"Donald Trump Could Put Climate Change on Course for ‘Danger Zone’"

"WASHINGTON — For a look at how sharply policy in Washington will change under the administration of Donald J. Trump, look no further than the environment.

Mr. Trump has called human-caused climate change a 'hoax.' He has vowed to dismantle the Environmental Protection Agency 'in almost every form.'

And in an early salvo against one of President Obama’s signature issues, Mr. Trump has named Myron Ebell of the business-backed Competitive Enterprise Institute to head his E.P.A. transition team. Mr. Ebell has asserted that whatever warming caused by greenhouse gas pollution is modest and could be beneficial. A 2007 Vanity Fair profile of Mr. Ebell called him an 'oil industry mouthpiece.'"
