[h=1]Sean Spicer: Coal will be one of the cleanest uses of technology that we have[/h][FONT="][FONT="]The White House Press Secretary told reporters that technology would ensure that clean coal production would be 'environmentally friendly’
[/FONT]
[FONT="]White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said that the US would produce "clean coal" and that rolling back regulations from coal plants would be done in a way that was "environmentally friendly".[/FONT]
[FONT="]He told reporters that the Environmental Protection Agency, which will be led by Oklahoma attorney general Scott Pruitt who once sued the same agency, will liberate coal plants so that they can stay open and keep existing jobs.[/FONT]
[FONT="]When asked by a local news reporter in Virginia about residents’ concerns about the impact to the environment, he replied: "I think when you hear him talking about coal specifically, it’s under the guise of clean coal, and I think the technology we’re able to utilise these days make it one of the cleanest uses of technology that we have."
[/FONT]
[FONT="]He added: "And the President’s point, is that as we bring back this industry is that we can do it in a way that is environmentally friendly and it becomes a great and greater energy source."[/FONT]
[FONT="]He pointed to figures from the Department of Energy that projected a 3 per cent increase in the production of coal which was a "big reduction" compared to the past. More than two thirds of US energy production is from fossil fuels.[/FONT]
[FONT="]He blamed regulations placed on coal plants by the EPA, which prevent them from "staying open".
[/FONT]
[FONT="]"And I think you can do that [roll back regulations and make it environmentally friendly] if you harness technology we have and harness the power of clean coal."[/FONT]
[FONT="]President Trump said in 2013 that climate change was a "hoax invented by the Chinese".[/FONT]
[FONT="]He told the New York Times last year that he believed there was "some connectivity" between climate change and humans.
[/FONT]
[FONT="]His stance to reduce regulations in the energy industry - including shale gas, oil and coal - in the name of providing employment has done little to reassure climate change campaigners, however. [/FONT]
[FONT="]The President has also signed an executive order with the intention to get the Dakota oil pipeline built, a oil and gas pipe which cuts through several states and the Missouri river, threatening the water supply of the largest Native American tribe in the country.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Mr Pruitt, who has not yet been confirmed by the Senate to head the EPA, once sued the agency on behalf of his energy industry clients. He is also reportedly a climate change sceptic.[/FONT]

Wrong on both accounts, care to try again?
The fact that I believe that the man-made global-warming alarmists are full of shit has nothing to do with my *feeewings* about the environment, is that
something you can comprehend, or should I break it down for you further?
As lying charlatan Al Gore flies around in his jets between all his huge mansions, scamming the people:

Today, I was Trumped. I have had the pleasure of serving on the EPA Board of Scientific Counselors, and my appointment was terminated today.
6:57 PM - 5 May 2017
A closer look at the man’s biog gives a few clues as to why his contract was not renewed:
But the biggest sign of Trump’s commitment to slaying the Green Blob is expected tomorrow when we’ll finally hear whether or not the president means to keep his election promise to pull the US out of the Paris climate agreement.
If this happens it will be a disaster for the U.S., with the only beneficiary being White House chief strategist Steve Bannon. At least that’s what environmental journalist David Roberts claims in Vox.
Given that Roberts is the guy who once called for Nuremberg-style trials for climate skeptics perhaps his views should be taken with a pinch of salt.
Nonetheless, he is quite right when he argues that whether the U.S. stays in or out of Paris it will make little difference on the policy front.
But whatever works is fine by me. The important thing is for the U.S. to pull out of Paris not in order to facilitate exit from Obama’s Clean Power Plan or to avert legal action from politicized litigators like the Sierra Club but purely as an upward extension of the presidential middle finger to the bloated, corrupt and overmighty Climate Industrial Complex.
If and when Trump pulls the U.S. out of Paris it won’t be the end for the Green Blob, nor even the beginning of the end. But it might, perhaps, be the end of the beginning. It will be arguably the first big signal by any major leader of the Western world that the tide on the Great Global Warming Scam is about to turn and that the Alarmists are about to be crushed by fortune’s wheel.

[h=2]Finally the Trump administration is starting to get serious about taking on the Green Blob.[/h]EPA administrator Scott Pruitt – perhaps stung by criticisms that he was turning into a squish – today reaffirmed, in an interview with CNBC, that he is not a believer in catastrophic man-made 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. But we don’t know that yet…”
This new boldness coincides with a purge of warmist scientific advisers at both the EPA and the Interior Department.
EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt has chosen to replace half of the members on one of its key scientific review boards, while Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke is “reviewing the charter and charge” of more than 200 advisory boards, committees, and other entities both within and outside of his department. EPA and Interior officials began informing outside advisers of the move on Friday, and notifications continued over the weekend.
Pruitt’s move could significantly change the makeup of the 18-member Board of Scientific Counselors, which advises EPA’s key scientific arm on whether the research it does has sufficient rigor and integrity. All of the members being dismissed were at the end of serving at least one three-year term, although these terms are often renewed instead of terminated.
Among the tragic victims is Robert Richardson, a Michigan professor and “ecological economist”, who tweeted movingly about his martyrdom.Pruitt’s move could significantly change the makeup of the 18-member Board of Scientific Counselors, which advises EPA’s key scientific arm on whether the research it does has sufficient rigor and integrity.

A closer look at the man’s biog gives a few clues as to why his contract was not renewed:
His research, teaching, and outreach program focuses primarily on sustainable development, and he uses a variety of methods from the behavioral and social sciences to study decision-making about the use of natural resources and the values of ecosystem services.
Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.

[The agreement] asks participants only to state what they are willing to do and to account for what they’ve done. It is, in a word, voluntary.
Roberts suspects, as I do, that the legalistic reasons being advanced for pulling out of Paris have probably been overdone.
