"It is no secret that President Trump’s nominees to lead America’s environmental programs are intended to undermine and weaken our environmental protections.

Kathleen Hartnett White, who has been nominated by Trump to chair the White House’s Council on Environmental Quality, is a climate change skeptic. However, in the midst of this bleak outlook for so many of our federal environmental protections, we still have the chance to stop at least one bad nominee.
