Trump want's to start this with a Witch Hunt. Somehow I'm not surprised...

http://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/310133-energy-dept-wont-give-climate-change-staffers-names-to-trump

The Department of Energy said Tuesday it will reject the request by President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team to name staffers who worked on climate change programs.

Energy spokesman Eben Burnhan-Snyder said the agency received “significant feedback” from workers regarding a questionnaire from the transition team that leaked last week.

“Some of the questions asked left many in our workforce unsettled,” Snyder said.

The survey for department leadership included more than 70 questions regarding what the agency does, its workforce, costs, professional affiliations and more.

But it also asked for a list of employees who worked on various climate change priorities in President Obama’s administration, including the Paris climate agreement and the social cost of carbon, an accounting measure for the costs of climate change.

That led to fears that Trump’s administration was undertaking a “witch hunt” to single out those workers.

I say fire them all....eliminate the entire department agency!

What part of ''Drain the swamp'' did you not get?

Hahaha...

So the names of people that produce reports that public policy is based on should be kept secret?

Well that's just plain stupid.

How do you ask people about the veracity of their report?

Look.. I get it... The Global Warming Alarmists have been wrong for decades and you want to keep the idiocy moving forward unabated, and exposing their stupidity and corruption would be good for America, and therefore bad for Democrats.

DON'T FILL OUT THE QUESTIONS ,DON'T HAVE A JOB THERE FOR REDUCING THE SIZE OF GOVERNMENT. WIN WIN SITUATION.

Is the Dept of Energy undercover or something? Turn over the names! Better now than later.

This administration is infested with opportunist and marxist operators. They have swindled all kinds of money in taxpayer funds. You can start with all the greenies like Solyndra.

Climate change deniers. Hmmm. Aren't these the same folks who were initially in the global warming camp?
And when it turned out that the earth wasn't warming, they switched their argument o climate change.
Who would deny that climate changes. It's called the weather.
But to scam government funding on something so elementary is ridiculous.
Let's all worship on the new alter of environment. I don't think so!
They need to publish the names. And show all their work. So they can be shown for the frauds they are. And then shown the door. And close up shop.
It's another useless government agency. Masquerading as something important. It's no such thing. About as important as The Flat Earth Society.

How dare they! Just imagine some of the outrageous questions, like justify the existence of your position?

“Some of the questions asked left many in our workforce unsettled,” Snyder said.

What has your department accomplished in the past 8 years?
What has your department attempted, but failed, to accomplish in the past 8 years?
How many employees did it require for your department to achieve those accomplishments?
How much money did your department spend on those accomplishments? And on your failures?

Why would anyone ask such "Deplorable" questions, of our public servants?

I posted this in response to nickie's post on Climate Nutbags. Proving even the hardcore believers in AGW know they are full of shit and manipulating the data:

Of course nickie disappeared and never resonded...LOL

Come on, nickie, your still an idiot. You still believe in the conspiracy that is global warming, climate change, agw, or whatever its designation de jour? It's Grand WARDEN of the Knights Carbonic. Knights Carbonic are the scientists that perpetuate the scam that is AGW. Obviously the Grand WARDEN is their leader.

Now read this from the original moonbat, your George Monbiot who himself admits that AGW is a hoax, with that revelation in mind:

To bury man-made climate change, a far wider conspiracy would have to be revealed. Luckily for the sceptics, and to my intense disappointment, I have now been passed the damning email that confirms that the entire science of global warming is indeed a scam.

Had I known that it was this easy to rig the evidence, I wouldn't have wasted years of my life promoting a bogus discipline. In the interests of open discourse, I feel obliged to reproduce it here.

Gentlemen, the culmination of our great plan approaches fast. What the Master called "the ordering of men's affairs by a transcendent world state, ordained by God and answerable to no man", which we now know as Communist World Government, advances towards its climax at Copenhagen. For 185 years since the Master, known to the laity as Joseph Fourier, launched his scheme for world domination, the entire physical science community has been working towards this moment.

The early phases of the plan worked magnificently. First the Master's initial thesis – that the release of infrared radiation is delayed by the atmosphere – had to be accepted by the scientific establishment. I will not bother you with details of the gold paid, the threats made and the blood spilt to achieve this end. But the result was the elimination of the naysayers and the disgrace or incarceration of the Master's rivals. Within 35 years the 3rd Warden of the Grand Temple of the Knights Carbonic (our revered prophet John Tyndall) was able to "demonstrate" the Master's thesis. Our control of physical science was by then so tight that no major objections were sustained.

More resistance was encountered (and swiftly dispatched) when we sought to install the 6th Warden (Svante Arrhenius) first as professor of physics at Stockholm University, then as rector. From this position he was able to project the Master's second grand law – that the infrared radiation trapped in a planet's atmosphere increases in line with the quantity of carbon dioxide the atmosphere contains. He and his followers (led by the Junior Warden Max Planck) were then able to adapt the entire canon of physical and chemical science to sustain the second law.

Then began the most hazardous task of all: our attempt to control the instrumental record. Securing the consent of the scientific establishment was a simple matter. But thermometers had by then become widely available, and amateur meteorologists were making their own readings. We needed to show a steady rise as industrialisation proceeded, but some of these unfortunates had other ideas. The global co-option of police and coroners required unprecedented resources, but so far we have been able to cover our tracks.

The over-enthusiasm of certain of the Knights Carbonic in 1998 was most regrettable. The high reading in that year has proved impossibly costly to sustain. Those of our enemies who have yet to be silenced maintain that the lower temperatures after that date provide evidence of global cooling, even though we have ensured that eight of the 10 warmest years since 1850 have occurred since 2001. From now on we will engineer a smoother progression.

Our co-option of the physical world has been just as successful. The thinning of the Arctic ice cap was a masterstroke. The ring of secret nuclear power stations around the Arctic circle, attached to giant immersion heaters, remains undetected, as do the space-based lasers dissolving the world's glaciers.

Altering the migratory and reproductive patterns of the world's wildlife has proved more challenging. Though we have now asserted control over the world's biologists, there is no accounting for the unauthorised observations of farmers, gardeners, birdwatchers and other troublemakers. We have therefore been forced to drive migrating birds, fish and insects into higher latitudes, and to release several million tonnes of plant pheromones every year to accelerate flowering and fruiting. None of this is cheap, and ever more public money, secretly diverted from national accounts by compliant governments, is required to sustain it.

The co-operation of these governments requires unflagging effort. The capture of George W Bush, a late convert to the cause of Communist World Government, was made possible only by the threatened release of footage filmed by a knight at Yale, showing the future president engaged in coitus with a Ford Mustang. Most ostensibly capitalist governments remain apprised of where their real interests lie, though I note with disappointment that we have so far failed to eliminate Vaclav Klaus. Through the offices of compliant states, the Master's third grand law has been established: world government will be established under the guise of controlling man-made emissions of greenhouse gases.

Keeping the scientific community in line remains a challenge. The national academies are becoming ever more querulous and greedy, and require higher pay-offs each year. The inexplicable events of the past month, in which the windows of all the leading scientific institutions were broken and a horse's head turned up in James Hansen's bed, appear to have staved off the immediate crisis, but for how much longer can we maintain the consensus? Knights Carbonic, now that the hour of our triumph is at hand, I urge you all to redouble your efforts. In the name of the Master, go forth and terrify.

Professor Ernst Kattweizel, University of Redcar. 21st Grand Warden of the Temple of the Knights Carbonic.

This is the kind of conspiracy the deniers need to reveal to show that man-made climate change is a con. The hacked emails are a hard knock, but the science of global warming withstands much more than that.

PUBLIC RECORD!

robmull Loc: florida

They are hiding the fact that many (D's) in the NSA didn't think Hillary was trustworthy enough to be POTUS, and started dumping everything they could to "expose" her long-time treachery, treason and (D)eceit. NSA knew more about Hillary's malfeasance-of-character than America, and had all the necessary tools to make-sure she would be (D)iscombubulated on impact!!! This is certainly "GREAT" for America {as some have said}, but VERY, VERY bad for the entire Demonrat Marxist Party!!! They must cover this up with every trick they have in their huge bag-of-tricks!!! Keep the focus off Demonrats and cast-the-lights on Russia; or Syria or Iraq or Trump or "Dubya" or Palin or "Mad Dog"!!! Hummmmmmmmmm. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD J. TRUMP!!!
