I’m sure Donald “the draft dodging coward” Trump and his transition staff of assholes will be thrilled with this response.

Good for them. Last thing we need is a witch hunt pandering to fossil fuel idiots who realize they can’t keep up their energy monopoly due to science and facts.

This is good, but the information will be available to the Trumpites following the election. As long as they are prepared to do the work necessary to search out individuals by the conferences they attended, the papers they authored, etc.

“I have in my pocket a list of ‘scientists’ at the Department of Energy.”

“Are you now, or have you ever been, a believer in ‘science’?”

“Are you willing to ‘name names’ of colleagues?”

“Answer the question, please!”

Unfortunately most of the really good list makers are long gone. But maybe reading “Inside the Third Reich” will help them ferret out the “bad” ones.

All the fossil fuel companies admit that human-caused global warming is real. From Exxon’s website:

Our position on climate change

We have the same concerns as people everywhere – and that is how to provide the world with the energy it needs while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The risk of climate change is clear and the risk warrants action. Increasing carbon emissions in the atmosphere are having a warming effect. There is a broad scientific and policy consensus that action must be taken to further quantify and assess the risks.

ExxonMobil is taking action by reducing greenhouse gas emissions in its operations, helping consumers reduce their emissions, supporting research that leads to technology breakthroughs and participating in constructive dialogue on policy options.

Addressing climate change, providing economic opportunity and lifting billions out of poverty are complex and interrelated issues requiring complex solutions. There is a consensus that comprehensive strategies are needed to respond to these risks.

Just delaying the inevitable. If you think Civil Service laws are going to stop Trump and his white nationalist oligarchy orgy, then you’re frighteningly naive.
