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.”

Donald Trump Picks Scott Pruitt, Ally of Fossil Fuel Industry, to Lead E.P.A.
He's from BIG OIL!
LOL!
It’s happening, folks. It’s really happening!
Does anyone really think that any of Trump’s Republican competitors in primaries would have done this? In Your FAce BOLD !!!
This may be the biggest win of the week.
The EPA is a corrupt, ineffective and damaging government entity.
Turn it into something useful, or shut it down and let the states handle it.
O oooooo what is that sound I’m hearing? LHE (Liberal Head Exploding)...what a beautiful sound =)
I like your states idea.
“So much winning.” Interesting he appointed Pruitt on Pearl Harbor Day. A torpedo into the S.S. Al Gore.
WINNING!
Love it.
So much for those worried about Trump and Ivanka meeting with Fat All Gore yesterday. This is, for Gore, worse than being told “F You!” to his face.
