Trump Picks Top Climate Skeptic to Lead EPA Transition
Scientific American ^ | Sept 2016 | Robin Bravender

Posted on 11/10/2016 7:35:03 PM PST by Valpal1

Myron Ebell, director of the Center for Energy and Environment at the conservative Competitive Enterprise Institute, is spearheading Trump’s transition plans for EPA, the sources said.

Ebell appears to relish criticism from the left. 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.

"They can reclassify the EPA as a subdivision of the Interior Dept., then eliminate the redundancies."

Thank you for that note. And although the EPA is arguably a good idea, it remains that nether Congress or the EPA has the express constitutional authority to protect the environment.

I sum it up like this. Being under an umbrella doesn’t mean you stopped the rain.

This is very good news. If they can start getting many of these strangling energy regulations lifted, Americans can start seeing cheaper energy bills. That would be a big boost for our economy as soon as they can get these things going.

Trump=Winning! Which means the American people will be winning.

Black people don’t have a problem with voter id laws but liberals are the racists. Good video!

This post by grey_whiskers really good and should be forwarded to Trump team to stop voter fraud

It also shows what Trump did to overcome all the firewalls set up by the media, GOP, democrat party etc.

Since their religion is the Moon God, why don’t Muslims all go to the Moon ? Set up camp. Islam would be King and they would no longer have to go Jihad on anyone. Their goals would be attained. They would also be on sacred land.

All positives, don’t ya think ?

I have enraged liberal friends by pointing out the difference between us and them...we don’t treat black people like they’re pathetic, idiot children who cannot survive without constant “help”.

If I were black, I’d be mightily pissed by that constant insinuation.

“...The original intention was regulating deadly chemical disposal and cleaning up hazardous waste sites.”

Pare the EPA down to that, and put it under the jurisdiction of the Department of the Interior.

Then get rid of the remainder of the EPA.

I didn’t think I could feel any better about Trump, but it just keeps getting better.

And it's only been two days! Can you imagine what he'll have already done by January 20 when he actually gets in office?

President Trump. Wow!

...Would love him to head up the EPA...if we have an EPA at all. The EPA was a bad idea...

The plan should be to install this guy as the head director.

Close down all the negative rules and laws instigated by leftists and then disband the unconstitutional EPA.

Do the same with the Dept of Edu, put someone in who can undo all the wrong decisions and then give the authority for schooling back to the states WHERE IT BELONGS!

BATF and the other alphabet depts too.

All of these are not sanctioned by the Constitution.

I remember when Reagan won; it feels the same way !

I’m walking around with a smile and humming the theme song from Les miserables “can you hear the people sing”.

M.A.G.A. !!

Good point. That is racist to think that Blacks need help and liberals do think that.

I wonder if they will still call Trump racist after he met with Obama today?

It feels like a dream that Trump won.Trump already stopped TPP and got Mexico and Canada to agree to renegotiate NAFTA and he doesn't even have power yet.

How did you feel when Trump won?I'm still estatic!

"Oh good...still talking about what Mr. Trump “needs” to do, I see."

The Founding States made the federal Constitution to deliberately limit (cripple) the federal governments powers. And Constitution-savvy patriots now need to get constitutionally low-information Trump up to speed with the idea that a bunch of the powers that the federal government now exercises are actually 10th Amendment-protected state powers that the corrupt feds have stolen from the states.

”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.

In fact, military issues aside, note that one of the very few powers that the states have actually expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds to regulate an aspect of domestic policy is to run the US Mail Service (1.8.7). So you can bet that most federal domestic policy outside the scope of the Mail Service is based on stolen state powers and be right most of the time.

Patriots need to have Trump to do an inventory of stolen state powers and let the states decide what powers that they don’t want the feds to have and amend the Constitution to give the feds the powers that the states are okay with the feds having.
