If Scott Pruitt becomes head of the EPA, I think China, India, and all the European powers would be justified in levying a Carbon Tax tariff on US goods according to how much carbon is used in the manufacture an export of such goods. It’s time the world took a stand on environmental pollution.

NPR today called him a “climate skeptic.” I guess the word “denier” is too strong for the Nice Polite Republicans.

Where are all the Jill Stein voters?
I don’t know about that - a lot of folks believed him when he said he wouldn’t touch Medicare, or Social Security, and would bring jobs back, and not sign crummy trade deals - they ate it up. Also, a lot of Americans are single-sourced media, without the time or resources to buy the NYT or WAPO or Guardian (or a subscription to TPM Prime).
Now, anyone paying attention would know Trump is was likely lying - but a lot of Americans are overworked, underpaid, stressed about the bills, caring for loved ones, worried sick about health care - which the INSCOs and Fox tell them is Obama’s fault.
Just focus on Russia, Senators.
What he’s doing is beyond bizarre.
But we don’t!
I wouldn’t take that bet - I’m guessing you’re right.
According to Politifact, here is a list of GOP senators who affirm climate change is real:
Rep. Michael Grimm, N.Y.; Sen. Susan Collins, Maine; Sen. Lamar Alexander, Tenn.;Rep. Chris Smith, N.J.; Sen. Bob Corker, Tenn.; Sen. John Thune, S.D.; and Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen, N.J.
Others, like Rob Portman, have a checked record.
I suggest that, if you’re represented by any of these senators, you give them a call.
Lisa Murkowski (AK) would also be someone to phone. AK is being ravaged by global warming.
