I went to twitter to gauge the reaction of the snowflakes to Scott Pruit’s confirmation to run the EPA is just beginning to hit twitter …

Looks like Humpty-Dumpty time for the climate numpties.
Almost all are so gormless they only have the vaguest idea what these organisations are, let alone what they do. They have no idea how these changes can affect their Glassy-Eyed Cult, so its going to come as a real shock to them.
