The Obama administration fired a scientist, intimidated staff at the Department of Energy, and allegedly ordered officials to obstruct Congress all in order to push its climate change agenda, a House committee report asserted.
The Washington Free Beacon detailed Tuesday a report released by the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, which is chaired by Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, charged senior Obama administration officials retaliated against the scientist, Dr. Noelle Getting, who was manager of a radiation research program, and devised ways to block a congressional inquiry into the radiation research.
"Instead of providing the type of scientific information needed by Congress to legislate effectively, senior departmental officials sought to hide information, lobbied against legislation, and retaliated against a scientist for being forthcoming," Smith said in a statement, the Free Beacon reported.
"In this staff report based on lengthy record before the committee, much has been revealed about how senior level agency officials under the Obama administration retaliated against a scientist who did not follow the party line."
The scathing analysis comes in the wake of a report the Department of Energy refused to turn over to Donald Trump's transition team the names of its staff members who worked on climate change issues for the Obama administration.

Re-hire that scientist, and give him a pad of pink slips. He’ll know what to do with them.
While working with a group to renovate a nuclear medicine research lab, I learned a bit about the "doses" of radiation that the government regulates. I was working with one of the scientists that was sent by the USA to Japan when they had their Nuclear disaster.
According to him, it turns out, that the amount of radiation the government regulates exposure to, is less than a person would be exposed to during a lifetime, than spending a day in a swimsuit at the beach. Put another way, you would be exposed to more dangerous radiation in one day at the beach (without sunscreen), than if you worked in a nuclear medicine lab for your whole career (Cumulative) at the levels the Government permits.
He opined, "I worry that the government will eventually find a way to regulate solar radiation."
