Fourth of July greetings will come tomorrow. For now, this is what is on my heart and mind, folks. I couldn’t help myself. I’d sworn off politics–but this just frosts me. Please read how the President of “Hope and Change” hopes that you won’t mind if he doesn’t change at all–in fact, he’s lying (gasp!). The article is in the Wall Street Journal auhored by Kimberley Strassel.
Read this piece on how he is silencing a member of the EPA who dared to write that the science on “global warming” is not at all clear and that the administration’s stand on the issue is a bad one.
Key graphs:
The response to Mr. Carlin was an email from his boss, Al McGartland, forbidding him from “any direct communication” with anyone outside of his office with regard to his analysis. When Mr. Carlin tried again to disseminate his analysis, Mr. McGartland decreed: “The administrator and the administration have decided to move forward on endangerment, and your comments do not help the legal or policy case for this decision. . . . I can only see one impact of your comments given where we are in the process, and that would be a very negative impact on our office.” (Emphasis added.)
Mr. McGartland blasted yet another email: “With the endangerment finding nearly final, you need to move on to other issues and subjects. I don’t want you to spend any additional EPA time on climate change. No papers, no research etc, at least until we see what EPA is going to do with Climate.” Ideology? Nope, not here. Just us science folk. Honest.
