Trump Picks Montana Congressmember Ryan Zinke for Interior Secretary
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Donald Trump has reportedly picked Montana Congressmember Ryan Zinke to
be interior secretary. Zinke has denied scientists have proven the human
impact on climate change. He's also long promoted mining and logging on
federally held lands. The transition team had previously floated
Washington Congressmember Cathy Mc Morris Rodgers as Trump's top pick
for interior secretary, which Democracy Now! and other news outlets
reported.
