Scientists drafting a climate report this past fall— an assessment of climate science, feared that Donald's administration would change or suppress it. Wonder why.
And who can forget his remarks while campaigning about global warming being a Chinese hoax?
His nominee Jim Bridenstine has zero scientific background. He’s a Republican Congressman from Oklahoma and former Navy pilot wIth a long history of denying basic climate science.
Donald announced our withdraw from the Paris climate pact because he says he wants to renegotiate the agreement in a way that treats American workers better.
I see a guy at odds with science.
A bottom line guy.
So to me anyway, this is not about some ban on certain words in a budget proposal. This is a critical issue about trust and our planet. I trust scientists a hell of a lot more than I do politicians and their constituencies . "That humans are causing global warming is the position of the Academies of Science from 80 countries plus many scientific organizations that study climate science. More specifically, around 95% of active climate researchers actively publishing climate papers endorse the consensus position." (skepticalscience.com)
Sorry Donald. You're not pretty enough to be this dumb.
I freaked out when I read that the ban was an administration directive, but was not reassured when it turned out to be an HHS internal one. My fear is reality-based.
Used to be guys like Galileo were persecuted directly by the church.
Now they do it indirectly.
Great post, Huck.
Spot on criticism, and you honestly admit that the media driven lies "freaked" you out.
I agree with you, mostly.
I trust scientists more than politicians, but that's not much of litmus test.
The most unfortunate result of the so-called climate "consensus" is that politicians ignore ALL of it, except for those aspects that can be reasonably taxed.
