Now at Harvard, the Obama administration alum admits its been hard to watch the Trump administration take aim at the work shes proudest of. But she hasnt lost hope.
GINA MCCARTHY STRIDES INTO the ocean-view ballroom at the Sea Crest Beach Hotel in Falmouth, plops down her green backpack, and glances out the window. The waves are angrily advancing on this last night in April, which feels as dreary as mid-January. The water seems way closer than it was the last time I was here, she says.
Maybe thats because of climate change, the threat that McCarthy led the charge to confront as head of the Environmental Protection Agency during the Obama administration. Or maybe its just high tide.
She is surrounded by a couple of hundred researchers and advocates from the Union of Concerned Scientists, a national nonprofit based in Cambridge. Its a gathering of serious specialists whose usual concern appears to have morphed into clinical depression. After all, theyve spent the last year watching McCarthys successor at the EPA, Scott Pruitt, aggressively work to reverse each of the Obama administrations environmental initiatives, as if crossing off every last item on a grocery list before reaching the checkout.
Following her introduction, as the crowd gives her a standing ovation, the 5-foot-2, white-haired McCarthy bounds to the podium in her New Balance sneakers. The Union of Concerned Scientists, she begins, drawing out the adjective for effect. Ive always wondered, compared to what? The Union of I-Dont-Give-a-S*** Scientists?
Channeling that old Saturday Night Live skit where William Shatner implored a convention of Trekkies to get a life, McCarthy tells the crowd she isnt interested in moping. She invokes a different SNL skit, saying she has no use for Debbie Downers.

Heck, in MA, a number of lighthouses have been moved in the past few decades because of erosion.
...and I can just about guarantee it isn’t “non-profit”, either.
Scott Pruitt is Trump's greatest pick. If he spent every last penny of the EPA's budget on hookers, cocaine, and a fleet of coal-rollin' F350 Super Duty Powerstrokes, I'd love him even more.
If stupid was a “greenhouse gas” I might be convinced that this particular group of humans is significantly contributing to “global warming”.
and going from that observation to ‘it might be global warming’ is exactly why she is no longer with that piece of crap organization called the EPA.
No one can be that stupid and still be allowed to walk around unattended.
LOL
Because #FakeScience has a limited shelf life.
You have to make the sale before people catch on to the scam.
IF they believed their own BS, Al Gore wouldn’t own a massive seaside mansion. Leo Dicaprio wouldn’t fly around in private jets and ride in limos. James Cameron wouldn’t own a huge estate, fly in private jets, have a bunch of 4 wheel drive and off road vehicles etc etc etc.
Obviously they’re just virtue signalling hypocrites.
Could it be because real science indicates that warming causes CO2 to boil out the ice and not CO2 being the cause of warming?
The carrot samples at Vostok do not lie. Lakes that ice over drive the absorbed condensing CO2 downward deep below.
Find the facts for the EPA opening up the old mine in Colorado.
Arrest the contractor, hold his feet to the fire until he talks.
Trump’s fault!!
Glacier was there before he put in that skating rink!
And the SUN and VOLCANOS have nothing to do with it. Even the Libtards don't believe their own BS.
And they wonder why they don’t sell papers anymore. Really? Are liberals all this stupid?
You're probably right...but did Trump really put in that rink? I would have thought that it was the City of New York that did.
IIRC it was just last year that NASA announced the discovery of at least one huge,active,volcano beneath the Antarctic ice shelf and that it was a major cause of the melting of the ice.
SEMPER FI
Reminds me of the article in The Onion where a bunch of scientists claim the sea level is going to rise 20 feet this summer because of all the people swimming in the ocean. LOL.
The same EPA that under Obama use private emails to target political opponents and attack businesses illegally
