Acting Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) chief Andrew Wheeler has put eight new members on the agency’s main board of external science advisers.

The new members include an outspoken skeptic of climate change science, a scholar at a conservative group funded in part by billionaire businessman Charles Koch and researchers who have received industry funding.
========================================
Charles Koch & one of his conservative climate change skeptics on an EPA science board? It appears that big business has the fix in at the Trump EPA.

Indeed, they should also add alchemists, shamans, fortune tellers, and astrologists for additional healthy counter perspectives

Wow am I happy to hear that. I expect to see our president any day now on television telling us the climate problem, the one that's fake anyway, has been solved with these new people in place. Good job.

Good point. This is his normal approach indeed! NAFTA is a problem, so let's rename it and call is a great improvement! Same thing here. He should have accepted global warming as a problem and then credited himself for fixing it.

He also says contradictory things quite often when he's lying and bloviating. He's not that bright. He'll say something from vanity like, "since I became President and pulled out of the Iran Deal, the threat from Iran is over." But, then the part of his brain resposible for fearmongering chimes in with, "And also, the threat from Iran is very, very bad, and very, very sad!"
