According to Greenwire (subscription required), EPA has acknowledged that it possesses no records providing a factual basis for claims made by Scott Pruitt that GHG emissions are not a primary contributor to global warming.
As we noted in June, EPA opposed a FOIA request seeking documents supporting Pruitt's statements, and the Court ordered EPA to provide responsive documents. Except that, apparently, there aren't any.
Gosh, I'm surprised. I guess EPA was just waiting for the Red Team – or perhaps it would have been the Blue Team – to complete its work compiling the evidence against anthropogenic climate change.
