EPA keeps scientists from speaking about report on climate
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The Environmental Protection Agency kept three scientists from speaking at a Monday event in a move condemned by researchers and Democratic members of Congress as an attempt by the agency to silence a discussion of climate change.
The scientists were scheduled to discuss a report on the health of Narragansett Bay, New England's largest estuary. Among the findings in the 500-page report is that climate change is affecting air and water temperatures, precipitation, sea level and fish.
The EPA didn't explain why the scientists were told not to speak, but said in a statement that the agency supports the program that published the document, the Narragansett Bay Estuary Program, with a $600,000 annual grant. The EPA is the sole funder of the program. (LINK)

Their actions should come as no surprise-- after all, isn't the job of Trump's Environmental Pollution Agency to protect those who pollute the environment?
Sad that many people want to avoid or deny the existence of science. Especially the ''new'' EPA.
The new name of the EPA now that's Trump's minions are in charge is the Environmental Polluting Agency. (Their job under trump is to protect pollution when ever and where-ever they can find it!
Wed don't need no lousy science!
