US ENERGY DEPARTMENT RETRACTED WITH THE USE OF THE LANGUAURS OF THE LANGUAGE OF CLIMATE CRIMATE | Trump administration
The US Energy Ministry has told employees of the energy efficiency and renewable energies office to avoid using the words “climate change” in what seems to be the last incident in a repression of the American government’s climate crisis.
“Please make sure that each member of your team is aware that this is the last list of words to avoid – and continue to be conscientious to avoid any terminology you know to be ill -aligned on the prospects and priorities of the administration,” explains an e -mail of an acting director of the agency obtained by Politico.
Employees of the Energy efficiency and Renewable Energies Office, which is the largest funder for the government of carbon washing technology, was invited to avoid using the terms in internal transactions and public -oriented work.
In addition to “climate change”, prohibited terms include “decarbonization”, “sustainable”, “emissions” and “green”. Also on the list are “Energy Transition”, “Clean” or “Dirty” Energy “and” Carbon / CO2 “Footprint” “.
Another set of words to avoid: “tax reductions / tax credits”, probably due to the association of terms “with the efforts of Joe Biden to subsidize green technologies, which the administration repels.
“The prohibition of the use of these words would silence the key elements of the Doe mission,” said a member of the current staff of the current agency at the Guardian. “But what is even more worrying is that the Wright secretary is also illegally frozen and canceled programs that finance advanced research on solar energy, wind and other clean energy technologies. The leadership of the DOE can choose to stick the head in the sand, but which will not disappear the climate crisis or stop super storms and forest fires to destroy more houses.”
The Trump administration asked the agency leaders this year to avoid Some 200 terms – a list that also includes words like “activism” and “injustice”.
“Welcome to Donald Trump’s post-TRUTH world,” said Dr. Ali Khan, an American retired assistant surgeon and former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, on social media.
The press secretary of the Ministry of Energy denies that he asked employees to avoid the use of specific terms.
“There is no directive in the energy department which asks employees to avoid using sentences such as” climate change “or” programs “, said Ben Dietderich, agency’s press secretary, in a statement sent by e-mail.” President Trump and Secretary Wright remain attached to transparency and promote an open and honest dialogue. Commitment, the energy secretary Chris Wright regularly engages on these questions. ”
Wright took climate policy at the United Nations General Assembly last week.
“More people have put themselves in the so-called climate action, the more their energy has become expensive,” he told journalists. “This reduces the quality of life of people and reduces their life opportunities.”
He then defended a July climate report produced by the Energy Department which, according to experts, is riddled with disinformation and announces the cancellation of $ 13 billion in funding for renewable energy projects.
Recommendations are the Trump’s last attempt to minimize or silence discussions on the threats posed by the climate crisis. After returning to the White House in January, Trump has stripped of the government’s climate change and heating of government websites and ended a multitude of climate -oriented government programs.
In a speech to the United Nations last week, the president also described the crisis as “the greatest idiot and the greatest work ever perpetrated on the world”.
“The countries are on the verge of destruction due to the green energy program,” he said.
