“You think that rewriting and, in fact, doing away with the clean power plan is going to improve air quality, which you say is a major goal?” Wallace asked Pruitt on Fox News Sunday.
According to the EPA head, President Barack Obama had put clean power regulations in place “through executive fiat” and President Donald Trump has vowed to return to the “rule of law.”
Wallace pointed out that the Trump administration’s deregulation of the environment meant that China was now pushing the U.S. to decrease greenhouse gas emissions instead of the other way around.
“We have nothing to be apologetic about with respect to the leadership we’ve show as a country,” Pruitt insisted.
The Fox News host also noted that Pruitt was in the minority when it came to acknowledging that humans play a role in climate change.
“Mr. Pruitt, there are all kinds of studies that contradict you,” Wallace explained. “The UN panel on climate change says it’s 95 percent likely that at least half of the temperature increase since the mid-20th century is due to human activities.”
“Mr. Pruitt, are we supposed to believe that’s all a coincidence?” the host pressed."
