Obama Administration Muzzling Its Climate Scientists

Posted: 11 Dec 2014 12:34 AM PST
Yves here. The fact that Team Obama is gagging its climate scientists should come as no surprise. First, the Administration is obsesses with secrecy and image-management, as its extremely aggressive posture on classifying records and prosecuting leakers attests. Second, Administration climate policy is founded on a Big Lie. As Gaius Publius has written at length, its greenhouse gas measures exclude methane, the most potent greenhouse gas. That omission favors fracking, which fails the "clean green" test when you factor in methane releases. And that's before you factor in contamination of water supplies.http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2014/12/obama-administration-muzzling-climate-scientists.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+NakedCapitalism+%28naked+capitalism%29
