Last week , Donald Trump ’s modulation squad asked the Department of Energy for a list of faculty and contractors who have worked on policies aroundclimate variety . The move was unusual and led to speculation that the Trump team was looking to regurgitate the representation of multitude who live with the constituted scientific discipline on mood change . Well , the Department of Energy is responding . And it more or less is tell apart Trump to goscrew himself .
Donald Trump has repeatedly tell that he does n’t bear the scientific fact that humans are contributing to catastrophic changes in the world ’s climate . In fact , he once said that clime change was a hoax invented by China . ( Chinadenies this . ) So the Trump transition squad ’s list of 74 question were naturally met with a turn of resistance at the DOE .
“ I ca n’t recall that I ’ve ever seen anything like this , ” one employee of the DOE who ’s work at the agency for 20 year tell the Washington Post . “ I guess there is a first prison term for everything . ”
Now the good folks at the Department of Energy are gear up document for the Trump team , outlining in many ways why they ca n’t provide some of the data being requested . And the section most unquestionably wo n’t be providing an item-by-item list of names .
From an electronic mail to theWashington Postby Eben Burnham - Snyder , an Energy Department representative ( emphasis in the original ):
The Department of Energy receive pregnant feedback from our workforce throughout the department , including the National Labs , following the release of the transition squad ’s questions . Some of the questions asked left many in our workforce unsettled . Our career workforce , include our declarer and employees at our labs , comprise the rachis of DOE ( Department of Energy ) and the important oeuvre our section does to benefit the American people . We are going to respect the professional and scientific integrity and independency of our employee at our labs and across our department .
We will be forthcoming with all in public - available information with the passage team . We will not be providing any individual names to the changeover team .
So that ’s that . Or not . If there ’s one thing that Donald Trump does not like , it ’s take on any kind of resistance . And tell apart Donald Trump that he ca n’t have something will inevitably work out like a vista with that shitty , bad kid from Willy Wonka . Trump ’s going to get what he wants , even if it makes him sickish .
