(Image by BuzzFlash Website) Details DMCA | The idea that you can make climate change go away by not talking about it is spreading.
One month ago, we heard how officials and staff at the Florida Department of Environmental Protection were ordered not to use the terms "climate change" or "global warming" even when they were discussing the all-too-obvious impacts to their vulnerable state. Now it's Wisconsin's turn. The staff of its Board of Commissioners of Public Lands (BCPL) has been told they can't even discuss climate change, no matter what they call it. Staff members aren't even permitted to respond to emails on the subject, following a vote this week by the three-member panel overseeing the agency. It includes two Republicans and one Democrat and the vote was 2-1. |
