This is hilarious. Over the past couple of days on Twitter and Facebook, I’ve seen dozens, perhaps even hundreds of meltdown tweets like this:
There’s some others far worse that are in full meltdown mode:
Sign this petition to prevent Myron Ebell, a climate denier, from heading the EPA transition https://t.co/kQfiYyJDPX

It even made Scientific American, who even seemed incredulous as they wrote the article:
There is so much incredulity, that Snopes had to make a page saying that it was in fact true. Screencap follows:
In September 2016, candidate Donald Trump announced his intention to appoint Myron Ebell to lead his administration’s transition team at the Environmental Protection Agency. Ebell currently serves as the director of the Center for Energy and Environment at the libertarian think tank the Competitive Enterprise Institute. He also chairs an initiative named the Cooler Heads Coalition, which, according to Ebell’s official bio:
…comprises over two dozen non-profit groups in this country and abroad that question global warming alarmism and oppose energy rationing policies.
Ebell openly declares himself to be a climate change skeptic who disputes the severity of human activity on Earth’s climate. On this point, Ebell has been extremely consistent: He argues that anthropogenic global warming, if it happens at all, is a minor issue that has been usurped by liberals to expand the federal government. He has stated in many different venues that he intends to dismantle the scientific consensus around anthropogenic global warming, as discussed in this October 23 2012 interview with PBS Frontline’s John Hockenberry:
EBELL: […] What we’re fighting is the expansion of government. And there are many pretexts for expanding government.
HOCKENBERRY: Opposing government action on climate change to defend American freedom is a perfect fit.
EBELL: We felt that if you concede the science is settled and that there’s a consensus, you cannot— the moral high ground has been ceded to the alarmists.
HOCKENBERRY: So you had to go to work and break down this consensus.
EBELL: Yes. And we did it because we believed that the consensus was phony. We believed that the so-called global warming consensus was not based on science, but was a political consensus, which included a number of scientists.

We live in interesting times.
“This is no time to go wobbly…” — Margaret Thatcher
Cities are getting trashed, people are getting attacked
Where is the DNC, Obama, Clintons, ……..all these so called organizations that have been accusing republicans of being “dangerous”..
Telling them to stop!
Latitude-san:
These silly AstroTurf “spontaneous demonstrations” are being organized and paid for by Obama’s king maker George Soros through his NGOs: Media Matters, MoveOn, BLM and ANSWER.
i actually hope these fake demos continue for awhile (providing no one gets hurt) to show the American people just how crazy and “deplorable” these loony Lefties are, and to show the world America made the right choice in electing Trump.
There is already a backlash brewing from this insanity…
That’s just it…people have already been sent to the hospital….
Kids in school have been attacked….elderly people have been attacked..etc etc
Look on the bright side. Every person they attack, every building they burn, every car they smash… means another thousand votes for Trump at the next election.
The left are demonstrating that they’re nothing but a bunch of vicious, spoiled brats. I’ve seen a number of people today posting online along the lines of ‘if I’d known Clinton supporters were like this, I’d never have voted for her’. They won’t make that mistake in 2020.
Don’t forget the false flag “hate speech”, made to look like it’s being done by Trump supporters. Yes indeed, the tactics on the left amount to nothing less than pure evil. They actually want to see blood in the streets.
They are all at the beach, where the rising seas scare tactic made it a buyers market for a brief time in history.
I have read that some protesters are being paid by George Soros, Some confessed having responded to a Craiglist Ad asking for actors to perform at a political rally.
I am sorry, I did not read Samurai´s post.
It’s been proven they LIED about the number of Climate Change! It’s called weather.
You will soon hear cries of “let’s work together” and “compromise” the last refuge of the corrupt left.
ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES
I Hope Trump uses this enormous sledge hammer to obliterate all funding to the EPA et al and the attack on CO2.
Simple one sentance amendment to Clean Air Act. CO2 is not a pollutant for all,purposes of this act.
EPA has done good (and bad, Gold King mine) work on cleaning up true air and water pollution. Let them continue that at a reduced funding level.
Good and bad……
And speaking of bad, don’t forget Flint, Michigan where the EPA knew the lead levels in the water were high but did nothing.
They have already started this through the usual news agencies.
I think they should all stop crying because rising sea levels is already a major issue, not only threatening the future generations but is putting lives and property in danger as we speak.
NOAA already have a map showing how tear driven flooding is affecting YOUR county, today.
Kleenex shares were up 15% at close of trading.
But schadenfreude makes me feel vaguely dirty, but so do several other things I enjoy. Squirm, snowflakes!
How many can source this quote:
“Elections have consequences. It’s the political way for winners to tell losers: Tough luck, you lost. Get over it.”
Give up? It is from Barak Obama’s 2009 inaugural address!
oh dat be makin it mo sweet
That phrase does not show up in Obama’s 2009 inaugural address. Reportedly, he said it to Republicans in a meeting with Congressional Republicans shortly after taking office. I suspect he regrets saying it now, especially after what he’s said about Trump.
Obama’s enduring legacy will be eight years of President Trump, and Democrats crying and rioting in the streets.
He’s probably wishing he’d spent more time playing golf, and less time annoying the right.
The folks in Benghazi wish he would have spent less time playing golf and more time doing his job.
Add insult to injury he was playing in the Ayatollah Classic with Khamenei, Ahmadinejad, and Ahmed Jannati in his foursome.
And now Obama is eating his own words.
Is it too late for me to get my bid in? I’ll gut the EPA for free … OK, OK, I give in: I’ll pay USA my life savings if you put me in charge of streamlining it.
Michael Mann: “A Trump presidency might be game over for the climate.It might make it impossible to stabilize planetary warming below dangerous levels.”
Kevin Trenberth: “This is an unmitigated disaster for the planet.”
Benjamin Schreiber: “Millions of Americans voted for a coal-loving climate d-e-n-ier willing to condemn people around the globe to poverty, famine and death from climate change”
I wonder what will become of Elon Musk’s Tesla cars and the battery storage depository.
Pull all federal subsidies from renewables and EVs and you will find out in less than 12 months. Won’t be pretty.
I would think you’d find out immediately…
They can’t operate on a day to day without them
“A Trump presidency might be game over for the climate”.
OMG there will be no more climate ? That sounds pretty bad, what will do if we don’t have a climate any more? The weather will be able to do anything. That’s frightening.
Yes, Mickey it will be game over for your gravy train, Mickey Mouse, pseudo-science.
Jolly hockey sticks!
Yup Greg, all the climate…gone…The Mann has spoken…
Just a hard vacuum down to sea-level….
This crowd deserve everything that’s coming.
actually these climate change huxters are the ones who want the poor to suffer.
I think he meant to say “[WE are] willing to condemn people around the globe to poverty, famine and death from climate change [policies]”.
“Compromise” is what can destroy the Trump Triumph. Voices will soon be whispering —
Take it easy, we need to work together. Give them a little of what they want and it will go easier for you. etc.etc. etc.
The proper course for Trump to follow is very simple. Kill your enemies quickly right at the beginning and get it over with. Peace will then reign.
Eugene WR Gallun
The good thing is that Trump actually has a chance to fix climate change.
What will happen to climate change when the records are fixed and the money provided for fake studies stops ??
Threat over ??
Since the CAGW crowd so frequently quote that 97% fraudulent survey, perhaps Trump could set up a team to carry out an honest survey of the same material and give the result suitable prominence.
Yes, a new survey similar to the non-alarmist ones we rarely hear of (von Storch and the early George Mason U. surveys) would be good.
We don’t care how many supporters this load of hooey has! The facts don’t support it!
I wonder who these people are going to send their petition to and why they think it has any significance?

As usual, morally superior Canada’s CBC lectures the world once again and Trump in particular.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/trump-science-bob-mcdonald-1.3845535
Their resident global warming pseudo journalist starts with:
Yet it is this Bob McDonald, who never allows comments on his little agitprop edicts, who should get an education since featuring this classical illustration:
blockquote>Smoke billows from smokestacks and a coal-fired generator at a steel factory in the industrial province of Hebei, China. Trump has pledged to end ‘the war on coal.’ (Kevin Frayer/Getty Images)
Yes Bobby, water vapour is what’s coming out of these smoke stacks…
Be afraid, be very afraid…
I have heard that Roy Spencer will be Donald Trump’s climate advisor.
As I have said.. Trump KNOWS how to put the right people in the right places.
You’re absolutely right. The lefties think he’s crazy…but he’s crazy like a fox.
It’s the Lefties that are crazy, not Trump.

The big question now is… now fast can Donald shut down all of those climate politics research grants?
Existing grants may have to stay in place. FY 2017 monies may be sequestered. Future grants may be curtailed. Lots of work, no matter what.
I know I shouldn’t take such joy at the psychological distress of others, but having read so many tweets and articles where it is obvious people are on knifes edge of sanity, I can’t remember giggling so much. What fun.
A lot of people need to get over themselves. And on Veterans Day they should remember millions have faced greater adversity in their lives.
This Army vet is admittedly enjoying the Schadenfreude today.

When you lie all the time, you begin to believe your own lies. That is the problem with the alarmists.
A recent article says when you lie, it changes your brain, and makes it more likely that you will lie in the future. I guess it’s like getting addicted to lying.
Trump’s Cabinet: Speculation mounts over president-elect’s team…..
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/11/11/trumps-cabinet-speculation-mounts-over-president-elects-team.html
Green liberal heads are exploding across America….
The negative comments and their arguments show that EPA is not about science as it is/was.
The good news just keeps pouring in this week. And with sue-and-settle tactics of the ecoterrorists in the crosshairs, where are the current EPA admins going to “work”?
Well, they are going to need laborers to clean up some old gold and silver mines
A few years on the end of a shovel might do them some good..
“Trump has selected Myron Ebell to lead the EPA…An outspoken global warming denier. WE ARE FUCKED”
Translation: I am about to lose my great paying taxpayer funded bureaucratic position and now have to go out and find a real job unfortunately Bullshite is not in great demand these days.
Ebell leads EPA transition team. A very good start. Trump’s written ‘Contract with America’ expressly says will leave the COP22 accord, which he can do by executive order triggering the exit provision. CwA also expressly says eliminate CPP as unconstitutional. No funding for Green Climate Fund. No funding for UNFCCC, as it has recognized the Palestinian State as a member and funding would violate existing US law. Together with Congress he can repeal all the renewable subsidies that were extended as part of the last budget 9 months ago. All in all, a good first 100 days on the climate front.
Trudeau of Canada already publicly offered to reconsider NAFTA.
And, with Kellyann Conway, Peter Thiel, and Dr. Ben Carson assured senior administration positions, so much for the mysogenistic, homophobic, racist media garbage.
Next few months are going to be much fun.
And Ken Blackwell of Ohio as “domestic transition manager”. Another Republican on the outs with the party establishment.
Mexico has also said it is open to renegotiation of NAFTA.
“No funding for UNFCCC, as it has recognized the Palestinian State as a member and funding would violate existing US law.”
An important point. Something to watch for in the future because Trump is a BIG supporter of Israel, so the action by the UNFCCC might be all the excuse he needs to cut them off.
Meh. I used to be a snopes regular. I left because of their groupthink discussion board / mailing list attitude on ClimateChange™. Couldn’t get over the fact that they fell for it. Skeptics indeed – on just about everything but the biggest scam of all.

Too late Google and the web will not forget you in time to save your dumb ass.
I suspect you may find it rather difficult to get published in any respecable newpaper now and you may have the plod knocking at your about hate speech and incitement to violence and/or terrorism.
People have done time in the UK for far less than that.
You can get arrested in the U.S., too, if you threaten the president.
Apparently she’s been sacked. And, with that reputation, will have a hard time find a job flipping burgers.
Hopefully she’ll now be extradited.
the only good thing about the trumpeters! But I am not keen on killing alternative energy research on such things and network scale power storage and long distance elec power transmission.
There have been no proposals to curtail such funding.
No one is advocating cessation of renewables research as far as I’m aware.
If funding is cut, it wouldn’t spell the end of research though, t would merely mean that funding for further research would necessarily have to come from private sector sources.
Which means that if renewable energy sources could make a profit, they would be put into place without government subsidies.
