Environmental Protection Agency deputy administrator Andrew Wheeler will assume duties as the acting administrator on Monday in the wake of Scott Pruitt's resignation as agency chief, according to President Donald Trump's tweet on Thursday.
Wheeler, who joined the EPA as the agency's number two in April, has been a subject of controversy connected to his past as a strong ally of the coal and energy industry.
Most recently, Wheeler was a principal at Faegre Baker Daniels consulting firm, where he represented several fossil fuel clients, including Murray Energy, federal lobbying disclosure reports show.
Murray Energy's CEO, Bob Murray, who has been photographed with Wheeler and Energy Department Secretary Rick Perry at a meeting, has been publicly denied the impact of climate change and has said that carbon dioxide, which the EPA lists as the primary greenhouse gas, is not a pollutant.

There is global warming, but mostly in the Arctic, Siberia, Canada and other places that need the warming. Warming is beneficial and has saved us from an ice age. The idea that we should "do something" about warming is ludicrous. No, we need warming.

5 Jul: AmericanThinker: Summer Causes Climate Change Hysteria
By Roy W. Spencer
Summers in the U.S. are hot. They always have been. Some are hotter than others.
Speaking as a Ph.D. meteorologist with 40 years experience, this weeks heat wave is nothing special...

The best evidence for warming is that the all time record lows are rare now. OK was the last one a couple years ago. That’s good of course. Doesn’t really matter how warming happens either, it’s all good.
Expect at least a couple of years of exploding commie heads over this...Especially if he brings back those wondrous coal-burning steam engines to America's railroads...
Visions of flotillas of these monsters pulling mile-long strings of oil-tank cars from ANWAR to refineries in Texas...

“Who is Andrew Wheeler, the ex-coal lobbyist who will become the acting administrator of the EPA.”
The ‘ex-coal lobbyist’ is all that I need to know that Pruit’s legacy is safe.
Scott Pruitt was a great guy. The eco-crazies made him a top priority for defamation. Andrew Wheeler had better have a handle this LIBBY DESTRUCTION better. Or he is doomed.
Whatever fiddle and diddle Scott Pruitt did. You don’t think HUSSEIN appointees didn’t do much worse?
For Obama, this is going to go down like a stick stuck in a dogs throat. I hope he chokes.
Sounds like the right guy for the job.
Yes it is.
Its all natural. It has more to do with the solar cycle.
The goal of any EPA chief should be to eliminate the EPA.
Yeah, the highest solar in 1000’s of years kicked in during the 20th century. We are still feeling the effects of that even though solar has toned down a bit, back to the “normal” of the 1800’s. There is a lot more downside risk ahead like a Maunder Minimum.
