Rex Tillerson: Pro-Energy Foe of Climate Hype
American Thinker ^ | December 15, 2016 | Daniel John Sobieski

The measure of Trump’s picks for his cabinet, including Exxon-Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson for Secretary of State, is the reaction of the left. Oh, sure, a main objection is to his business dealings with Russia, as if energy producing companies should have nothing to do with energy producing countries. But many on the left oppose him as a fossil fuel advocate who thinks climate change is an overhyped scam designed to deny us growth and job opportunities through the use of our abundant fossil fuel reserves.

As Andrew Freedman comments on Yahoo News:

If it weren't real, it might read like a dark climate change comedy. …

Environmental groups were quick to criticize Tillerson. After all, the State Department is tasked with leading America's diplomacy on climate change.

“This is unfathomable. We can’t let Trump put the world’s largest oil company in charge of our international climate policy," said Mary Boeve, the executive director of 350.org.

By the way, the act idiot Trudeau signed effectively bans Canada as the world’s largest oil reserve from ever producing oil. The State of Alberta is claiming it can still do it independently...

I say maybe the State of Ablerta should secede and twin up with Texas

Tillerson opposes the global warming hoax.

An artic Blast is descending upon the continent . Global warming IS a hoax.

But Betsy Devos is my favorite of Trump’s picks.

Betsy DeVos wants to end federalized Common Core, privatize the horrible government schools. This is a woman whose time has come!

Rex's alleged affinity for fudge packers pales in comparison to his importance in completely decimating the Climate Change Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Illuminati Inc. He must be confirmed.

Doesn't Trump have any "Senator Geary" videos of Linda Graham or Marco in a Trump hotel room doin the nasty with "escorts" Jose or Gary?
