EPA staff experiencing stress and fears Trump will suppress climate science
2017-01-27
[Guardian] Environmental Protection Agency spokesman says employees are anxious after Trump team placed a hold on the release of work and edited website.

Fears that Donald Trump’s presidency will suppress climate science at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are causing widespread unease, with a spokesman for the administration admitting staff are experiencing "tension and stress" over the transition.

According to the Associated Press, Trump’s team has placed a "temporary hold" on the release of work by EPA scientists, pending review by political appointees. The report sparked outrage among climate activists and some scientists who claimed climate science was in danger of being distorted by the new administration.

The administration was also reportedly poised to remove all mentions of climate change from the EPA website, only to back away from the idea. The White House website has already had all of its climate sections excised.

#16  We did all that research too and stuck to out guns. Now, getting rid of graft and fraud might become a snap.

It's working so far.

#14  I think folks that virtue signal loud enough may find lefty organizations give them offers. The left is tightly knit that way.

#13  What really scares them is that if this gig falls through, they might have to go find a job or something.

It's worth repeating - these people have no fucking idea how difficult it'll be for a Federal hack to find work in the Dreaded Private Sector. They're in for a world of hurt. I consider myself pretty lucky (that, and I worked my ass off) after getting laid off from Mass. state government back in 1992.

#8  "tension and stress" -- much worse, no doubt, than a coal miner driving home to tell his wife and kids that he's out of a job, or a Navajo watching his water supply turn bright orange.

#5  they should be afraid and they should lose their funding also. Climate Science became a way to fund political apparatchiks. It's a left-wing funding organ now. They are your political enemies President Trump you need to cut them all loose and start from scratch with de-politicised science.

#3  Not much science at their website. Almost all about regulations and how to create new regulations on coastal development, etc.

#2  Trump will not suppress climate science, he will suppress the climate!

#1  Trump will suppress climate science

Science is falsifiable i.e., it yields testable predictions. Does "climate science" yields testable predictions?
