While EPA Chair Scott Pruitt is on his next scandal (we lost count, to be honest), the real scandal is what he's done to the EPA (a wholesale sellout to corporate interests, mostly fossil fuels). But here is a judge that could bring some sanity back:
Quote:A U.S. district judge has ordered the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to release any documents used by Administrator Scott Pruitt to make his public statement that human behavior is not a “primary contributor” to climate change. The chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Beryl Howell, said in a ruling issued last Friday but first widely reported this week that the EPA had to comply with a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed last year by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). PEER requested any documents Pruitt used to inform a statement he made on climate change last year.Judge rules EPA must provide evidence used for Pruitt's climate change claims | TheHill
