Trump Picks Top Climate Skeptic to Lead EPA Transition
Scientific American ^ | Sept 2016 | Robin Bravender

Posted on 11/10/2016 7:35:03 PM PST by Valpal1

Myron Ebell, director of the Center for Energy and Environment at the conservative Competitive Enterprise Institute, is spearheading Trump’s transition plans for EPA, the sources said.

Ebell appears to relish criticism from the left. In a biography submitted when he testified before Congress, he listed among his recognitions that he had been featured in a Greenpeace “Field Guide to Climate Criminals,” dubbed a “misleader” on global warming by Rolling Stone and was the subject of a motion to censure in the British House of Commons after Ebell criticized the United Kingdom’s chief scientific adviser for his views on global warming.

The EPA was a bad idea from Richard Nixon.

At the time, it was probably a good idea as the EPA headed up the clean-up of "superfund" sites. However, put the EPA in the hands of liberals, and watch out. It has served its useful life (now that there are basically no more superfund sites to clean up). Its now time to put the EPA out to pasture.

I gotta wonder if the Fed grants in the future will include mandatory Global Warming clauses, like most do now.

There are only FIVE criteria pollutants recognized by the US Government.

All others (PM2.5, Pb, CO2e) are born from the imagination of the EPA bureaucracy and are, according to the congress, “illegitimate but acceptable”.

...you know like false but accurate...

How can an article from last September be considered BREAKING News?

Me, too.

I’m willing to consider the possibility that humans can affect the climate. HOWEVER, I want to see real science, not “consensus science” that examines the phenomenon. I suspect this is more like if you drag your hand in the water when you are on a huge ship, it will affect the course of the ship. .... but not by enough to have a significant, noticeable effect.

Another factor that needs to be considered is what is the cost of “fighting” global warming (assuming it is even real) and how does that cost compare to all of the other things that affect our lives. (Hint: Carbon credits are a scam that does nothing for the climate and only serves to enrich those who promote the scam.)

I wondered that myself because I didn’t select it when I posted it. My assumption is a mod moved it because they liked it or there is programming code that moves temporarily popular posts into the box while they are trending.

Other than that, I got nothing.

How do you know he’ll want reelection. He likes to have fun, and wrestling with the fights within his own party, not to mention with the other party may turn out to not be so much fun.

Perhaps she could not imagine the disparity between the size of the warehouse and the size of the penny because she believes the world is only 6 or 8 thousand years old.

It’s a satisfying fantasy, but then there are the civil service laws. What a downer. Anyone here have a clear picture of exactly how those laws operate?
