Trump’s pick to lead key science agency actually accepts human-caused global warming

Perhaps the White House wasn’t paying close attention when they picked Barry Myers to run the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). During Myers’ confirmation hearing on Wednesday, he repeatedly expressed support for climate science research, and admitted that a recent federal assessment clearly indicated that the vast majority of global warming is due to human activities. 

This puts Myers, the former CEO of AccuWeather, out of step with other high-profile President Donald Trump nominees, including Jim Bridenstine, Trump’s pick to lead NASA.
