She hasn't been "forced" to do anything yet. She wants to say that the refusal to reappoint 9 members to the EPA Advisory Committee which she heads has crippled their ability to function. Ryan Jackson, representing Trump's EPA appointee Pruit, does not want her to say that. Swackhamer's concern is that the kind of environmental research needed for policy decisions cannot now be properly vetted.

Quote:Democrats on the panel invited Swackhamer to testify at a May 23 hearing. She chairs the EPA's Board of Scientific Counselors, but stressed that she was speaking solely as a science and policy expert, not on behalf of the EPA. http://www.businessinsider.com/minnesota-scientist-epa-congress-deborah-swackhamer-2017-6 RE: Once more about Climate Change.. - SunsetBengal - 07-01-2017 (07-01-2017, 12:46 PM)Dill Wrote: She hasn't been "forced" to do anything yet. Bad choice of words, on my part. Somehow, from the article in the post, to which I was responding, I got the feeling that we were talking in past tense. Perhaps, I should have just read the article more slowly. RE: Once more about Climate Change.. - Dill - 07-01-2017 (07-01-2017, 03:26 PM)SunsetBengal Wrote: Bad choice of words, on my part.

You are correct that the article is unclear. My info comes from Rachel Maddow's interview with Swackhamer yesterday, not from the posted article. We are talking in past tense. Her testimony was in May. She refused to kow tow to Jackson, and so she has not been forced to do anything, though the battle is clearly not over.

The 400ppm level is one that WE have never seen before. The earth certainly has seen in its history Co2 levels much higher. Ppm levels in the thousands. This scant 120+ppm (.00012%) human caused increase of CO2 in the atmosphere since the start of the Industrial Revolution...from 280ppm to 400, is as someone put it "amounts to nothing more than fart in a hurricane". When you have IPCC leaders clearly state that climate change policy is by which the global redistribution of wealth can be achieved, then it should cause eyebrows to raise even from good intentioned folks like you.

I only hope future generations can learn the difference. |
