Judge Orders EPA To Produce Science Behind Pruitt's Climate Claims

The EPA boss has so far resisted attempts to show the science backing up his claims. His critics say such evidence doesn't exist, even as Pruitt has called for greater science transparency at the agency. Now, a court case may compel him to produce research that attempts to contradict the mountain of peer-reviewed studies collected by the world's top science agencies over decades that show humans are warming the planet at an unprecedented pace through the burning of fossil fuels.
Not long after he took over as EPA administrator, Pruitt appeared on CNBC's "Squawk Box," where he was asked about carbon dioxide and climate change. He said, "I would not agree that it's a primary contributor to the global warming that we see." The next day, Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, or PEER, filed a Freedom of Information Act request seeking the studies Pruitt used to make his claims. Specifically, the group requested "EPA documents that support the conclusion that human activity is not the largest factor driving global climate change." On Friday, the chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Beryl Howell, ordered the agency to comply.

The next administration will have to be hard working mother fukkers to put this hungry dumpty government back together again.

Dems get blamed for the overhead of cleaning up Republican messes. Once shyt is running again, Republicans take the credit.

He’ll produce receipts from the fossil fuel industry :snooze:
I even know scientists in the fossil fuel industry who believe that fossil fuels are what is causing global warming.

ExxonMobile and most other big oil companies even supported the Paris Accords and are behind the carbon tax now.

It's pretty much just the coal industry and a coalition of businessmen who are still against Global Warming. Trump is fighting a losing battle and all his allies are dinosaurs.
