Trump’s Climate Contrarian: Myron Ebell Takes On the E.P.A.
NY Times ^ | Nov. 11, 2016 | HENRY FOUNTAIN

Posted on 11/11/2016 2:51:30 PM PST by Innovative

The mug-shot posters, pasted on walls and lampposts around Paris by an activist group during the United Nations climate talks last year, were hardly flattering. They depicted Myron Ebell, a climate contrarian, as one of seven “climate criminals” wanted for “destroying our future.”

But in his customary mild-mannered way, Mr. Ebell, who directs environmental and energy policy at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, a libertarian advocacy group in Washington, brushed it off.

In looking for someone to follow through on his campaign vow to dismantle one of the Obama administration’s signature climate change policies, President-elect Donald J. Trump probably could not have found a better candidate for the job than Mr. Ebell.

Mr. Ebell, who revels in taking on the scientific consensus on global warming, will be Mr. Trump’s lead agent in choosing personnel and setting the direction of the federal agencies that address climate change and environmental policy more broadly.

This is just one major scam to enrich the globalists. It needs to meet its demise

Just eliminate the EPA because it is the most anti-American institution on the planet...in fact, Congress & President Trump should pass a law permitting the President to eliminate any government activity that is anti-American...hhmmmm
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The EPA is an absolute disgrace. It is the most file agency ever unleashed on American property owners, and it is especially vindictive when assaulting our country’s farmers. Getting rid of the EPA should be at the top of Trump’s list, second only to withdrawing from the anti-American UN and kicking it out of our country.

Hopefully, he will help those in the Federal gov’t who have been ostracized or even fired for their similar views.

The left has gone so far over the line to destroy people who do not believe as they do. They think it’s normal to bully people and it’s evident by what we are seeing on the streets this week.

So far, I see no justification for the continued freak out from certain elements on the “right” that Trump is going to be a horrible president that undermines conservatism. This is yet another great choice.

I’d like to. But patriots need to make sure that the fast Trump Train is at least on the right track.

You forgot about the clowns who spend taxpayers’ money regulating everyone’s toilets. And worse, those creeps who have vowed to regulate the use of every drop of water on every farm in the nation including ponds, streams, springs, and water collected in rain barrels.

The EPA was created by executive order, so it can be abolished by executive order.

Can everyone just imagine how much crap the EPA has given Trump over the decades? Now he’s in charge of them. Karma indeed...

I feel the same way about Refrigerant gases. It’s a Criminal scam to ‘outlaw’ the old refrigerants just as their patents are about to end.

I wonder if global warming and now climate change is being used as a blanket excuse for the radical environmentalist to ban everything.

And why do you still wonder?

I’m sorry, but this sounds like a ringing endorsement. And I question why the Times would publish it, given they’re whackos and all.

“(Hope he has body guards already)”

I was going to suggest the same thing. AGW is their religion and pagans have been known to eliminate their detractors

I read elsewhere that Mr. Ebrell, in the “Accomplishments and Awards” section of a bio that he submitted listed being declared as a “Climate Enemy”.

Yep, this is a PERFECT GUY for our side.

Mr. Ebell, who revels in taking on the scientific consensus on global warming....

Sorry #FakeNews NYT, there in no "scientific consensus" on AGW.

People who read the NYT are the most uniformed dolts around.
