Houston, TX: EPA Chief Scott Pruitt attended an energy industry conference in Houston, Texas today and made his views on global warming clear in some bizarre statements dissing the scientific evidence that Humans and CO2 emissions are responsible and making it worse.

RFN reporter Andy Mocksham was able to get a few minutes with Pruitt during the meetings in Houston today. When asked what was actually responsible for global warming if it is not humans and CO2 emissions, he responded,

‘Mocksham, first of all, the Sun is what makes our globe warm. If you doubt me, then go outside at night and see for yourself how much cooler this planet gets. Just go get one of those fancy new digital weather stations. That is all the data you need right there.”

“The really bad gas is called Methane. Yeah, that’s right, mostly cow farts. The only way to bring that down is to eat more cows. Simple math. You don’t need a scientist to figure that one out.”

“Clean water should be an individual preference. We don’t need a giant sinkhole of government regulations to keep water clean. I have a Britta water filter on all my water faucets. And so can you and every other American Mocksham. Conservatives firmly believe in empowering people to make their own decisions on how clean they want their water to be.”

“A good river fire every once in awhile cleans off all the bacteria, viruses and parasites like mosquito’s that thrive in nature. That is the best way to combat Malaria, Zika and all those other scary things that the media likes to make a big deal out of.”

“Clean air is simple. The more CO2 we pump into the atmosphere, the more food for trees, the more oxygen they make. The cleaner the air will get, and the more we can cut down. Third-grade science.”

“All these regulations have been put in place by the executive branch based on clearly bad science. We should let Congress decide what kind of regulations we need, not a bunch of nerdy ecology scientists and former Presidents who clearly just wanted to make a name for themselves and win a Nobel prize or something.”

Besides, NASA is finding new planets all the time, and private companies are building rockets and soon people will be living on the Moon and Mars.”

“Everyone alive today will all be dead in the future anyway.”

“That’s real science for you right there!”
