RWrs should be the ones living on the coastlines.

Those are all mostly left-wingers. Who STILL are buying beach properties. Like Al Gore.

Well, yes. Him too.

Ever notice how lefties are MORE AFRAID of the real IMMEDIATE solution to GW? If there is a crisis? Which is accelerated installation of nuclear power?

They are more afraid of nuclear power than they are of GW.. Tells you something don't it?

But I thought all the data was out there proving global warming. Why do you need the government to publish it if it already exists? Shouldn't we have independent researchers publishing it since the government clearly has an agenda to use glo all warming to control our lives?

We can only hope he undoes this fraud science.

Please do not believe your lyin' eyes.

I'm not disputing that the climate is changing. It has been for millions of years. Man is not causing it though.

Hitler burned the books, now Trump's deleting the data...same thing different media.

Wow...you sure didn't seem to mind when Hitlery Clinton was deleting data. How odd.

holy Crap! Haven't you ever deleted emails? It's absurd that wingnuts think that deleted emails mean anything!

Researchers Are Preparing for Trump to Delete Government Science From the Web

When Donald Trump takes over the federal government on January 21, his administration will also gain complete control over much of the .gov suite of websites, which currently hosts a treasure trove of publicly available, taxpayer-funded scientific research. The academic world is bracing itself: Will that data remain available after his transition?

Scientists and university professors all around the country and in Canada believe we’re about to see widespread whitewashing and redaction of already published, publicly available taxpayer-funded scientific research, databases, and interactive tools, such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Sea Level Rise viewer, NASA’s suite of climate change apps, and the Environmental Protection Agency’s maps of the country’s worst polluters. They also expect to see censorship, misrepresentation, and minimization of new government-funded research, specifically regarding climate change.

These fears are not based merely on a sense of dreading-the-worst from a man who has called climate change a Chinese hoax, nominated a climate change denier with close ties to the fossil fuel industry as head of the EPA, the CEO of ExxonMobil as Secretary of State, and will reportedly name the fossil fuel-friendly Rick Perry asSecretary of Energy. During the George W. Bush administration, which similarly denied that climate change is being caused by humans, there was widespread censorship and destruction of public-facing climate change information and research.

“Policies and practices have increasingly restricted the flow of scientific information emerging from publicly-funded climate change research,” a 138-page reportpublished in March 2007 by the Government Accountability Project begins. “This has affected the media’s ability to report on the science, public officials’ capacity to respond with appropriate policies, and the public’s grasp of an environmental issue with profound consequences for our future.”

The investigation found that the Bush administration systematically changed scientists’ press releases, misrepresented scientific findings to Congress, and neglected or deleted information on government websites.

This is scary stuff. Since taxpayers have already paid for this information it should be protected and made freely available to the public.

Bend over and enjoy it.

Have I deleted emails? Not when I've been subpoenaed by the federal government.

And you know the best part about this, snowflake? Had Hitlery utilized her government provided e-mail, there would have been completely backups of everything. But I'm sure in your partisan-hack mind that had nothing to do with why she chose not to use the properly secured, properly backed up, properly administrated, government-provided resource.

Here is another prime example. For 8 years progressive wailed that the federal government is the ultimate authority and that the President of the United States is the ultimate power of that authority.

And yet when the incoming president-elect makes the most basic of requests regarding a list of personnel, the left goes into a full on tizzy and refuses said request from the president-elect.

WTF?!? How do you refuse to provide the incoming president with a list of people on the payroll of the federal government?!? Hell....this is a department that shouldn't even exist. It is 100% illegal/unconstitutional. I pray this pisses of President Trump enough that he picks up his "pen and phone" and creates an Executive Order abolishing this absurd bureaucracy.

Department of Energy employees defy Trump, refuse to release names of climate scientists
