Well, That Takes Care of That
EPA makes 'climate change' vanish from four-year plan
Washington (CNN)The Environmental Protection Agency has identified its priorities, and climate change is not one of them.
In fact, the phrase "climate change" does not appear in the agency's draft four-year strategic plan, a 38-page document quietly released for public comment last week.
The three priorities outlined in the plan are consistent with EPA administrator Scott Pruitt's public comments about how he plans to run the agency: focus on the "core mission" of clean air, land and water; "rebalance" the federal role in environmental regulation, shifting more of the responsibility to states; and enforce laws "as Congress intended."
What doesn't appear in the agency's strategic plan for 2018 through 2022 is any mention of the words climate change or the causes behind it, including carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emissions.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

History will not record this well. Politicians will make excuses, but the damage will be done.

These guys would deny gravity if there was a buck to be made. The funny thing is, gravity doesn't give a shit if you believe in it or not, but if you step off a cliff, you are going down.

Re: Well, That Takes Care of That
Pruitt will wait until coastal populations are under water before he even begins to understand climate change. It is still hard to believe that this guy, with his background and history, was even considered for the job as the administrator of the EPA.
But, when one considers who the moron is that’s making these appointments, it becomes easier to understand.
