And so it begins.  The first one is disturbing because this is right up there with the climate change gag order we have previously seen in Florida-


"EPA Freezes Grants, Tells Employees Not To Talk About It, Sources Say": http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/environmental-protection-grants-staff_us_5886825be4b0e3a7356b575f?pon75akll8ei5dn29&

And it gets worse: https://www.axios.com/trumpworld-prepares-to-hammer-the-epa-2209021483.html  "...The document goes on to recommend what can be done to "improve the use of science by EPA... EPA should not be funding scientific research-"  I guess that makes it easier to use alternate facts.

And finally, "CDC Cancels Conference on Climate Change and Health": http://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/cdc-cancels-conference-climate-change-health-n711076

I don't care who the president or administration is - this isn't about them or who you voted for or against. It's about science and its role in setting government policy.  We need to do what we can as a community to educate the public on the critical contributions of agencies like EPA, OSHA (that one should be even more fun-) etc. and that these need to be based on science, not a special interest agenda.
