EPA Chief Bucks Scientific Consensus on Climate Change

(Before It's News)

The facts are clear. Decades of research have led to a consensus in the scientific community that carbon dioxide is a primary contributor to global warming. But new EPA chief Scott Pruitt says it’s not, and questions whether it’s the agency’s job to regulate CO2 levels. Pruitt also dismissed the landmark 2015 Paris climate agreement as “not an America first type of approach.” Meanwhile, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, a former Exxon executive, will recuse himself from debate over permitting Keystone XL, which would directly benefit his longtime employer.
