I suspect most of you are aware that Donald Trump has selected Myron Ebell from the Competitive Enterprise Institute (and prominent climate skeptic) to head up the EPA Transition team (and potentially become EPA Administrator).
This petition to block that move requires 96,000 signatures within a month, so please disseminate to your networks. This move is so blatant, that a strong and immediate response is warranted.
The petition reads:
Donald Trump has chosen a leading climate skeptic to head the EPA transition. Do not let a man who denies science in the name of profit lead the nation in environmental protection.
I signed* simply because I agree, even though (a) there is nothing wrong with profit and (b) some of the "popular petitions" at the bottom of the page seem a bit crankish.
*With gmail.com not appstate.edu.
