The article is saying that Trump people interfered with the science.
This is just like what happened over at the State Department.
State bureaucrats/insiders thought they owned the place and they would tell Trump what he was going to do. He went around them on North Korea, on Iran, had peace breaking out all over the Middle East.
I have had first hand dealings right inside EPA HQ. If there is any science in the EPA, it is political science. Over decades, the political left has vetted and staffed the place with leftist “scientists” to carry out a leftist agenda. It’s all interconnected. I am wondering if some of the whiners now “coming clean” about the “big bad anti-science Trump” are really trying to save their careers because their new masters are seeing some things that “need to be punished” for not obstructing and sabotaging Trump ... like that fake military man Vindman.
Meanwhile, since Obama, 60% of US Temperatures that go into the NOAA database are manufactured with algorithm that create a long term warming trend and those adjustments strangely mirror CO2 in the atmosphere, yet, crickets.
More like the Deep State working against Trump interfered with science, just like they've been doing for years with the climate change scam.
What is being said in this article is that the EPA responded to the incoming Trump bureaucratic leadership.
What's not being said is that the EPA, as well as the IG's office, has already been politicized.
When it comes to changes under the Socialistic Buy-den administration, everything has already been politicized by the "cancel culture"
and current employees don't want to be ostracized or identified with the former administration, so the 'weenies' complain about intimidation and science denial.
The truth lies somewhere in between.
