White House officials barred a State Department intelligence agency from submitting written testimony this week to the House Intelligence Committee warning that human-caused climate change is “possibly catastrophic.” The move came after State officials refused to excise the document’s references to federal scientific findings on climate change.
The effort to edit, and ultimately suppress, the prepared testimony by the State Department’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research comes as the Trump administration is debating how best to challenge the fact that burning fossil fuels is warming the planet and could pose serious risks unless the world makes deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions over the next decade. Senior military and intelligence officials have continued to warn climate change could undermine America’s national security — a position President Trump rejects.

Is this impeachable?
More like ‘full of thugs’... totalitarian wannabees... people who protect their fiefdoms, liberals, the DNC and insider corruption...
So many government “workers” are absolutely worthless LIBTARDS. They are malignancies .
That means there are other possibilities as well. Such as the possibility that
1) Climate change will NOT be catastrophic;
2) There is no climate change.
Are we sure they're adults? ;-)
There has been a running battle between State Department and White House for at least 50 years. Secretary Pompeo is pretty much the head of State in name only. There is a huge bureaucracy of career individuals that are almost impossible to fire.
Henry Kissinger who served as SoS for Nixon wrote about the friction between the two. He said that State thought that they were in charge and pretty much ignored directives from the White House.
Do you idiots know we have been hearing this ‘next decade’ alarm canard for over 20 years now.
Climate Change denier collusion! Impeach!
Is this the same fake intel people who agreed Trump colluded.
The State Dept.
Same difference
“... the prepared testimony by the State Department’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research...” I would trust the INR assessment before that of the CIA, NASA, or DIA. Their analysts are analytical and [unlike most offices at the Department of State} based on evidence and not ideology.
Intellectual giants like Maria Harf & Jen Psaki worked at the State Department. They probably have friends still ‘working’ there.

7 Jun: Daily Beast: 1. ALARMING: Trump Officials Blocked Intelligence Staffer’s Climate Change Testimony: Report
by Allison Quinn, Breaking News Reporter
White House officials reportedly blocked a State Department intelligence aide from submitting written testimony to the House Intelligence Committee on the dangers of climate change because some references in the document contradicted the Trump administration’s official stance on the matter...
The intelligence aide trying to submit the testimony, Rod Schoonover, works in the State Department’s office of geography and global affairs and had sought to include the documents in a hearing on Wednesday...

Daily Beast doesn’t mention the State Department’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research.
Fear-mongering based on computer models.
Fire the top dozen.
State Dept needs to be gone and replaced with something lean and mean. It’s been full of commies for decades. Now the queers and climate change stool samples have infected it too.
The Amazon Post...as usual,getting illegal leaks from Swamp Creatures.
Oh my god. The chief executive told his subordinate what to do!
In the northern hemisphere, permafrost covers an estimated 9 million square miles —nearly the size of the United States, China, and Canada combined.
Wouldn't it be nice to have that huge land mass --- 20 - 25% of the earth's land ---- available for logging, grazing, agriculture, and human habitation?
We are still busily thawing permafrost left over from the last period of global glaciation.
Would'ja pleae let us finish the job?
“White House officials barred a State Department intelligence agency from submitting written testimony this week to the House Intelligence Committee warning that human-caused climate change is “possibly catastrophic.””
What the hell does the “state department intelligence agency” have to do with climate?
Now “they” are fearful of what sort of organisms are lurking in the permafrost. Well folks, we’ll either make it or we won’t and no amount of gubmint meddling will change that.
