Trump Picks Top Climate Skeptic To Lead EPA Transition (cbsnews.com)
Billly Gates writes: Trump's transition team is steamrolling ahead to transition the government. Trump chose Myron Ebell to oversee environmental policies. Myron Ebell is chairman of the Cooler Heads Coalition, a group of climate change denialists and alarmists. Scientific American provides some background information about Ebell in a report from earlier this year: "In a biography submitted when he testified before Congress, he listed among his recognitions that he had been featured in a Greenpeace 'Field Guide to Climate Criminals,' dubbed a 'misleader' on global warming by Rolling Stone and was the subject of a motion to censure in the British House of Commons after Ebell criticized the United Kingdom's chief scientific adviser for his views on global warming. More recently, Ebell has called the Obama administration's Clean Power Plan for greenhouse gases illegal and said that Obama joining the Paris climate treaty 'is clearly an unconstitutional usurpation of the Senate's authority.' He told Vanity Fair in 2007, 'There has been a little bit of warming ... but it's been very modest and well within the range for natural variability, and whether it's caused by human beings or not, it's nothing to worry about.' Ebell's views appear to square with Trump's when it comes to EPA's agenda. Trump has called global warming 'bullshit' and he has said he would 'cancel' the Paris global warming accord and roll back President Obama's executive actions on climate change."
If he's right, then people will be able to work again. If he's wrong, THE PLANET WAS FUCKED ANYWAY. Nothing in any existing or proposed "climate legislation" has a) changed "global warming" at all or b) has any hope of changing "global warming". If we're going to be fucked, we might as well have jobs in the meantime. But chances are we're not fucked because climate change is part of living on this hunk of space rock. Only 100,000 years ago, N. America was covered by glaciers. In a few million years, it will be again. And there's nothing we can do about it.

Water vapor, including cloud cover, while not perfectly modeled, is considered to be relatively consistent over time. If you have some evidence to counter this, please provide it.
But you don't, because you're a fucking retard who just mouths Heartland Institute talking points. You're an infantile child who is too cowardly to admit the truth. You're pathetic and vile and stupid.

I am 100% for getting out of every climate change deal and scrapping all of these climate change rules. Climate change is basically a bunch of scaremongering which is an excuse to reduce the USA to a third world condition and a Marxist scheme to basically redistribute the Americans hard earned accomplishments to already third world countries. Its an out and out globalist scam and a fraud. Its a computer generated fraud created by people who have an ulterior motive which is to economically bring the USA to its knees. the Climate change treaties tend to slam the USA hard with draconian restrictions on fossil fuels that will destroy jobs here and throw many people into poverty while allowing China to do nearly anything it wants. This would have devastating consequences, not only direct losses in the US energy sector but the fact that there would be manufacturing jobs lost because the energy to run factories would be much more expensive here.
Here the liberals show what a fraud they are. They are a bunch of globalist maniacs that use enviro-whackoism to throw the US into a third world state and to make china a global superpower because they are totalitarian psychos that admire China where you can be tortured and murdered for criticising the government and to bring the USA to its knees because they have a pathological hatred of the USA and its people.
I thought you liberals were the ones who were worried about the poor affording heating oil? Well, this is just a scam for you to dupe people into voting for you because your climate change garbage is going to make energy much more expensive and unaffordable, and getting rid of your regulations will make energy cheap, affordable and abundant, leading to our prosperity, to great reductions in poverty due to the jobs that cheap energy will create here, in conjunction with Trumps plans to get us out of bad trade deals
If you global warming people are so worried, why dont you and Al Gore give up your cars, smart phones, planes and everything else. Instead al gore and other global warming kooks fly around in airplanes powered by fossil fuels, because their mentality is that the greenhouse gas rules do not apply to them and are only intended to throw average common americans into poverty, thats because global warming a fraud designed to turn the US into a third world country run by a small liberal elite who ignore the greenhouse gasses because they dont believe in the claptrap themselves, its just an excuse to attack the American middle class and keep people in poverty and thus easier to control.
Fuck off you global warming environ-whacko commies.
