Barack Obama promised to remove politics from science, and has done the exact opposite. His Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell said that she “hopes there are no climate deniers working for her” and Barack Obama is continuously abusive to anyone who doesn’t believe that his token CO2 gestures will save the planet.

The message being sent to government scientists is unmistakable, Toe the official line of the orthodoxy, or your job is at risk. Obama’s tactics are straight out of the 15th century.
