Poor Gina McCarthy, having her Constitution right to not be questioned over her religion violated
(Breitbart) At a Senate Environment and Public Works Committee hearing, Senator Jeff Sessions grilled EPA chief Gina McCarthy and left her unable to justify her money grab, showing that she could not explain whether climate change models were correct or not.
McCARTHY: I am happy to submit the full breadth of science that we have behind climate; we’ve submitted it on many occasions, we’ll do it again.
SESSIONS: The full breadth of science? I’d just like some numbers. Would you acknowledge that over the last eighteen years, that the increase in temperature has been very little and that it is well below, as a matter of fact, ninety percent below most of the environmental models that showed how fast temperature would increase?
McCARTHY: No, I would not agree with that, sir. A one-degree temperature is significant. I don’t know what you’re looking at.
SESSIONS: No, no, no, no. I am asking you, is it below the models, or above the models?
McCARTHY: I do not know what the models actually are predicting that you’re referring to. There are many models.
SESSIONS: The head of the environmental—
McCARTHY: And sometimes it’s going faster, and sometimes slightly slower than the model predicts, but on the whole it makes no difference to the validity and the robustness of climate science that is telling us that we are facing an absolute challenge that we must address both environmentally, economically from a national security perspective, and for EPA, from a public health perspective.
SESSIONS: All right. Carbon pollution is CO2, and that’s really not a pollutant; that’s a plant food, and it doesn’t harm anybody except that it might include temperature increases. Let me ask you one more time: Are you asserting, just give me this answer; if you take the average of the models predicting how fast the temperature would increase, is the temperature in fact increasing less than that or more than that?
McCARTHY: I cannot answer that question specifically.
SESSIONS: Mr. Chairman, I would just say, this is a stunning development, that the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, who should know more than anybody else in the world, who’s proposing hundreds of billions of dollars in costs to prevent this climate and temperature increases, doesn’t know whether their projections have been right or wrong.
In fact, the models have failed to the tune of 95%. And Sessions is exactly correct in that it is is stunning that Ms. McCarthy doesn’t have/know the answers to the questions as she is looking to spend lots and lots of taxpayer earned money. Because she was unable to answer many many questions, if you check the transcript. She was unable to competently discuss hurricane landfalls, atmospheric moisture, and drought conditions. But, she is rushing ahead to make sure that Everyone Else pays for her beliefs
(The Hill) Gina McCarthy is locked in a race against time to complete landmark climate change regulations before President Obama leaves office.
With just 22 months left in Obama’s presidency, the Environmental Protection Agency administrator and her team are burning the midnight oil to enshrine emissions regulations for power plants in federal law.
McCarthy says she’s “busier than [she’s] ever been†as the caretaker of what Obama hopes will be a legacy-defining achievement on climate change.
Obama and McCarthy will be gone and living the post-presidency high life while those in the middle and lower classes suffer the results.
