Lisa P. Jackson of E.P.A. to Step Down – NYTimes.com
Ms. Jackson has said that she used the second account because her public e-mail address was widely known and that her e-mail alias — “Richard Windsor” — derived from the name of her dog and her former home in Windsor Township, N.J..

It was the dog what ate her legislation. I get it!
She’s done the job she was chosen to do; the damage is done, and will take at least a decade to repair, IF ever, given that at least one entire generation has been compromised / brainwashed / Dumbed Down by the CAGW scam.
Well, I suppose that’s good news for the time being. At least until we learn who her replacement will be. My impression of her has always been that her understanding of the science was limited at best. That she was the handmaiden of the so-called “consensus,” i.e. the activist bunch that infiltrated climate science in the 80s and 90s.
Is it possible that Obama will choose an independent, open-minded thinker on the subject of climate change to replace her? No bloody likely.
Apparently, Lisa Jackson aka Richard Winsdor has become toxic waste. Something to follow up on. By the way, whatever became of the fellow who got fired as head of the NWS?
The question now becomes who will replace her, and will he/she be better or worse?
The loose cannons are being thrown overboard. No doubt, there’s a cushy and well paying job lined up with a green organisation.
Pointman
It is the ‘cover-up’ rather than ‘the action’, that is the downfall of so many political animals.
Her legacy of active and already prepared directives (which will become active in the coming years) will hunt the US and the rest of the world for decades.
She’s been a very good puppet for ‘The Cause’.
Indeed, who follows?
Hmmm … I’m sorry, but did she faint and hit her head or something?
Oh, my bad! That was Hillary on that one …
.
Crap. Now I have to come up with another name.
Anybody named “Richard Windsor” should definitely apply for this function.
Reblogged this on Climate Ponderings.
Call me a pessimist but I don’t hold high hopes for her successor being any better or having a different agenda going ahead. To paraphrase, same crap, different administrator.
If she’s like UK heads of Quangos, she’ll get a big pay-off and pop up after a few months in another ludicrously overpaid role, that she’s supremely unqualified to do!

Just a few examples of this behaviour

The New York Times story on this has to be read to be believed. The IG’s investigation gets a brief mention down around paragraph 18. It’s stated she had decided to resign in early November and is only now getting around to announcing it. Those nasty Republicans also come in for a good trouncing, the implication being they are to blame for her departure.

The column is the very definition of contrived credulousness.
My thoughts are that she was not hard enough on industry for Obama, the next one will be much more difficult to work with.
Here’s her likely replacement, at least on an interim basis:

Career green bureaucrat. Heavily invested in the “consensus.” Iow, more of the same . . .
theduke says:
” the activist bunch that infiltrated climate science in the 80s and 90s.
I’m afraid it’s not just climate science that got infiltrated.
A few years ago the Hg limit in wastewater was set at the detection limit at that time.
Recently, there was an attempt here in NC to basically make the wastewater standards equivelant to the drinking water standards.
There’s a federal push right now to remove PFOS from manufacturing.
Cr +6 continues to be portrayed as evil right behind CO2 and maybe PM.
More and more often these activists with a complete lack of understanding have managed to gain political and more disturbingly scientific backing.
The moto seems to be: I don’t need evidence, I’ve got credibility.
Would this guy qualify?

“I wonder why? ”
To ensure that there is no unbroken chain of command and nobody can be held accountable.
Dangerous people in influential places.
Just look at Lord Deben (formerly John Gummer). He was recently appointed Chairman of the UK’s Committee on Climate Change, an extremely influential body. It now turns out he is also a Council Member at the World Future Council (WFC), which is supported by, amongst others, the aforementioned Richard Parncutt.
Much of their agenda is pure Marxist. e.g “Global common goods to be placed in trusts, coordinated by a revived UN Trusteeship Council, setting sustainable usage caps and distributing “commons income” usage fees as a basic citizen’s income. “
Much more here.

They will find somebody with the same agenda and worldview to replace her; presumably it will be somebody with less of a public (known) record.
“Richard Cranium” would have been a more appropriate secret name for her!
@John West at 8:16:
Yes, she was just the biggest snake in the snake pit. The career bureaucrats who come up with this nonsense are there forever. We have Richard Nixon to thank for that, although the regulatory power for environmental action is spread across several bureaus and sub-bureaus.
