CDC abruptly cancels long-planned conference on climate change and health
Washington Post ^ | Jan. 23, 2017 | Brady Dennis

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 Trump’s 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.

The funny part is that they wanted to do it, but feared Trump officials waiting at the exit doors with pink slips for the federal attendees.

I guess their environment is suddenly getting too hot for them to hold this conference?

Probably realized they were going to have to pay for it out of their own pockets.

Agreed. And it would please me beyond words if Trump were to repeal the $1 billion Obama handed out to other assorted international and US gubmint organizations the week before Trump took the oath of office.

I cannot wait until President Trump exposes anthropogenic global warming theory for the hoax it is. I am going to open a bottle of Dom Perignon that day.

“adding that the agency is “currently exploring” whether it could reschedule the event later in the year.”

I would bet not ...

“The CDC should not get involved in “climate change” issues.”

Neither should NOAA or NASA, and I’d love to see the climate parts of the NCAR budget completely eliminated.

DDT yes, perhaps the most effective mosquito killer. Now illegal.

Unfortunately, in every agency in the crosshairs, there will be good people at risk. I have been through such scenarios in the past, not as a govey employee, but as a business contracting with the govey. But one needs to look at the overall benefit to this country. If these people can be identified and retained in a slimmed-down CDC, it would likely benefit us ALL.

My first thought was the CDC raid that presumably went down yesterday morning at 3 am. Some are calling the story fake but...???
