Climate Scientists Desperately Try To Preserve Data From Trump's Climate Change Deniers

Climate scientists, already unnerved by the election of Donald Trump, have only had their paranoia about the future increase during the Trump transition. Trump’s proposed cabinet is full of climate change-denying big oil plutocrats and his transition team has asked for the names of the people in the Energy Department who had worked on climate science. Now those scientists are apparently feverishly trying to move climate data onto to non-government servers in order to make sure the data is retained. The scientists have reason to be overly sensitive as they have been the target of Republican attacks and even harassment by GOP controlled congressional committees in the past.

We really have reached a new low when scientists are desperately trying to protect their data from the government in the same way that people tried to hide books from Torquemada during the Spanish Inquisition. Welcome to today’s America.
