With little warning or explanation, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently canceled a major climate change conference that had been scheduled for next month in Atlanta.
The Climate and Health Summit, which had been in the works for months, was intended as a chance for public health officials around the country to learn more about the mounting evidence of the risks to human health posed by the changing climate. But CDC officials abruptly canceled the conference before President Trumps inauguration, sending a terse email on Jan. 9 to those who had been scheduled to speak at the event. The message did not explain the reason behind the decision. Unfortunately, we are unable to hold the Summit in February 2017, CDC officials wrote, adding that the agency is currently exploring whether it could reschedule the event later in the year.

Good! The CDC should not get involved in "climate change" issues.

Nearing the end of Day 1 and, for a second I felt just the slightest bit tired ... of winning. Then I realized I better just buck up and carry on. I’ll get some rest and be better tomorrow. I promise.

That was my first thought. Any climate change is not the concern of the CDC.

There is evidence that mounting liberals is a risk to human health.

CDC abruptly cancels long-planned conference on climate change and health Uh-oh. Maybe Donald Trump is exerting untoward behind-the-scenes pressure on the Obama administration. Perhaps Jeff Bezos should immediately assign thirty or forty Washington Post reporters to look for an indictable offense.
