Climate Change Cage Match – Pruitt's Ready for Prime Time (Politico)

(WASHINGTON, DC) – EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt told Reuters Tuesday his plans for a "red team" review of climate change science may be televised, Pro's Alex Guillén reports, and accused scientists of not sufficiently exploring the issue. "It is a question about how much we contribute to it. How do we measure that with precision? And by the way, are we on an unsustainable path? And is it causing an existential threat?" Pruitt said. The review is "not necessarily" the first step toward undoing the 2009 endangerment finding that declared climate change a threat, according to Pruitt.
