Trump Climate Deniers Prompt Scared Scientists to Set Up Hotline
Source: Bloomberg
The leading U.S. weather agency finds itself in the eye of a storm: climate change in the age of Trump.
With global-warming deniers in Washington, outside scientists are setting up an anonymous hotline for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrations employees to report political meddling. Fearing deletion, academic researchers are backing up U.S. data. Insiders are considering jobs outside government.
I am hearing a lot of worry, said Andrew Rosenberg, director of the Center for Science and Democracy at the Union of Concerned Scientists in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which established the hotline. The worry is that they will be putting another ideologue in place.
The President-elect himself called climate change a hoax and is backed by a Republican-controlled Congress that has also denied the science. Trump picked Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt to head the Environmental Protection Agency and former Texas Governor Rick Perry, the Department of Energy. Perry has denied climate change; Pruitt has said the science isnt settled.

(24,695 posts)it was the NOOA, why may you ask, EXXON VALDEZ, that catastrophic problem in the Prince William Sound put the spot light on what oil does to a f***ing planet and its not pretty. Before then everyone was was just guessing.
You want to know another incident before that one that put the spot light on oil, go into Santa Barbara some time and you can still see what the oil did to the coast line, and if you try really hard you can even smell the s*** that this stuff does. And that is how the EPA was created under a criminal in the white house in 1970
Then we can go into all of the pollution that these fascist want people to believe, have you and any of these yahoo's taken a trip to a f***ing river in Michigan and seen what happens when a pipe breaks over the river, they still can't drink from that river, its dead. Then we have the infamous incident in the Gulf, and BP spraying like crazy, just like Exxon Mobil did in Prince William to get the oil below the f***ing water line to "make it appear" that it alright, well guess what up in Prince William sound the NOAA did a little experiment with mussels, you know bi-valves that have to filter water to live, they found that oil was going into there system.
So, if this serial predator and his cronies think that they are going to take down the NOOA and the EPA for EXXON Mobil, that thinks that they are an empire with themselves and to hell with a government of people they can go F*** themselves.
I think it's time for everyone to send a jar of oil mixed with water to these hypocrite and ask them to drink it live on tv, just so that everyone can see them gag.
And just for laughs send them a shrimp from the gulf of mexico, and ask them do you think its safe, or do you think the ones coming from Vietnam, or Indonesia is safe because Exxon Mobil is there polluting the water.
And now we have Keystone and Standing Rock squaring off this coming spring
And as for these scientist that have been telling us that what we are doing is killing this planet-----------well guess what, I got your back
And come 1/20/2017 when were down in Washington watching this fascist get swore in by a racists U.S. Supreme Court Judge , that voted to gut the voting right act.
The fascist now in charge has denied permits through the National Park Service for people to be down there protesting this serial predator, but his right to lifers get a permit, for his corrupt hacked swearing in from a state actor Russia, and as far as I am concern that was an act of war.
I just wonder if he's going to get what happened to Bush

(160,515 posts)After that election debacle, most people probably thought something that goddawful couldn't happen again.
I hope US Americans aren't too down and depressed to feel it doesn't matter any more if we protest.
The look on his face indicated he didn't seem to miss the message the crowds had for him, even though he didn't do one thing in office to make up for his filthy "win."

(24,695 posts)is not going to have a wonderful time during this swearing in, no matter how hard they try to make it look normal.
I am going down there to show my absolute disgust to a person that is going to be sworn in by a person that is much or a bigger racist than he is.
He is not my president, he is a loser, and I am going down to remind this jerk that there are 65 million plus of us out here in this country that did not vote for this fascist, and I and most likely thousand more are representing those 65 million
(Wado) Thank you

(24,695 posts)like everyone was so happy that Bush won, they were wrong and 4,685 murdered soldiers later was the answer this country got.
And I can't imagine whats it is going to happen this time around...............he has already said some really stupid things, and all one has to do, his see how he handled the issue with China and that underwater drone. He wasn't reading his briefing material (you know the classified stuff he is suppose to read just to say , what they call and you and I call update and informed, not this serial predator----------nope ) he's was getting his information from his presumptive National Security nut job general Flynn that said ISIS signs were across the border in Mexico:

(24,695 posts)and three weeks before he went down there, they had these wing nuts John Bircher's terrorizing one of his men at a meeting.
Then they started putting up signs of Kennedy wanted for treason, yep a man, that saved his crew on PT boat during WWII, and wrote a book about Profiles in Courage, and the Koch's father was over in Russia propping up communist system, and then these two brothers ( future John Bircher's) come down the pike and say that you and me are dead beats.
Then three weeks later John Kennedy was assassinated and it's been down hill ever since. The country and the population as a whole use to be able to hold these wing nuts in check, because of what McCarthy did, but not anymore.
But when the Koch's daddy and couple of treasonous hypocrites got to together to spread there fear and hate and came up with that name, that the government is a run by communists, I looked over at my mother and asked her, please tell me who this is, and she told me they are dangerous, now look what we got, the Koch's final culmination of a "fascist serial predator", and his dimwit team of billionaires and millionaires, that are just like him.
And the worst of all them is the climate denying guy, and Carl Icahn, yepper--------- Carl Icahn the same man that robbed the pension fund of TWA and used that pension money to buy the airline, just like in the movie "Wall Street" same character Gordon Gecko , and then tells the employees to basically fund plane tickets for vacationers with the pension fund, then they sell it to American Airlines and most of the employees got squat, and this "guy" is going to be an economic adviser, to a "serial predator guy" that has already stiffed mom and pops-------------two peas in the pod and the media isn't reporting it like I just said, it's just amazing
I am starting to wonder if it's just me, that they are trying there damnedest to "normalize" these people that have no business anywhere except with straight jackets on, with rubber helmets on there heads

(31,182 posts)Dallas 1963 presents a clear, cinematic, and revelatory portrait of a corner of America that had been hijacked by hysteria. With spellbinding storytelling, Minutaglio and Davis lead us through intimate glimpses of the Kennedy family and the machinations of the Kennedy White House, to the obsessed men in Dallas who concocted the climate of hatred that led many to blame the city for the president's death.
Dallas's anti-Kennedy warriors include defrocked military general Edwin A. Walker--who had been relieved of command by JFK for brainwashing his troops with John Birch Society literature--and who retreated to Dallas to plot his revenge. On the same stage is H.L. Hunt, the world's richest oil baron, who is spending his fortune to destroy Kennedy. Hunt's minister in Dallas is W.A. Criswell, the controversial leader of the First Baptist Church, whose thundering anti-Catholic and anti-civil rights sermons are heard by the largest Baptist congregation in the world. Also opposing Kennedy is Bruce Alger, the most extreme member of Congress, as well as the ultra-conservative media mogul, Ted Dealey, who raucously confronts JFK in the White House and whose family name adorns the plaza where the president is murdered.
The Dallas Morning News addresses it too: http://ece.dallasnews.com/news/jfk50/reflect/20131012-extremists-in-dallas-created-volatile-atmosphere-before-jfks-1963-visit.ece

(24,695 posts)they have to report to there stakeholders and shareholders, which is more important.
And why I don't watch them anymore, especially sixty minutes, for the last three weeks they have had exactly what on the program, nothing but BS
And just wait and see how they report whats happens when people go down there to washington on 1/20/2017 and 1/21/2107, the country will get the "normalization" of a serial predator and the glossy BS.
And they (the media) is at 16 % approval, they have no reporters giving in depth journalistic programs, they have fired them

(31,182 posts)This morning's guest on Bloomberg said that GM has been climbing in stock price. That proves that tax cuts to the rich next year will mean "more car purchases".
The guest was a Technical-Analysis expert, which is a B/S economic concept.

And as for Bloomberg, that's were the public got there first inkling of Mark Halperin and his lust of the serial predator that could do no wrong.
If some tech doofus said that he might as well go over to the Faux News channel, and sit with that character Varney and other "guy" that has glasses on and looks like pumpkin head,whats is name , oh yeah, (Neil Cavato), and put on the tin foil hat, and I would not buy one share from the person.
I guess peons like you and me don't need new cars, just because there are more of us than the rich
After the swamp gang get done with the help of the fascist republican party that has in my opinion committed treason since 2008 while sitting a restaurant plotting on taking down a newly elected president.
This economy is going to look the those tiny scrubbing bubbles commercial going down that toilet, after they get done next year, it will not take effect right away, but mark my words, we are going to crash and it's going to be worse than 29 , 86, 08.
These people are just like poltergeist:

(12,047 posts)Donald Trumps presidential transition team has asked State Department officials to disclose how much money it provides each year to international environmental groups. Its the latest example of how the incoming administration is reassessing the U.S. governments approach to tackling climate change and other environmental priorities.
As part of a list of questions posed last week to the departments Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs, according to multiple people familiar with the matter, the Trump landing team asked, How much does the Department of State contribute annually to international environmental organizations in which the department participates?
On Nov. 1, Trump said he would cancel billions of dollars in global warming payments to the United Nations and devote that money instead to green infrastructure projects and environmental protection.
His campaign released a policy statement that day suggesting that he would cancel all wasteful climate change spending, which would include the elimination of all of the federal governments international and domestic climate programs as well as a rollback in regulations aimed at cutting carbon emissions.
