On eve of Trump, Obama’s Energy Department announces new policy to protect scientists
WaPo ^ | 1/11/17 | Chris Mooney

Speaking at the National Press Club Wednesday, outgoing Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz announced a new “scientific integrity” policy for an agency recently wracked by concerns about how an administration led by President-elect Donald Trump will treat employees who worked on climate change and other sensitive energy-related issues.

“It’s part of establishing the environment that allows scientist to do their work, to stay with us, and to recruit new people,” Moniz said in announcing the new policy.

Moniz, a physicist, gave an example of his own role in negotiating the Iran nuclear deal. “Seven of our laboratories were providing near real-time support to our negotiating positions in a highly technical negotiation,” Moniz said, “and I

Did they Amend the U.S. Constitution?

Did they add this to the Bible?

Oh...well...then...it can be gone as quickly as it arrived.

So they’re admitting that climate scientists are full of crap, nice.

Fine, write any policy you want, Trump will be more than happy to trash it on Inauguration Day. The fact is, you should be accountable for your work. If you’re lying, cheating, and scamming at work, you shouldn’t have special regulations protecting you and your garbage work.

I assume none of them ever contemplated Trump winning, so hopefully they will miss some “important” changes they must enshrine in “law.”

Was that protection issued through executive order? If so it’s gone on the 20th. Real scientists shouldn’t worry, those who sold their soul for a paycheck should absolutely worry

Just something that Trump is going to have to correct. These bastards are the biggest hoaxers and scammers to ever come down the pike. Obammie knows it and that is why he’s doing this BS. They need to be thrown in jail for bilking the taxpayers out of billions of dollars.

90% of Energy and EPA needs to be cut, and the non-harmful duties sent back to the states.

This is low hanging fruit. They are basically saying “Fire Me” when they come out the woodwork for their precious funding. The worst “deal” ever in history, as Trump has noted, and this d-bag voluntarily stands up as says he’s partially responsible? LoL! The smart ones are digging in for cover!

This is to protect the scientists who are willfully lying about “climate change” .. which is a hoax.

If you want the truth, it’s out there; start here:

“POWER GRAB: How Obama’s Green Policies Will Steal Your Freedom and Bankrupt America”, by Christopher C. Horner

“RED HOT LIES: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud, and Deception to Keep You Misinformed”
by Christopher C. Horner

Mr. Horner is a NYT Best Selling Author

Just recommend these two books to those in your family who are not willing to investigate the REAL DATA regarding the possibility of “climate change”.

I’m concerned about Rex Tillerson’s comments; however, he’s looking at it from a “scientist” position - and perhaps he has overlooked other aspects of the data .. as to the FACT that the ORIGINAL DATA WAS MADE UP .. IT WAS NOT REAL.
