This is like making the executive of a tobacco company the head of U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, and announcing smoking is good for your health.

SenSasse Please do something so my children have a future!!!!!!

How evil and twisted can you get.

Coal and fossil fuel industries should use high tech carbon emission controls because it is good and smart business. Good for labor, good for the public and smart for management. Julie Ann Racino, ASPA, 2018

When will we be able to breathe deeply again? Wheeler (dealer) is a skunk, so he's used to foul air. It envelopes him constantly.

Thank God. Keep a rolln’. damned eco nazis

Inside job sad

Typical Trump administration, a coal lobbyist administers the EPA !!!! No such thing as clean coal

We can NOT allow this president to destroy this Country...whether he is ethier to stupid or to greedy to take it seriously, the environment is to important to our future and our children's future!!!

I suspect that, come the new year, Wheeler will be spending a goodly amount of time testifying to House committees.

Good !!!

Like asking Al Capone to lead the Dept of Justice.

thorharris666 'Former' ?

If Trump picked Hillary Clinton for a staff role, CNN would complain, simply because she'd be a 'Trump pick'.

It amazes me that republicans are fine aligning themselves with the stupidity of such a ridiculous denial!

Good grief!!!

There are other products & technology's out there that would leave less carbon footprint. But it appears that politician, big business like oil and gas seem to be pushing against it? $$$ People want the change UNFCCC

Sadly, it is becoming apparent that some in big business & positions of power care more about $$$ than the future of thier own children.

He only picks the 'Best'.

JimInhofe A hoax?

Inhofe is an idiot

Money over country

Global warming is bread and butter for world bureaucracy. They cannot exists without this nonsense

& STILL the REPUBLICANS DO NOTHING.

I'm curious AndrewRWheeler n JimInhofe how much do you have to numb and distract yourselves just so you can live with yourselves? All the money and power in the world can't buy peace, love, respect, joy... notmyhero stopkiddingyourselves climatechange

Andy ain't Dandy.

So clearly he hates us all got it thanks

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 ***REAL NEWS ALERT***

A GREAT pick!

Take care of our responsibilities and clean up our garbage and quite dumping our garbage in the ocean and the planet will take care of itself.

Climate change is a HOAX.

Why r they so against the idea of climate change?

When has climate ever remained constant?

Just UN freakin’ believable.

We all know that the climate is changing, it's not rocket science. It's been warming since the ice age. The question is why? It not because of man, it's because of the hot rock we live on and the hot magma and gasses it spews. The earth has been designed to clean itself...

This is the most disgusting hypocrisy of the day. There are hypocrisies every day from the Trump administration, but having a coal lobbyist head the environmental protection agency is hypocrisy at its worst

If anyone is shocked by this, you’re not paying attention.

Excellent. Could they please just abolish the EPA altogether? 🤗

I love it!

Stunning....Not

'Dumb and Dumber.'

Not a swamp it's quick sand

If the world survives long enough, these people who deny science and climate change will be judged as fools and idiots.

Making America unsafe

swamp

Trump determined to kill our environment.

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

And spend those savings 2 pay down NationalDebt

Climate change is a hoax; it’s designed to control the middle class and keep them in their place. Funny how no celebrities or the elite ever have to give up anything or sacrifice. But middle class - don’t drive; don’t do this; don’t do that. All in the name of climate change.

Since there is no climate change happening other than the approaching mini ice age, there's is nothing to protect with bogus regulations only aimed at destabilizing the US workforce!

You just say climate change is a hoax but you don’t say what aspect of it he is in disagreement with you just sum it up without explanation

Garbage administration hies nothing but garbage. Business as usual; nothing new here.

I'm loving Wheeler more and more!

Money its all about the money. Be not blind the propaganda surrounding climate change deniers is to convince the affected that nothing is happening all the while they line their pockets

Another scumbag who's own pockets are more important to him than an entire country's future.

Well it is a hoax, see no problem..

SAD realDonaldTrump

Fake news

We all sector invest using Blackrock and The Vanguard Group, and only if we were stupid, would we ever subscribe to 'climate change', and risk trillions of these investments. If this 'hoax' gains traction our vessels to our favorite drug, money, will be severely impeded. MAGA

JUST IN: President Trump has named a former CEO of McDonalds to head the President's Physical Fitness Council.

I like this guy. Put him in. Not afraid to stand up to you thugs..

Republicans are a disgrace to humanity.

Why everyone is working at the lieing trump adm. looks like mafia?

So-called, 'climate change' IS! a hoax.. Follow the money.. It's an approach that will rarely let you down..

wow he has an incredibly punchable face.

Andrew Wheeler, the former coal lobbyist who is now acting administrator of the EPA, was a 'driving force' behind the agenda of Sen. James Inhofe, who called climate change a 'hoax perpetrated by 99% of scientists,' according to people familiar with Wheeler's work for the senator

How embarrassing to be CNN! So filled with fabricated anger and hatred trying to divide the country!

Fox guarding the chicken coop. Jeez

Why even have an EPA? So taxpayers can be screwed a little more and pay him and his worthless staff while they waste our money?

AWESOME. Climate change is a hoax

“All” of Al Gores theories have proven to be hoaxes
