Not surprisingly, Scott Pruitt doesn’t consider the EPA climate report that says, yup, humans are definitely causing significant climate change, to actually say that humans are definitely causing significant climate change.
In an interview with USA Today, Pruitt said the climate report will not stop his agency from moving forward with dismantling the Obama-era Clean Power Plan, which was designed to cut global warming pollutants from coal-burning power plants. […] “We’re taking the very necessary step to evaluate our authority under the Clean Air Act and we’ll take steps that are required to issue a subsequent rule. That’s our focus,” Pruitt said. “Does this report have any bearing on that? No it doesn’t. It doesn’t impact the withdrawal and it doesn’t impact the replacement,” he said. […] “Obviously the climate is changing and has always changed, (and) humans contribute to that. Measuring with exact precision is very challenging,” Pruitt said. “So I think the report (is) good to encourage an open dialogue on this.”
This has nothing to do with open dialog. Not when dialog is about evading, denying, and discrediting. Or pretending to science when making decisions about what is scientific fact is just about what’s convenient, profitable, or ideologically proper.
We live in mad times.
Shocking no one, the EPA’s Scott Pruitt denies findings of new climate science report
Oh, you mean THAT climate report? Yeah, still no.
This man is a criminal. He's intentionally putting into action measures which harm people and is destructive to the country.
