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.

Oh hell yes. Oh, yes.
Freon was done away with because Dupont’s patent expired.
It just gets better every day. Trump’s entire administration may turn out to be a FReeper’s dream. Worth the 8 year wait.
...
I’ve been waiting 30 years, since Reagan signed amnesty.
I can cure global warming and make money at the same time. Pull every global warming grant. Every scientist will find God.
Same thing with Smithsonian and National Geographic.
I used to enjoy Sunset Magazine, unfortunately they’re getting infected by this crap too.
yep.
Climate Change is a hoax, designed to generate money... it's a scam, and should be shamed out of existence.
Winning already!!!! I can’t believe I ever doubted Trump. How could any conservative have justified not voting for him?
I feel like how it must have been when Reagan won!
Good but not enough.
Trump needs to cut off the money to EPA, enough to get the ones who can retire to do so. Have to replace majority of top management begin to dismantle their internal kingdoms drive them against each other fighting for what appropriations are available.
In order to complete conquest you must get in their walls.
Obama has planted opposition in all the Exec. Depts.
Getting rid of Federal Unions would be be a great help.
Take away the Gov. Telework, it is based on a lie — climate change, imitated to “remove carbon”. They work 3 day weeks, with 4 telework days per pay period max. Work can mean sitting home reading emails and their is no oversight assuring they even stay in their home “offices”.
More proof Gov. is filled with useless eaters and can operate with less employees.
Fantastic.
shame on me I had to google him but this-
He is also currently of counsel with the Immigration Law Reform Institute, the legal arm of the Federation for American Immigration Reform.
is awesome.
About this election, and now the transition etc, if you’ve watched Seinfeld I keep hearing Kramer gleefully in my head “and I’m loving every minute of it”
Actually, global warming is true. So is global cooling.
The Warming is the man made part. But it doesn’t occur globally. It occurs locally. We have billions of heat islands, from single homes to entire cities. We have giant heat sinks (parking lots) and rivers of heat (highways) all across our nation and many others. Every gas engine (every mower, every car, every... ) takes in cold air and outputs hot air. These make parts of the Earth’s surface warmer. But only those parts.
Now, the sunspots have decreased, so the extra ‘energy’(heat) we would sporadically get from the Sun have decreased. Overall this can make it colder. And it is globally.
So we have increased but dispersed heat and an overall lowering of temperature (albeit over a long period of time). The ‘difference’ that makes in local weather is really a crap shoot made up of dozens of factors, and entirely unpredictable.
This has helped to change the weather patterns around the planet. But the climate has always changed. It is the nature of our planet. We might be speeding it up or slowing it down, but only a miniscule amount. One volcano has more of an effect than we do.
And I know I’m preaching to the choir here, but they are right about the existence of man made global warming, it’s just that they are wrong about it’s effect and wrong about money being able to fix it.
hes hiring fighters. great this is what’s needed to chop the crap out of the epa.
The Headline of My Dreams
I had a subscription to SciAm all through high school and college, which would have been 1978. When I was in seventh grade, our next-door neighbor gave me about five years worth of back issues; I can still picture the three neat stacks in the hallway outside my bedroom, each stack about a foot and a half tall.
I truly loved that magazine in those days. I read ever page over and over, and learned so much from them.
I distinctly remember a strange event in Scientific American. It happened in 1974 or 1975. The magazine printed a two-page article that looked like an advertisement, right on the centerfold. The subject of the “article” was not a scientific topic at all; it was congressman Les Aspin, whom the magazine was promoting as some sort of “new generation” of science-oriented legislators, destined to help carry science to new heights in America. The article appeared over the seal of the magazine’s publisher, W. H. Freeman.
I thought it looked odd and out of place. It was rare for Scientific American to say anything about a personality, or at least a living personality (there might have been an article about Linus Pauling, I’m not sure). This Les Aspin thing struck me as odd and puzzling.
It was around that time that the magazine began to take a more explicitly political positions, both on its editorial page and in its selection of articles.
When RR announced the Strategic Defense Initiative, SciAm responded with a number of articles that made the case that Star Wars was hopeless, a waste of money that would destabilize the balance of power between the United States and the USSR. An MIT professor named Kostas Tsipis was the author of several of these articles, but there were others. There were articles against the deployment of Pershing-II missiles in Europe, and in support of the theory of “nuclear winter” as promoted by Carl Sagan and the TTAPS collective.
Now, it strikes me as being mainly a magazine about the role of science in politics, with an obvious and total orientation toward goals that liberals misuse the prestige of science to promote and further.
It is indeed unfortunate, but the whole concept of ordinary Americans as people with an inherent interest in science and technology is obsolete.
YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
The Sun Controls the climate of the Earth
The Sun is a Star, the Earth a mere speck by comparison
