Climate Change denier?
There are no climate change deniers.
Don’t we all acknowledge that climate change exists?
Two days ago, the climate in NYC was cloudy.
And today: sunny!
See? Climate Change 🙂

President-elect Donald Trump has selected a climate skeptic to lead his Environmental Protection Agency transition team, a man whose beliefs are distinctly at odds with President Obama’s environmental policies.
The Competitive Enterprise Institute’s (CEI) Myron Ebell is also viewed by many as a top candidate to become the next head of the EPA. Ebell’s research focuses on questioning what he calls “global warming alarmism” and opposing energy rationing policies, according to his biography on CEI’s website….
Ebell and other climate change deniers have collectively described the “global warming consensus” as “phony.”
“We believed that the so-called global warming consensus was not based on science, but was a political consensus, which included a number of scientists,” he said….
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who is a big proponent of oil and gas exploration (remember “Drill, baby, drill?”), has also been floated for a cabinet position, Politico reported, saying that she could be in the running for Interior secretary….
In September, hundreds of scientists and members of the National Academy of Sciences signed an open letter warning the public of Trump’s harmful environmental policies. A Trump presidency, the letter read, “would make it far more difficult to develop effective global strategies for mitigating and adapting to climate change,” adding that the consequences would be “severe and long-lasting” for America’s international credibility and for the planet.

Besides approving Keystone pipeline, and Dakota Access if not already approved, for energy independence, Trump could announce a review of the 30 year bird taking permits given to some solar plants and wind turbine fields.
Thank goodness reason will be returning to the White House!
Reason? I’m happy for an OUNCE of SANITY in DC … for a Change. New EPA Head needs to just Organize the Destruction of this Nazi Agency!
They write that as if it is a bad thing.
