Trump transition team wants names of Energy Dept employees who support climate change

Posted by | December 9, 2016 15:03 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics

It’s frightening to think you go on a McCarthy-like list if you don’t agree with Trump.

The Trump transition team has asked for a list of Energy Department employees and contractors who attended United Nations climate meetings and worked on key Obama administration climate policies, including the social cost of carbon, according to a Bloomberg report.

The requests, detailed in a memo sent to the Energy Department by the Trump transition team, suggests that President-elect Trump is not backing down from his campaign promises to completely abandon the Obama administration’s approach to U.S. climate and energy policies, and instead adopt a policy that is much friendlier to fossil fuels and much more hostile to regulations that seek to curb greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.
