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

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.

Great; more high priestesses for the state religion of Gaia.
Great. Another mean-faced lesbian with short-clipped hair running a major Federal agency.
Climate change is about to happen in September; we call it “autumn.”
Another day, another leftist psychopath in the Obama Administration.

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
That TOO!!!! (-;

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.
Translation:”I don’t want people bothering me with scientific facts”.
Global warming is a religion, and as such there should be separation of global warming and state.
Probably less climate deniers in Prison.
