The White House plans to withdraw Kathleen Hartnett White's nomination to head the Council on Environmental Quality, a White House official confirmed to CNN Saturday.
Hartnett White, who would have overseen environmental and energy policies across the government, had described the belief in "global warming" as a "kind of paganism" for "secular elites" during a September 2016 interview on "The Right Perspective," an online conservative radio show.
She has also said the goal of climate activists and the United Nations was an all-powerful, one-world government and "planetary management," KFile reported.
President Donald Trump announced Hartnett White's nomination in October and re-submitted her nomination to the Senate in January. Senators challenged her statements about climate change, which go against the scientific consensus that man-made greenhouse gases are the primary driver of rising temperatures, during her confirmation hearing in November.
When Oregon Democrat Jeff Merkley pressed her on her past comments at the confirmation hearing, Hartnett White responded, "I believe those words, senator, with all due respect, have been taken out of context."
"Well, they're words directly from your writings," Merkley responded. Merkley noted that there are multiple quotes from White "calling environmentalists Marxist, and those who are concerned about climate change as pagans."
White has a long history of questioning established science on climate change and once dismissed the idea that carbon dioxide is a pollutant and calling it "the gas of life on this planet" -- comments that drew criticism from environmentalists who opposed her nomination.

Her comments appear sensible enough... Belief in Global Warming is a form of paganism. That describes it to a tee... The global warming alarmist do not believe in god, they believe in Al Gore.
She states scientific facts in her writings also, but those statements stood out for framing Green Movement in philosophical and religious terms.
Environmentalism totally has New Age/paganistic spiritual roots. And environmental ideology definitely has Marxist components and paradigms. Darwinist also. Is it any wonder population control is also so heavily touted by global warming hoaxers?
Science uses the scientific method, which requires controlled experiments and repeatable results.
You cannot conduct controlled experiments with repeatable results with climate.
Climate “science” is therefore not science.
Moral of the story:
Act like a democrat would and do not expose your true sentiments until you get entrenched in your new position.
I wonder if Ivanka’s lib outlook had anything to do with this.
I think the info about her was pulled during “opposition research”
wow I like her!
This woman is right on the money. It is “nature worship”, which is also known as wiccan religion. They simply worship the earth....something hard to deny.
What’s her FR handle?
She is right!! The people that think we can CHANGE the climate are ATHEISTS!
I hope they fired her because her “kind of like paganism” comment was a little too squishy. Maybe if she had said “Climate change IS a cult” they might have kept her around...I hope.
Good Grief! Has Trump gone loopy?
"Scientific consensus" is an oxymoron!
Kathleen Hartnett White is absolutely right. She seems like the perfect fit for the job.
Real eminent scientists from Einstein to Richard Feynman have always agreed on the basic tenet of Science : Science and "consensus" are fundamentally incompatible.
What is going on?
That the confirming senators are clueless about science is understandable, but I assumed that Trump has better science advisors.
I really hope this is fake news!
Sounds like she had it right.
I love your username LoL.
Sounds like another conservative victim of Ivanka.
Oh, well.
Thanks!
The “global warming crowd” relies on adulterated data to support its conclusions not “facts”. Their belief system has a clear parallel with paganism. It is not possible to “combat” their nonsense with “facts of her own” because their entire belief system is built on manipulated data. You can mark my words. Even after we are 30 years into catastrophic global cooling signified by crop failures and a massive increase in heating fuel demand in winter this group will still be claiming that manmade CO2 emissions are causing irreversible harm to the climate.
The Climate Cult is alive and well. Why Trump gave in to them, I have no idea. #OurCPresident
