EPA’s chief administrator unaware of climate data showing no extreme weather

Gina McCarthy, the EPA‘s chief administrator, was recently excoriated by members of the senate for not knowing whether “extreme weather” is actually occurring, getting worse, or lessening.
In a humiliating performance before Senators on the Environment and Public Works Committee, McCarthy was up on the hill justifying a proposal that asks for nearly $500 million increase for its 2016 budget.
McCarthy’s request for an $8.6 billion discretionary budget for fiscal year 2016 left many senators befuddled, since some of the funding increase would be dedicated to Obama’s controversial Clean Power Plan, an initiative to limit carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions that are blamed for any type of extreme weather.
