El senador estadounidense Jeff Merkley pas\u00f3 la ma\u00f1ana interrogando al candidato de Donald Trump para encabezar la Agencia de Protecci\u00f3n Ambiental, al Fiscal General de Oklahoma, al c\u00f3mplice de la industria petrolera y negacionista del cambio clim\u00e1tico<\/a> Scott Pruitt.<\/p>\n

Merkley es uno de los siete dem\u00f3cratas en el Comit\u00e9 Senatorial de Medio Ambiente y Obras P\u00fablicas, que Pruitt debe aprobar antes de que su nombramiento pueda ser confirmado por el Senado en su conjunto. Hay diez republicanos y un independiente en el comit\u00e9, lo que significa que la confirmaci\u00f3n de Pruitt es probable.<\/p>\n

Los dem\u00f3cratas ambientalmente conscientes como Merkley est\u00e1n tratando de hacerlo retorcer, al menos, antes de que asuma el control de la agencia federal m\u00e1s responsable de limitar las emisiones de carbono que, seg\u00fan una abrumadora mayor\u00eda de los cient\u00edficos del clima, est\u00e1n calentando los mares, derritiendo los casquetes polares, alterando los patrones clim\u00e1ticos estacionales y acelerando las extinciones masivas de miles de especies, incluyendo eventualmente la nuestra.<\/p>\n

Pruitt esta ma\u00f1ana contradijo las opiniones declaradas por Trump, diciendo: "No creo que el cambio clim\u00e1tico sea un enga\u00f1o".<\/a> Sin embargo, neg\u00f3 que la actividad humana fuera la culpable de la tendencia de calentamiento observada, repitiendo un viejo tema de conversaci\u00f3n de la industria dise\u00f1ado para enturbiar las aguas en torno a la ciencia del cambio clim\u00e1tico.<\/p>\n

Merkley lleg\u00f3 a la audiencia preparado y con accesorios. Seg\u00fan ABC Noticias:<\/a><\/p>\n

El senador Jeff Merkley, dem\u00f3crata por Oreg\u00f3n, present\u00f3 hoy una copia ampliada de una carta que Pruitt envi\u00f3 a la EPA como fiscal general de Oklahoma y que fue redactada en gran medida por la compa\u00f1\u00eda petrolera Devon Energy.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 necesita una compa\u00f1\u00eda petrolera externa para redactar una carta cuando tiene 250 personas trabajando para usted?\u201d -Pregunt\u00f3 Merkley.<\/p>\n

"Ese fue un esfuerzo que proteg\u00eda los intereses del estado al asegurarnos de que hici\u00e9ramos escuchar las voces de todos los habitantes de Oklahoma en una industria muy importante para nuestro estado", respondi\u00f3 Pruitt. "Pero solo lo envi\u00f3 en nombre de una sola voz, la compa\u00f1\u00eda petrolera\u201d, respondi\u00f3 Merkley.<\/p>\n

En un interrogatorio posterior, Merkley dijo que el historial de Pruitt arrojaba dudas sobre su integridad y car\u00e1cter personal.<\/p>\n

\u201cYo, como senador de Oreg\u00f3n, resiento profundamente a las personas que luchan por la industria petrolera y que est\u00e1n tratando de da\u00f1ar la salud de mis electores\u201d, dijo Merkley. "Para m\u00ed, esto es una cuesti\u00f3n de car\u00e1cter, valorar las ganancias por encima de la salud de las personas".<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
