Personnel is policy, as they say, and despite his meeting with the High Priest of Climatology, Al Gore, president-elect Donald Trump’s pick of Oklahoma attorney general Scott Pruitt to be the new head at EPA, shows Trump is serious about pulling back the curtain to expose climate fraud, leaving climate zealots as unsettled as the alleged “science” they trumpet.
Pruitt has already fought the various unconstitutional power grabs that essentially established it as the fourth and unelected branch of government. As Tom Borelli notes in Conservative Review:
Pruitt’s concerns of EPA overreach also includes the agency’s controversial, “Waters of the U.S.” rule that significantly expanded the federal government’s regulatory reach to include ditches on private land. During the presidential campaign, Trump promised to address the regulation that he called one of the “most intrusive rules” and Pruitt could execute the new president’s goal to neuter its impact.
Every puddle in America, every creek running through a farm or ranch would become subject to regulation by the unelected bureaucrats at the EPA. Pruitt has set dead aim on this and other EPA abuses.
In an article in National Review, coauthored with fellow attorney general of Alabama, Luther Strange, Pruitt opined that climate science isn’t settled and should be subject to a vigorous debate. He argued that EPA dictates are no different than the tyranny America rebelled against in its founding, and that EPA has no justification to bypass the will of the people as expressed through its elected representatives:

The right man for the post. .....Common sense returned !
Indeed
Save us a couple trillion....Climate folks?? Tell them to get a real job....like counting the leaves that fall off a tree in the fall and categorizing them according to type of tree from whence it fell and color.
Remember the Clinton Administration attempt at creating “River Master” zones that put one zealot in charge of any body of water?
He can’t do it fast enough.
A good omen. We need to put an end to the tyranny of reckless and irresponsible bureaucracy.
Oh yes! Definitely. Strung up.
Awesome. This election has been the most profitable since Ronald Reagan and the President has not even yet been inaugurated.
But this is not enough. Trump needs to issue research grant money to hundreds of scientists who will follow the genuine science on climate, and peer review all the IPCC work and models. Show all the deficiencies in their work and models. Show all the manipulation compared with real science.
It is not enough for Trump’s EPA head to dismantle the damaging action EPA has taken such as regulating C02, not that that isn’t exactly what is needed for action. But then he must also allow scientists to demonstrate that this was a hoax so the general public realize they were duped before. Otherwise it looks like he is defying the “settled science”. He needs to show that the science was not only far from settled, but that is was wrong and manipulated.
I am sure he will do this though. It is all his research grant money now.
Maybe we can use the liberals new "fake news laws" to put this sucker where he belongs.....
Climate “science” is very soon to be brought to its knees kicking and screaming. Lord Moncton has recently published a paper that is currently under peer review which proves that the mathematical models being used to “prove” man made global warming are flawed.
The problem isn’t out of control federal agencies.
Where have our legislators been ?
While we were electing Trump to save us from this nonsense, our government was participating in the November 7-18 , 2016 UN held the Marrakech Climate Change Conference. This conference, with more than 22,000 participants ‐ was certified under the ISO 20121 standard for event sustainability management systems. ISO 20121 is an international standard, created by the International Organization for Standardization, that helps to ensure that an event recognizes its impact on society and actively contributes to the three dimensions of sustainability: economic, environmental and social."
This award by an outside auditor is "evidence that the Government of Morocco has successfully addressed the management of improved sustainability throughout all event‐ related activities during the entire management cycle of COP 22. For those who are interested, here is the ISO 20121 relating to "sustainable events" you know, the kind where 22,000 fly internationally and stay in 5 star hotels and dine in the best local restaurants all at international taxpayer expense.
Among other things, the COP 22 Sustainability Approach (available online in English and French) includes the following aspects:
This produced the MARRAKECH ACTION PROCLAMATION FOR OUR CLIMATE AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT stating the following: Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to the extent possible and offsetting of unavoidable emissions;
MARRAKECH ACTION PROCLAMATION FOR OUR CLIMATE AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
We, Heads of State, Government, and Delegations, gathered in Marrakech, on African soil, for the High-Level Segment of the 22nd Session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the 12th Session of the Conference of the Parties serving as the Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol, and the 1 st Session of the Conference of the Parties serving as the Meeting of the Parties to the Paris Agreement, at the gracious invitation of His Majesty the King of Morocco, Mohammed VI, issue this proclamation to signal a shift towards a new era of implementation and action on climate and sustainable development.
Our climate is warming at an alarming and unprecedented rate and we have an urgent duty to respond.
We welcome the Paris Agreement, adopted under the Convention, its rapid entry into force, with its ambitious goals, its inclusive nature and its reflection of equity and common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities, in the light of different national circumstances, and we affirm our commitment to its full implementation.
Indeed, this year, we have seen extraordinary momentum on climate change worldwide, and in many multilateral fora. This momentum is irreversible – it is being driven not only by governments, but by science, business and global action of all types at all levels.
Our task now is to rapidly build on that momentum, together, moving forward purposefully to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to foster adaptation efforts, thereby benefiting and supporting the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals.
We call for the highest political commitment to combat climate change, as a matter of urgent priority. We call for strong solidarity with those countries most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, and underscore the need to support efforts aimed to enhance their adaptive capacity, strengthen resilience and reduce vulnerability.
We call for all Parties to strengthen and support efforts to eradicate poverty, ensure food security and to take stringent action to deal with climate change challenges in agriculture.
We call for urgently raising ambition and strengthening cooperation amongst ourselves to close the gap between current emissions trajectories and the pathway needed to meet the long-term temperature goals of the Paris Agreement.
We call for an increase in the volume, flow and access to finance for climate projects, alongside improved capacity and technology, including from developed to developing countries.
We the Developed Country Parties reaffirm our USD $100 billion mobilization goal.
We, unanimously, call for further climate action and support, well in advance of 2020, taking into account the specific needs and special circumstances of developing countries, the least developed countries and those particularly vulnerable to the adverse impacts of climate change.
We who are Parties to the Kyoto Protocol encourage the ratification of the Doha Amendment.
We, collectively, call on all non-state actors to join us for immediate and ambitious action and mobilization, building on their important achievements, noting the many initiatives and the Marrakech Partnership for Global Climate Action itself, launched in Marrakech.
The transition in our economies required to meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement provides a substantial positive opportunity for increased prosperity and sustainable development.
The Marrakech Conference marks an important inflection point in our commitment to bring together the whole international community to tackle one of the greatest challenges of our time.
As we now turn towards implementation and action, we reiterate our resolve to inspire solidarity, hope and opportunity for current and future generations.
When their task is completed, demand a recount.
The whole EPA needs to be dismantled.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
The EPA should ideally have what? A staff of about a dozen people?
That was good for a chuckle....
Yeah, same here. What a charlatan.
