Thanks for the report.
They had a "scientist" on KPPC this morning regurgitating the same and stating that because of GW the Sierra Snowpack got considerably more water than snow this year so we are still in a drought.
Doesn't get much faker than that.

^^^Great points made.
Yes the searches are so simple when you look into it.
I really think it is just plain stupidity nowadays.
I am just trying to do my part and talk to as many people as I can about it, especially the young ones. I've literally taught the basics of climate change and CO2 impacts to thousands of students at this point. Most feedback is positive although I can always tell the ones who have influence at home and are more close minded.
Before I had my son I wasn't as fearful for the future. Now my vested interest is in people and not money.
This is a fukd world we live in. Our priorities are so screwed....

Chump has turned the world upside down :-( He appointed an enemy of the environment to run the EPA. Pruitt's statements RE Climate Change prove that he is not qualified to run the EPA.
And, IMO, the EPA is in need of reform but NOT the ones that Pruitt has in mind. He will sacrifice air and water quality for fossil fuel and mining industry profits, as he did while AG of Oklahoma.
In the past few years, he has cast doubt on one of the central findings of climate science. He has sued the EPA to block it from enforcing rules against regional smog and airborne mercury pollution. At one point, he copy-and-pasted a letter from an oil company onto official state letterhead, added his signature, and mailed it to the agency he will soon run.
He even has a long-running kerfuffle about chickenshit. Drew Edmondson, Pruitt’s predecessor, alleged that Tyson Foods and other poultry companies were dumping too much chicken manure into the Illinois River. The river had become choked with toxic algae. But after becoming attorney general in 2011, Pruitt dropped that case, downgrading it to a voluntary investigation. He simultaneously dismantled his office’s in-house environmental-protection unit. The poultry industry later donated at least $40,000 to his reelection campaign.

Not to mention the swarm of man made earthquakes that occurred during his watch as Oklahoma AG that were caused by underground injection of oil field waste water and hydraulic fracturing...

as the petrochemist turned union buster said: "I like smog. It means someone is making money."

The EPA has been destoying quality of life in the U.S. for decades.
They may as well rename it now.
Maybe the Human Protection Agency?
Their clusterf*#k of regulations are being dismantled daily.
Finally.

Good post Locker. Trust the private companies to make money while saving the environment at the same time! After they've polluted the soil and groundwater, they'll just look to the Fed to fund a Superfund cleanup at taxpayer expense. That's the American way!
