> “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,” Pruitt, the newly installed EPA administrator, said on the CNBC program “Squawk Box.”

> “But we don’t know that yet,” he continued. “We need to continue the debate and continue the review and the analysis.”

A quick look at his background reveals that Pruitt is a lawyer, his BA was in political science, and he was previously the Attorney General for Oklahoma. Before that he managed a minor league baseball team. He has zero scientific education, training, or experience. Why does America think this man is qualified to determine America's stance on a scientific matter?

Americans, explain yourselves.
