According to Reuters Donald Trump is appointing a global warming skeptic to head the Environmental Protection Agency.
The far left EDF is not pleased with this development.
Pruitt, who met with President-elect Donald Trump in New York on Nov. 28, has used his current position to try to block some of the EPA’s most important air-quality rules.
On his own LinkedIn page, he boasts that he “led the charge with repeated notices and subsequent lawsuits against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for their [sic] leadership’s activist agenda.”
Tries to block every EPA rule he sees
Since becoming Oklahoma’s top legal officer in 2011, Pruitt has sued the EPA to stop vital protections for public health – including standards for reducing soot and smog pollution that crosses interstate lines; protections against emissions of mercury, arsenic, acid gases and other toxic pollutants from power plants; and standards to improve air quality in national parks and wilderness areas. Each time he failed.
These common-sense efforts to cut pollution will save lives, prevent dangerous brain-development issues in children, reduce asthma attacks and increase productivity. Yet, Attorney General Pruitt has apparently never seen an EPA rule that didn’t prompt him to run to court to have it blocked.
Not surprisingly, Pruitt has also questioned “the degree and extent of global warming and its connection to the actions of mankind.”

I like this constant winning thing. It kinda grows on you.

Likewise Oklahoma AG Pruitt should aim for abolition of EPA and each and every global "climate change" or "global warming" fantasy and program of the federales for abolition of capitalism and each and slashing every nickel of funding for this nonsense to anyone or anything whatsoever.
Good pick.
The Constitution gives the feds no such authority. Environmental issues are states' issues and if there is a controversy between states then the Supreme Court is authorized to rule on the issue.
Excellent idea, in re: Larry Pratt, if he would be interested. The man is as true a patriot as I have ever met.
global warming skeptic = adult with critical thinking skills
Twitter is going absolutely batshit over this.
We won! Deal with it liberals.
The EPA is a corrupt, ineffective and damaging government entity.

Everyone who owns residential, commercial, industrial, or farm property ought to be celebrating today because FINALLY the bullies and tyrants that control this agency may be about to get the smack-down they so richly deserve.
Nice one!
Revenge is a dish best eaten cold : )
This one is especially sweet.
Not all EPA rules should be rescinded. “Federal employees at the Environmental Protection Agency have been instructed to stop defecating in the hallway of a regional office in Denver, Colo.” Embrace the suck.
If trump really wanted to slap down the left- he should appoint Marc Morana AND James Inhoffe to the head of EPA
Now Trump will hopefully soon put his new appointee off the job by shutting down the EPA altogether.
Snowflakes on suicide watch....
