Will the new scientists that Scott Pruitt appoints be paid to do nothing?

I hope not. The EPA's role should be to provide/enforce reasonable regulations that protect the environment. It has morphed into something far worse than that and I think Pruitt wants to get a leash on that beast. At least, that is what I hope he is doing.

I don't like too much power in unelected bureaucrats. EPA would declare a puddle a wetlands and basically confiscate any property from anyone it felt like. They would arbitrarily flex their muscle to harm capitalism to push a leftist agenda that never seems to win at the ballot box but seems to get its agenda furthered through courts and bureaucracy. Most of the US public has had it winning elections only to have the government power grow and grow and grow and grow with no end in sight. I wish Pruitt luck but the swamp is deep.

It is going to be 90 Deg F here in Southern California even considering the decreasing solar radiation due to it being November 22.. How do you account for that? You suggest a "cooling sun" only leaves CO2 as the cause of warming. There are lots of causes out there and the effects from the sun are more complicated than just cooling and warming.

Your statements regarding the Sun and the medieval warm period are so inaccurate and it shows your Alarmist propaganda indoctrination.

The Pseudoscience that you "shovel around" is at grade school level along with Bill Nye.

The Clean Power Plan was calculated to prevent:

3,600 annual premature deaths from air-pollution exposure.

1,700 annual heart attacks.

90,000 annual asthma attacks.

300,000 missed work and school days each year.

For Trump and his cronies profit is more important.

There are so many lies out there by the minions of yoyos who promote climate change that it takes a large full-time staff to get out the truth.

The EPA has a zillion jobs to do, and confirming climate change is not one of them.

I hope Scott Pruitt can get the EPA back to working on what it is suppose to do.

There is a lot of Goverrment workers that do nothing and get paid for

stop driving now!

Wasn't EPA one of the three agencies Rick Perry COULD remember advocating eliminating, along with Education Dept, and Energy Dept (which could not remember, but where he now "works")?

Maybe just furlough the whole agency (EPA) until the federal government is liberated from the clutches of Putin and Trump?

Meanwhile, if Pruitt is as lousy a lawyer as he is a public servant, maybe one of the investigations will uncover reasons for him to "spend more time with his family."
