Interior Secretary: I don't want any climate-change deniers in my department

The Washington Examiner ^ | 8-12-13 | Sean Higgens

[afraidfortherepublic]

Buried in a lengthy Washington Post article about President Obama’s environmental policy is an illuminating anecdote about just how debatable the administration views climate change — namely, not at all:

In an agency-wide address to employees Aug. 1, (Interior Secretary Sally) Jewell took the unusual step of suggesting that no one working for her should challenge the idea that human activity is driving recent warming. “I hope there are no climate-change deniers in the Department of Interior,” she said.

The address does not appear to be posted on the department’s website, so the Washington Examiner can only go by the Post’s presumably third-hand version. Still, it raises some interesting questions: What would happen to somebody at the department who raised some skepticism regarding Jewell’s take on climate change? Would they be in danger of losing their job?

For example, what if that person posted a news article pointing out that the global temperatures have been flat for the last two decades?

Presumably somebody at the Interior Department knows the answers to these questions. Whether they’re willing to talk openly about them is another question.

According the the Washington Post, Interior Secretary Sally Jewell suggested no one working in the Department of Interior should challenge the idea that climate change is driven by human activity

Great; more high priestesses for the state religion of Gaia.

Global warming has STALLED since 1998: Met Office admits Earth’s temperature is rising slower than first thought

Earlier forecasts predicted a much steeper rise in global temperatures
But latest figures from Met Office show slower rise than previously warned

Figures raise questions about the true danger posed by greenhouse gasses

Figures.

She dislikes those more intelligent than her.

Which includes the vast majority of human population.

And most certainly includes those of us who actually understand the laws of physics.

I'm cool with that....as soon as you're exiled to a "department" you're qualified to run, such as the Rubbermaid shed behind your garage.

The New Climate Deniers

The world hasn’t warmed since 1998, and those obsessed with “climate change” are ignoring it.

LOL! Spot on.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Global warming is a religion, and as such there should be separation of global warming and state.

[Zathras]

Probably less climate deniers in Prison.
She can have Big Sis as a roomie.

[Dogbert41]

She needs to concern herself about God’s global warming, leading to eternal hellfire, and coming soon!

[CMB_polarization]

"Climate change" (instead of "global warming")is the new code word. Of course, one flap of the hummingbird's wings in my back yard this morning could have dire effects on climate in 34.2 years, according to some estimates.

I'd prefer calling it AlGoreitis.

By the way, what is Al Gore doing these days? He hasn't surfaced to do anything ... for eons.

[NonValueAdded]

What, no diversity??? We’ll sue!!! And a pox on everyone who consented to her appointment. Gosh-darned Republican eunich senators. Only a handful of them are worth their salt.

[VRW Conspirator]

Man-made global warming is justification for heavy handed intrusion by government. The real story is that the commies realize that they can hold us and the world hostage by throttling our ability to make cheap energy. Without this justification, they have little power.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Bathing in his ‘petrodollars’.

[Baynative]

Sally Jewell didn’t want Obamacare for her employees at REI, either. But, she put up plenty of time and money to help Pelosi get it passed before getting her company’s exemption. In return she get’s to be the High Priestess over America’s natural resources and territorial lands.

[Arm_Bears]

Wonder how she plans to enforce it.

She should be aware that sword cuts both ways.

The next Republican President can declare that no global warming believers will be tolerated and immediately fire all Interior department employees.

[yoe]

ideology now trumps truth? The Politically Correct may apply but no one else.....isn’t this a form of profiling...this Bureaucrat should be removed ASAP, this is not a Communist country...or is it?

[stayathomemom]

I agree.

Don't ask. don't tell.

[Lizavetta]

Great. Another mean-faced lesbian with short-clipped hair running a major Federal agency.

You noticed that too? Where does he get all these broads, from the Moe Howard School of Femininity?

Seig Heil Sally.

Yep, only true believers are allowed in the Obama admin, so much for the whole point of the Civil Service.

“Shut up”, she explained.

That's some estimate.

Trouble is, you pulled your data from the same general region that the "Secretary of the Interior" pulled hers.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

You’re fired, Sally.

[PATRIOT1876]

Science so real that it has to be propped up by the threat of losing your livelihood.

[PATRIOT1876]

Is there a new requirement for becoming the Interior Secretary?

I am curious to know if this new requirement is that you have to be a liar, insane, or have a single digit IQ.

Perhaps you have to have all three.
