The new chief of the Environmental Protection Agency said Thursday he does not believe that carbon dioxide is a primary contributor to global warming, a statement at odds with mainstream scientific consensus and his own agency.
EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt said measuring the effect of human activity on the climate is “very challenging” and that “there’s tremendous disagreement about the degree of impact” of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
“So, no, I would not agree that (carbon dioxide) is a primary contributor to the global warming that we see,” Pruitt told CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”
Pruitt’s view is contrary to mainstream climate science, including NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the EPA itself. …

The Truth is such a breath of fresh air.
What about the annual forest fires throughout the world?
Don’t they exude CO2?
“Great start. Now he needs to undo the ruling that CO2 is a pollutant.”
Bingo! CO2 is a naturally occurring trace gas, not a pollutant. I can’t believe Ocarter got away with “deeming” CO2 as a “pollutant”. This allowed them to regulate all sorts of things they had no business doing.
Sounds to me like old Scotty is a bet hedger.

It’s not- CO2 released by man amounts to just 0.00136% of the atmosphere- that is nowhere near enough CO2 to be able to capture enough heat to cause any sort of warming whatsoever- period-
Perhaps if the atmosphere had 30% CO2- then you would have localized warming in certain spots- but 0.00136%? Nope- it’s ridiculous to even suggest that this small amount could be ‘the primary cause of global warming’ as the liars and charlatans of ‘man-caused global warming’ have claimed- they should be ashamed of themselves and resign their posts as ‘scientists’ for trotting out such nonsense!
For those who want the math of the 0.00136% figure here it is
The atmosphere is made up of just 0.04% CO2 AND greenhouse gases- man’s CO2 amounts to just 3.4% of that 0.04%
3.4% of 0.04% = 0.00136%
That is how much of the atmosphere man’s CO2 takes up
I’ve asked many times in many forums how just 0.00136% of our atmosphere can possibly capture enough CO2 to cause global warming- and noone has any math to explain how it can
And folks- of that 0.00136%- the majority of hte captured heat by the CO2 molecules gets radiated out ‘in the wrong direction’ IE: away from the earth, not towards the earth- only a fraction of the heat ever makes it’s way back to earth or remains in atmosphere the majority gets radiated out and quickly reaches equilibrium with it’s surroundings- IE: it has Zero effect because it is overwhelmed by the sheer amount of cooler molecules that surround it- just as dumping 4 five gallon pails of 100 degree water into an Olympic sized pool of 95% water would have essentially zero effect-
Primary cause of Global Warming = Increase in the Holy Spirit here on earth!
Oregon is very professional about the climate controversy.
First the governor (Kulongoski)fires the state climatologist because the scientist does not agree with the politician’s view on AGW.
Next, the state sends out a psycho liberal professor of psychology to post an article in the Oregonian, calling people nasty psycho babble names because they aren’t psycho enough to swallow the state’s propaganda on AGW.
Professional strength liberal.
In the fwiw dept, each year volcanoes pump more CO2 into the atmosphere than humans could in ten years.
5.56mm
It appears to me that Govt.funding has caused the majority of any man made global warming
The sun and water vapor in that order.
I think CO2 is less than 1% of the atmosphere but we’re supposed to believe it causes global warming sheesh what BS.
That would violate the sacred precept that only humans cause climate change. All things must adapt to conform to the liberal perspective.
We humans would be dead without CO2. No CO2 means no plants. No plants means no oxygen. No oxygen means no humans.
This really isn't difficult. It is just not the lib's religion.
Heresy!
Even most climatologists recognize that the primary greenhouse gas is water vapor. The recent narrative about CO2 is to exaggerate its role in the greenhoseceffect so they can regulate it. Forever before that most climatologists agreed that water vapor was far more influential regarding the greenhouse effect compated to atmospheric CO2.
Modern Warming Alarmist now all support the lie that water vapor caused 1/3 of the warming of past decades, while CO2 caused 2/3 of the temperature rise. This lie is patently false and was only recently created to supprt the “CO2 is a pollutant” false narrative.
Here is hoping Pruitt funds many climatologists to reiew the IPCC math and models and thereby expose them for the junk-science fraud and hoax they are.
You are dead right. Pruitt’s EPA needs to fund climatologists who will produce PEER reviewed studies concluding these truths. Since these are truths, the research science should follow very easily. Just pick the honest climatologists who are not whores to the “settled science warming alarmist” cult.

And they have also been caught lying and cheating in order to boost their ridiculous claims- caught red handed- making up numbers out of thin air- They just got caught creating new numbers out of thin air- The satellite data showed that there had been no warming for nearly 20 years- so what did NASA do? They claimed one of their data satellites ‘drifted off course’ - I kid you not- and they ‘recalculated’ what the ‘real temperatures’ should have been’- and by golly they now showed warming during those 20 years-
These are the kinds of liars and con artists we’re dealing with- and of course Mann and ilk were caught lying and intimidating scientists who didn’t agree too back awhile- and their terra bound temperature stations are intentionally placed in spots like paved parking lots, next to massive air conditioning units that emit heat- etc- there was a fella that went around snapping photos of the temp stations-
These folks claiming man is responsible are liars- Marc Morano has a whole site dedicated to scientific evidence exposing the lies- climatedepot.org I believe-
