Pipeline lobbyists pay for his family’s housing. He has accepted more than $300,000 in campaign donations from fossil fuel companies. He travels first class or by military jets and private planes, and expenses trips that have nothing to do with his job. He demotes people who question these expenses, and gives huge raises to political aides, spends millions on personal security while attending Disneyland and football games, or on personal errands in Oklahoma.
He is supposed to be a leader of the EPA, which protects American health, but thinks he’s in charge of dismantling the EPA and abandoning protection for the country and its people. He used to spend time suing the EPA, which he describes as a threat to freedom for American business. Some 447 former EPA employees wrote a joint letter to oppose Pruitt’s nomination. Few of his attempts at destruction have made progress, so he’s both incompetent and unfit for the job.
Despite the fact that 100% of the world’s national science academies and 99% of the world’s journal-published, peer-reviewed scientists say there is no debate about climate science, this so-called leader of our key environmental department says the science is very debatable. Of course Pruitt is a lawyer, not a scientist of any kind. Unfake news: Climate science enjoys more consensus among scientists than the theory of gravity.
