BILL WEIR (CORRESPONDENT): But Lee Zeldin, like all of these picks, a true loyalist. Of course, voted against the 2020 election certification. Sat with the Trumps in the box many times. Former New York from Long Island, put himself, actually, on climate solutions caucuses and estuary committees because the environment matters very much to folks on Long Island there. But if you look at his voting record, 50 times he voted against climate change legislation; against clean water legislation, 11 times; clean air, eight times. The League of Conservation Voters tracks the voting records of every member of Congress, and on a scale of 100, he gets a 14, which is actually better than most Republicans, who are in the single digits. He did vote for regulating PFAS forever- chemicals at one point and to give Native American tribes some money to actually release wild buffalo. So that boosted his League of Conservation score a little bit. But it just seems like if these other picks, Jim, that you're talking about, are any indication, these are pressure tests, you know, for the American and for the Senate. And when it comes to environmental rollbacks and what, you know, what he would hope to do and gut from day one on, you've got to imagine the sky is the limit for Lee Zeldin and that agency. And there's a lot of folks who were there who survived the first term who are terrified today, Jim. 

 JIM ACOSTA (HOST): And Bill, this is happening as we're still getting new indicators, warning lights, about our climate. 

 WEIR: Exactly. Yeah I mean, the temperatures are off the charts, the ocean temperatures, we're at the verge of these tipping points that once we go past them when it comes to ocean currents or, you know, permafrost melting, we can't get back, right? So these are such vital years right now that we're dealing with. And then this new administration, not only ambivalent about science, but almost antagonistic. So, we'll see. We'll see who is able to hold the line.
