EPA chief: ‘True environmentalism is using natural resources that God has blessed us with’

Another day, another attempt by Trump officials to silence scientists.
Donald Trump and the head of America's
Environmental Protection Agency, Scott Pruitt.
The latest egregious example of censorship is the Environmental Protection Agency’s last-minute move to forbid three of their scientists from speaking on climate change at a long-planned conference focusing on the health of Rhode Island’s Narragansett Bay and Watershed, the New York Times reported Sunday. Of course, the health of a major coastal watershed can’t be preserved without understanding and planning for climate change.

“These efforts by the Trump administration to stifle scientific research inconvenient to its corporate masters threatens all of us,”  climatologist Michael Mann told Think Progress. 

“It must not be tolerated.”
