Dumpsters blocking climate research

Seriously, WTF. Fascism much? From this piece:

"Michigan Senator Debbie Stabenow released a 600-page document containing 1,400 climate-related studies authored by US Department of Agriculture scientists which were hidden from public view over the last two years. [...] The 600-page document comes on the heels of two explosive reports earlier this summer which found that USDA was intentionally and systematically keeping climate studies under wraps and prohibiting its own scientists from speaking with the media about their research. Even before these reports, USDA forced many of its researchers to label its research as “preliminary” in an attempt to de-legitimize findings that were counter to the Administration’s political objectives. What is more, USDA has pushed out hundreds of its own scientists through a poorly managed, rushed, and potentially illegal “relocation”. Unfortunately, this kind of censorship and muzzling of researchers isn’t confined to USDA. It’s happening across our government’s science agencies."
