Interior Secretary: I don't want any climate-change deniers in my department
The Washington Examiner ^ | 8-12-13 | Sean Higgens

Posted on 08/12/2013 9:39:55 AM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

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.

Dept of Interior is looking for bids on 2 million dollars worth of signs that read: “No Truth Zone”

It was equally obvious to Joe Stalin that planting wheat in Siberia would make the wheat more cold-resistant in the next generation - acquired hardiness. Scientific socialism on the half-shell!

The great Soviet scientist Lysenko must not be questioned!

Does anyone hear an echo?

Everyone interested in the climate change controversy should know of the first “politically-correct” scientist, Stalin’s man Lysenko:

It’s actually the old code word. The UN established the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change back in 1988, before the term “global warming” started saturating the news outlets (at least as far as I can remember).

In an earlier era they burned books in Nazi Germany to thwart Truth.

no one working in the Department of Interior should challenge the idea that climate change is driven by human activity

The operative word is "working."

Neo pagan earth worshipers hold high positions. Its not a joke. They have tremendous power. They are issuing innumerable rules and regulations that is slowing the productive economy which is actually shrinking. Obama is borrowing inordinate amounts and Bernacke prints the rest to give the illusion of wealth and growth. Either the struggle to stop these ideologues is successful, or the economy will collapse.

Prit'near dead on from everything I see in the economy and business. Of course liberals will do EVERYTHING they can in government, media and academia to mask this while Scary O is in office.
