President-elect Donald Trump is poised to become the next President of the United States.

For the sake of the United States, the countries it influences, and for all future generations, it is hoped that President Trump will do a great job.  

And, it is in that same spirit, that this petition was created to stop President Trump from an action that could destroy any chance of his success in office; appointing climate change denier Myron Ebell to oversee your administrations control of the EPA. 

Mr. Trump, I believe that you are somewhat a man of reason, and although throughout your campaign you have said many things that have enraged, afflicted, and depressed me and countless amounts of others, you do want to do good for America.  

Yet, if you truly wish to do so, as you ardently claim, and I ardently hope to believe, you must make sure that a Trump Presidency does not signal the end of a United States fighting against Climate Change. You must make sure that research on renewable energy, action on avoiding pollution, and steps on environmentally regulating industry are taken. Much as people debate over this, you are the strongest voice for change in America.  And, to you, a power and ability has been granted that draws trust.

I plead with you, sir, do not break it by employing Mr. Ebell as your transitioning government's EPA overseer. 

Respectfully speaking, he is a man shown to be backwards and foolishly adverse to what the vast majority of scientists agree on; human created Climate Change is real, and deserves to be stopped. 

By appointing him, your country will get more polluted; your lakes and surrounding oceans will grow disturbed and sickly, your air will become hazy and dark, and your lush green forests will no longer remain so.  Populations of wild animals will also start to fade, and there will be nothing left for members of your party to hunt.  

You also might cause some job growth and some industries to develop, but remember your country will be dependent on supplies of oil and coal that will not last forever. Eventually, American citizens will be unable to complete or work on the level of countries embracing renewable tech. 

Excuse this apocalyptic description Mr. Trump, for it isn't a pretty sight, but make sure you know that it can and will happen.

Imagine the life of your own children, and the following Trump generations, and ask yourself, am I doing what's best for them? 

Climate Change is real.  

Appoint someone who also believes so to lead the EPA.  

Wishing you the best, and hoping for you success always,
