Former President Barack Obama's environmental chief, Gina McCarthy, said Friday that she will be keeping a close eye on newly confirmed EPA chief Scott Pruitt as he takes the helm of the agency she once commanded.

"Every action" Pruitt makes, McCarthy said, will be eyed "very closely" by her "to ensure the Trump administration upholds science and the law."
.
.
.
The former EPA chief said she wants to make sure Pruitt "respects" the EPA's "dedicated public servants and builds on the agency's long track record of protecting public health and the environment."

The EPA does not deserve respect, and neither does the former director.

A Bill Clinton dyke. Hey Gino, violating the rights of property owners isn’t upholding the law bitch. Like 99% of conservatives, I take care of the environment. I’m just not psychotic and political about it.

Indeed.

These “environmentalists” could convince me that they are truly concerned about the environment if they would engage in basic problem-solving methodology when it comes to environmental issues: gather pertinent information, examine and define the problem, brainstorm possible solutions, and choose the solution most likely to address the defined problem.

Instead, we get sky-is-falling pronouncements all the time without any facts to back them up.

I think that piping oil is probably more environmentally friendly than shipping it (ships leak and sink while trains and trucks crash and spill, causing environmental disasters every year). But environmentalists never discuss the pros and cons of each method; they just howl.

How the heck does one uphold science?

And whatever that is..... many administrations have made up their own science

Reminds me of when newly promoted, an employee didn’t like that I wanted to discuss correct way of doing her job - she threw a fit and stormed out to call the old boss who had moved 1500 miles away. Guess how far that got her - got her hauled into big bosses office and is now doing it my way - the correct way!
So old EPA director can monitor all she wants from afar - it’ll get her nowhere!!

LOL LOL LOL

She says she “respects” the dedicated public servants at EPA. Doesn’t say anything about the “dedicated” coal miners, pipeline workers, or manufacturing towns she and her dedicated bureaucrats put out of business or their families, does she?

"to ensure the Trump administration upholds science and the law."

What I am dreaming of is killing all the wolves. Again. I think this will be very scientific.

I respect the EPA’s dedicated public servants. I respect them so much that I want at least 80% of them to find useful jobs in the private sector.

What I believe to be her version of ecoterrorism is really agenda 21 clothed in fake climate change.

Will the west coast be freed of the destruction of single family homes because they are not socially just?

That worked so well the last time it was tried:

Keep a close, far, bloodshot or blind eye.

It makes no difference.

You are gone, mr. mccarthy. Free to make money as a bill clinton impressionist on Hollywood Blvd. or Times Square.
