YouTube Description
as posted by the channelTrump will also be replacing the desks of government climate scientists with sandboxes for them to bury their heads in. Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Responding to reports of censorship at federal agencies, the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) filed four Freedom of Information Act requests on Thursday with the Trump administration's Department of Energy (DOE), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Department of the Interior, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), seeking "all directives or communications barring or removing climate-related words or phrases from any formal agency communications."
CBD's Taylor McKinnon referenced Politico's reporting from Wednesday, which suggested staff in the DOE's international climate office had been instructed not to use phrases including "climate change," "emissions reductions," and "Paris agreement" in written memos or briefings.
"This is like telling government scientists not to mention gravity or the fact that the Earth revolves around the sun," McKinnon said. "The Trump administration can deny the reality of the climate crisis, but it can't make it go away by simply telling government employees not to mention it anymore. This kind of anti-science meddling leads us straight back to the dark ages."
The organization said it planned to file additional requests with other federal agencies in coming days.”*
