The Washington Post's editorial board on Friday called for EPA administrator Scott Pruitt to be fired.
In an editorial titled "Scott Pruitt is unfit to serve," the Post details the numerous ethical controversies swirling around Pruitt, referring to the situation as a "category 5 storm."
"In any normal administration, Mr. Pruitt would be gone," the editorial board writes. "Instead, even as revelations about Mr. Pruitt piled up this week, Mr. Trump was reportedly still entertaining the idea of installing Mr. Pruitt as attorney general, a position for which his primary qualification may be willingness to squelch the Russia investigation."
"An ideologue who has arrogantly abused his position, Mr. Pruitt does not deserve a promotion," the board adds. "He deserves to be fired."

(1,262 posts)WaPo editorial describes the situation as a "category 5 storm".
Category 4 and 5 storms are more frequent in the past few decades due to climate change.
Climate change is primarily caused by human activity, mainly by the burning of fossil fuels.
Scott Pruitt has a history of being overly friendly and beneficial to the fossil fuel industry.
So, it's poetic justice that Scott Pruitt is being hit by a category 5 storm.
