Not surprisingly, the very first question of the day came from a reporter at ABC who asked Scott Pruitt the following:
“I’m hoping you can clear this up once and for all. Yes or no, does the President believe that climate change is real and a threat to the United States?”

Of course, Pruitt’s suggestion that economics should play some roll in determining efforts to combat minute changes in global temperatures, as well as suggestions to include fairly large countries such as China and India in any long-term agreement, seemingly fell on deaf ears.
Here are some of the other headlines from Scott Pruitt’s interview:
*PRUITT: GLOBAL WARMING IS OCCURRING, HUMAN ACTIVITY CONTRIBUTES
*PRUITT: EXITING PARIS ACCORD DOESN’T MEAN DISENGAGEMENT

On the Supreme Court challenge regarding Trump’s travel ban:
*SPICER: CONFIDENT THAT TRUMP’S TRAVEL BAN WITHIN HIS AUTHORITY
* * *
Moments from now Sean Spicer and the press will begin their daily briefing dance. In today’s episode, the mainstream media will undoubtedly be looking to prove once and for all that Spicer and the entire Trump administration are just a bunch of backwards-thinking climate deniers while Spicer will be forced to find 100 different ways to answer the same question by kindly suggesting they “Forget Paris.” It should be great entertainment.
