EPA Muzzles Scientists


The Trump administration barred three government scientists from presenting climate change research at a conference in Rhode Island this week. Three respected EPA scientists, one of them scheduled to give the keynote address, were pulled at the last minute without any reason being given. This blatant censorship is an attack on scientific independence and objectivity.

Action:

1. Contact Scott Pruitt of the EPA to strongly protest this disgraceful stifling of scientific inquiry and discussion: Pruitt.scott@Epa.gov. If you like, you can copy Oczkowski on the email.

2. Contact Autumn Oczkowski, the EPA scientist who was scheduled to be the keynote speaker, and express your solidarity with her efforts to share her research and your shock that she was prevented from speaking: Oczkowski.autumn@Epa.gov. If you like, you can copy Pruitt on the email.

3. If you have Twitter, tweet to the EPA: http://twitter.com/EPA
