Buried in a lengthy Washington Post article about President Obama’s environmental policy is an illuminating anecdote about just how debatable the administration views climate change — namely, not at all:
In an agency-wide address to employees Aug. 1, (Interior Secretary Sally) Jewell took the unusual step of suggesting that no one working for her should challenge the idea that human activity is driving recent warming. “I hope there are no climate-change deniers in the Department of Interior,” she said.
The address does not appear to be posted on the department’s website, so the Washington Examiner can only go by the Post’s presumably third-hand version. Still, it raises some interesting questions: What would happen to somebody at the department who raised some skepticism regarding Jewell’s take on climate change? Would they be in danger of losing their job?
For example, what if that person posted a news article pointing out that the global temperatures have been flat for the last two decades?
Presumably somebody at the Interior Department knows the answers to these questions. Whether they’re willing to talk openly about them is another question.

Yep, only true believers are allowed in the Obama admin, so much for the whole point of the Civil Service.
“Shut up”, she explained.
That's some estimate.
Trouble is, you pulled your data from the same general region that the "Secretary of the Interior" pulled hers.
You’re fired, Sally.
I am curious to know if this new requirement is that you have to be a liar, insane, or have a single digit IQ.
Perhaps you have to have all three.
I think it's all three for any position in this admin.
Much more than one might suspect. For example, the US Geological Survey has (in the past at least) been on the forefront of science research in mineral natural resources, surface water, groundwater and water quality. I've already seen reports by them that refer to droughts as being caused by man-caused climate change.
More chilling, given the left-wing bent of the department, is the BLM which has jurisdiction for permitting coal mining, and oil-gas drilling on federal lands onshore and offshore. Permits to drill are likely to be slowed further because the agency would be following their leader's admonition by slowing fossil fuel production.
I thought you wrote “man-faced”

Interesting parallel: in that 1977 Time Ice Age magazine, it has a little spot on the top wondering how the character of Frank Burns from M*A*S*H will leave the show. Interesting because Frank was irrational, inept, unwilling to allow other differing opinions, and rather stupid. His departure from the movie was in a straightjacket - in the T.V. show he went crazy and pursued Hot-Lips even though she had moved on to another beau. Seems like he’s a good analog for the man-made climate change folks.
Another socialist democratic freak. What rock did this freak crawl out of. Come 2014 she won’t have to worry about that any longer. She can go back to her old job of washing dishes at Joe’s Dinner.
oh hey now, she married with 2 kids
and with campaign donations, she bought her cabinet post fair and square!
“oh hey now, she married with 2 kids”
Lots of lesbians are, so what?
she could have just as easily said:
no republicans
no normal white males
no fathers
no mothers
no capitalists
Liberals like this old nag need to take their head out of their @ss and get a little God in their lives so they can get a better understanding of who created this earth and all of the living things on it.......
Drill Gaia for every drop of oil she has....
