It is the latest in a series of Trump administration efforts to dispute, silence or downplay climate change.
The Energy Department has added āclimate change,ā āgreenā and ādecarbonizationā to its growing ālist of words to avoidā at its Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, according to an email issued Friday and obtained by POLITICO.
The words on the DOE list are at the heart of EEREās mission: It is the governmentās largest investor in technologies that help reduce heat-trapping emissions that cause climate change as well as the hazardous pollution from fossil fuels. It is the latest in a series of Trump administration efforts to dispute, silence or downplay the realities of climate change.
āPlease ensure that every member of your team is aware that this is the latest list of words to avoid ā and continue to be conscientious about avoiding any terminology that you know to be misaligned with the Administrationās perspectives and priorities,ā the directive from acting director of external affairs Rachel Overbey said.
Add this to yet another reason the world is turning away from the USA. The USA is losing superpower status faster than a dandelion losing its seeds in the wind.
