WATCH Chris Wallace Destroy EPA Head Scott Pruitt On Climate Change


The current head of the EPA is a science-denying, pro-fossil fuel, idiot who thinks climate change is a fallacy. If we survive this the tenure of this massive jackass without the entire planet bursting into flames, it’ll be nothing short of a miracle.

As as EPA head Scott Pruitt discovered Sunday on Fox News, even a network that is usually on the side of big business and polluters has its limits. Pruitt met one of those limits in the person of host Chris Wallace, who asked Pruitt:

“You think that rewriting and, in fact, doing away with the clean power plan is going to improve air quality, which you say is a major goal?”

Pruitt replied that President Obama had put many of the clean air regulations into place via executive order, and then he added:

“We have nothing to be apologetic about with respect to the leadership we’ve show as a country.”

Then Wallace turned to the issue of Pruitt suggesting that human activity plays no role in climate change:

“Mr. Pruitt, there are all kinds of studies that contradict you. The UN panel on climate change says it’s 95 percent likely that at least half of the temperature increase since the mid-20th century is due to human activities.

“Mr. Pruitt, are we supposed to believe that’s all a coincidence?”

To that, Pruitt tried to argue the EPA should not be the agency that has the power to regulate greenhouse gasses. And he got this slap in the face from Wallace:

“Sir, you’re sugar coating what you have said. You said that you would not agree that carbon CO2 is a primary contributor to global warming. And the question I have is, what if you’re wrong? What if, in fact, the Earth is warming, what if it is causing dramatic climate change and that we as humans through carbon emissions are contributing to it?

“Simple question: What if you’re wrong?”

Pruitt responded:

“The issue is how much we contribute to it from a human activity perspective and what can be done about it from a process perspective.”

Wallace was ready with his follow-up, asking:

“But don’t you think the fact that we have these coal power plants belching carbon emissions into the air, you don’t think that plays a role?”

The EPA Director failed to answer the question, saying only:

“I think that we’ve done better than anybody in the world at burning coal cleanly. We have nothing to be apologetic about.”

In other words, if you and your kids can’t breathe the air when you go outside, too damn bad. At least the lights will be on inside.
