EPA Head Denies, On TV, That CO2 Is A Primary Contributor To Global Warming

[hatrack]

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt said Thursday he does not believe carbon dioxide is a primary contributor to global warming.

"I think that measuring with precision human activity on the climate is something very challenging to do and there's tremendous disagreement about the degree of impact, so no, I would not agree that it's a primary contributor to the global warming that we see ," he told CNBC's "Squawk Box."

"But we don't know that yet ... We need to continue the debate and continue the review and the analysis," he added.

Pruitt's view is at odds with the opinion of NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. "The planet's average surface temperature has risen about 2.0 degrees Fahrenheit (1.1 degrees Celsius) since the late 19th century, a change driven largely by increased carbon dioxide and other human-made emissions into the atmosphere," NASA and NOAA said in January.

1. What people don't realize is that these scum know CO2 is causing warming.

Not only do they not care. They welcome it. There are so many resources locked up under the poles; oil, gold, minerals of all sorts that we cannot access until the ice melts, that they are willing to chance destroying the entire planet in order to access them. They are insane with a mental illness called greed.

2. Didn't he get the memo?

He is supposed to either argue that global warming is non-existent, part of nature's natural cycle, or if it does exist that humans have little to do with it.
Oh yeah, he just does not want the EPA to control the CO2 produced by corporations...silly me. I hear particulate matter is also good for the lungs, Mr. Pruitt. Sad.
