Trump on Track to Shed Almost 50% of EPA Staff by End of First Term
A good start, as one might say about lawyers.
The Environmental Protection Agency, seen by President Trump as a bloated bureaucratic whale, is on schedule to fulfill his promise to reduce its staff nearly in half by the end of his first term mostly through retirements, not cuts, according to officials. The EPA Tuesday provided to Secrets its first year staff results which show that the agency is below levels not seen since former President Reagan’s administration.Related: Climate "scientists" predicted this winter would be warmer than average and that the polar bear population would be decimated. Instead, the winter is colder than average and polar bear populations are thriving. Oh well -- climate science is not an exact science. Or even just a science. It's new age Gaiaism with some graphs. Both links swiped from Instapundit.
And if just those slated to retire by early 2021 leave, Administrator Scott Pruitt and his team will have reduced a staff of nearly 15,000, to below 8,000, or a reduction of 47 percent.

It doesn't...exactly.
They likely have a boatload of quasi-contract people who rely on travel pay and per diem to make the job worthwhile....
add in buy outs, and people just rage quitting because their entire departments will be stalled or starved of funding and there you have it.
were I in Trump's shoes I would put all of the Gaia kult jobs on old T-2 tankers down in the Antarctic circle for "observational duties" 2 weeks on one week off forever.....

I love that Trump has decided he's going to "dance with the one that brought him" rather than Bush that actually passed a huge amount of ridiculous environmental bullshit to appease a group that would always hate him.
Once you learn that most "environmentalists" are just Marxists, you start to understand it's stupid to try and appease them with half measures.
Trump just went full bore with energy production like every other sane country on the planet.
Show me one other country that leaves vast resources alone like we do. Even "socialist" countries have the sense to use those resources.

They aren't admitting to the 32 year cycle of the Earth slowing, the Earth's core getting more dense (maybe simultaneously happening to the libs), and how gases and magnetic waves are being released to the oceans.
Could this be why the oceans are getting warmer and the "climate" is changing? More earthquakes these past 5 years, this one potentially a big spiked one.

I think one of the founders, original poobahs who helped set up EPA in the Nixon Admin. said last year that "we were done by the late 1980s" in terms of the actual critical environmental protection or restoration. He sensibly thought the agency had vastly outgrown/over-stepped its boundaries, and mostly outlived its necessity.
Would love to see der Trumpenfuhrer - along with the auto industry, if they're not all already borg-ified by the Gleichschaltung of the past 30 years - go after CAFE standards.
And has anyone less lazy than I and who slept last night looked to see what the Fed. Energy Reg. Comm. decision was about? I mean the so-what of it all. Rejected something from DOE/Perry related to oil and coal power generation.

True. It wouldn't take long to increase the size of these agencies under the right circumstances. Still - I'll pocket the victory and hope for more.

We haven't been keeping records long enough to really know how the Earth's wobble works and what it does.

Science does not use deductive reasoning where you eliminate all the things you can prove to be false until you end up with one inevitable, absolute true conclusion.
Science uses inductive reasoning wherein you examine all possibilities and likelihoods, based on the best information you have, and eventually come to a final conclusion of the most probable answer.

Actually, (((((JJ))))) and other MOT might be interested if they don't know already, Int. Rescue Committee got its name and its start in the very noble effort of getting more Jooos into the US from Europe in the 1930s.
They famously got a little fast and loose with some documentation to - literally, as it of course turned out - rescue Jews. So when I had meetings on quarterly reports and such with them, I'd usually start by asking - "so are these numbers real, or did you make them up???". All in good fun, and they enjoyed the humor. And they did excellent work in very bad situations overseas.

No, actually we do. The Earth currently wobbles to the determinant of the Northern Hemisphere. Sending more solar energy to the more water laced Southern Hemisphere. Which does not heat as well as land masses. When the Earth stops wobbling and begins the slow return to the north the north is already in an Ice Age.
It's kinda cool to see how they reposition the sign posts where the sun positions itself on the same day, at the same time every year to determine this. Almost out of sight to the south. Year after year, decade after decade, and will continue for tens of thousands of years.
Like I mentioned, Milankovitch cycles. The left is not going to tell you about them, because actual science is involved.

That was the bang-up job by the Flint Water Dept. going off of the Detroit Water Department aqueduct and using their own plant, but not adding the chemical necessary to keep lead from pipes and solder from leaching into the water supply.
And then some of the brainiacs forged their water testing reports to cover everything up.

We don't actually *know* what is in the center of the Earth. Now, we have very very very very strong evidence as to what it is but it's not like we've drilled down there and looked.
*Crystal Caves in Mexico what were found by accident interlude here*
We haven't been keeping records long enough to really know how the Earth's wobble works and what it does.
Look, I'll sum up. We know squat. And the Universe tends to smush like bug anyone who gets too uppity about what s/h/it thinks it knows.

=================
Given Earth's known density, yes, a rotating molten Ni/Fe outer core surrounding a solid Ni/Fe inner core is most likely. Ditto for other terrestrial bodies like Mercury and Ganymede (likely with a higher Sulfur fraction) as well as Mars and Venus in the past. However, it's not the only way known: Most of your true gas giants (Saturn, Jupiter) are theorized to have a solid metallic Hydrogen inner core and a liquid metallic Hydrogen outer core. For ice giants like Uranus and Neptune, its stil somewhat of a mystery, though I have seen theories implicating things like exotic ices amongst other things.

Oh hell no. Hell. No. I'm not letting people have step stools all willy nilly.
Story time!
Once upon a time at the Old Firm, we moved from a grand old converted Victorian to a nice, but boring, set of offices across town.
The first day there, the Big Boss realized that when I kept looking at the plans and saying "but I can't reach those shelves" what I meant was "but I can't reach those shelves" and he sent the office runner off to buy me a step ladder. A nice one, with three steps and a nice curved bar on the top to which I could hold and try not to fall off.
Bitches kept coming in and trying to borrow my step ladder so I hid it and I doled out the use of the step ladder on a do I deem you worthy scale. That scale was, naturally, maintained at my whim.
Except for the Big Boss's paralegal who knew that by hidden I mean I kept it behind the door with a jacket hung off it and she would just come in and get it as she pleased.

Their biggest hysteria and area of research there and then, and what they wanted so badly to scare people with, was naturally-occurring radon under homes giving people cancer and killing them.

That's another battle and I hope its one that gets fought, but I seriously doubt it.
Congress cutting pensions back and destroying public employee unions would be a huge, huge huge benefit to the United States. Incredibly vast and important.
But I never see that happening. Not this side of being forced to by incredibly horrendous circumstances and overall collapse.

Facts are facts. And fact is, Haley has a paper thin understanding of Southern history and, in particular, of the causes of the Civil War. Without this understanding, she makes false equivalences more than occasionally.
She is a liberal on some other important social issues.I was not impressed at all with her time as governor but will say she has found a niche kicking butt in the U.N.

or
b) wait until the whole thing blows over
or
c) join BLM and Fergsuon Riot Inc in decrying the Confederate Flag and probably if still in power tear down monuments?
