Energy Dept. Defends Obama’s Climate Action Plan By Firing
The Trump administration will correct this problem really quick.
Energy Dept. Defends Obama’s Climate Action Plan By Firing Honest Scientist
Department of Energy (DOE) officials withheld information from Congress to advance President Barack Obama’s Climate Action Plan and fired an employee who honestly and thoroughly answered legislative staff’s questions, a congressional committee investigation found.DOE officials, including Noelle Metting, met with staff from the House Science, Space and Technology and Senate Energy and Natural Resources committees in October 2014 to discuss pending legislation the agency opposed.
DOE wanted to suppress information to kill support for the bill, science committee Republicans revealed in a report Tuesday. Metting was later fired because she “refused to conform to [DOE management’s] predetermined remarks” and provided “candid and complete information” in response to the committees’ questions, the report said.
Additionally, retaliating against Metting created a potential “chilling effect,” preventing other scientists from providing forthcoming information to Congress, the report said.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident,” former vice president Biden said during a campaign event in Texas on Monday. "All men and women created by — you know, you know, the thing.”

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: Energy Dept. Defends Obama’s Climate Action Plan By Firing
First off this firing is really NOT related at all to climate change. It was about testimony over low dose radiation and its implications.
Another read the headline and not read or research the material.
