil spill control and countermeasure, etc but they had limited power back then and that’s the way they should have remained.

It just gets better every day. Trump’s entire administration may turn out to be a FReeper’s dream. Worth the 8 year wait.

I want someone who will expose the epa’s faulty/fake science! As the operator, retired, of a public water supply company for 30 years, dealing with them was awful! Some of the stoopid things they made me do were intolerable!

This is just the start folks..

If this is the kind of thing he can do before he even officially takes office, imagine what he can do after he is sworn in.

“Yeah, he’s only running for President so he and throw it to Jeb!”

Hell, this pretty much PROVES that Trump is only in this to throw it to Hillary:

http://www.politico.com/story/2015/06/donald-trump-donations-democrats-hillary-clinton-119071

If Trump would simply get Jeb nominated and help him win, I might have a bit more respect for him.

But FACE IT EVERYONE, if Trump is nominated, HILLARY WILL BE PRESIDENT. I’m no idiot, for I can read Trump’s mind, and he’s really a Democrat in drag.

On the rare occasions that I look at the modern Scientific American, I note that it devotes something on the order of at least 10-15% of every issue to climate change, global warming, sea-level rise, greenhouse gases, and the like. That’s in an issue that doesn’t include a full-length article on the subject.

They also employ editorial writers who insert climate change material in articles and topics where it really doesn’t belong, and often include snarky comments impugning the intelligence and motives of anyone who doesn’t buy into the received wisdom 100%.

One would be justified in concluding that the publisher of Scientific American sees its main function as to serve as a conveyor belt for the man-made climate change story. The coverage of general topics in scientific progress seems to be an incidental, secondary goal that is necessary to keep people from canceling their subscriptions.

Were those executive orders or decisions by the head of those agencies?

Precisely the kind of appointment that no one else, except possibly Cruz, would have made. I like this bold move.

The fact that Greenpeace even has a “Field Guide to Climate Criminals” should tell you all you need to know about this bit of Lysenko “science”.
