When the Administration Pruitt is not doing his duty of protecting the environment--isn't there someone, something that we can do about it? Seriously. I will put in a call.

Report: The USDA won’t let its staff use the phrase “climate change” in any of its work

Staff for the United States Department of Agriculture have been instructed by a senior staffer to avoid using the phrase “climate change,” according to a report in the Guardian.

According to a series of internal emails from the USDA obtained by the outlet, Bianca Moebius-Clune, director of soil health for the Natural Resources Conservation Society of the USDA, instructed her staff to swap out politically charged phrases like “climate change” for “weather extremes” and “reduce greenhouse gasses” for “build soil organic matter, increase nutrient use efficiency.”

The NRCS director reportedly encouraged her staff to pass along those departmental guidances on preferred language, maintaining that those instructions “won’t change the modeling, just how we talk about it.”

Moebius-Clune’s directive, which the Guardian characterized as censorial, appears to minimize human impact in the overheating of the planet.

Though it is unclear from the emails obtained by Guardian where the instructions in Moebius-Clune’s staff note originated, her missive marks the latest mandate from the Trump administration that rejects the overwhelming surplus of scientific evidence supporting human-caused climate change.............................................
