• White House officials blocked testimony from a State Department intelligence agency on climate change being “possibly catastrophic.” We deserve #ScienceNotSilence on the climate crisis. https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2019/06/08/white-house-blocked-intelligence-aides-written-testimony-saying-human-caused-climate-change-could-be-possibly-catastrophic/?utm_term=.6989ec8d7583
• We are facing a climate crisis, but the White House is silencing State Department officials who are trying to shed light on the “possibly catastrophic” effects of climate change. #ScienceNotSilence https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2019/06/08/white-house-blocked-intelligence-aides-written-testimony-saying-human-caused-climate-change-could-be-possibly-catastrophic/?utm_term=.6989ec8d7583
• The Trump administration silencing testimony on climate change “is an intentional failure of the White House to perform a core duty: inform the American public of the threats we face.” - Francesco Femia of @CntrClimSec #ClimateSecurity #ScienceNotSilence https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2019/06/08/white-house-blocked-intelligence-aides-written-testimony-saying-human-caused-climate-change-could-be-possibly-catastrophic/?utm_term=.6989ec8d7583
• Intelligence officials agree: #ClimateSecurity is national security. White House officials’ reckless decision to block State Department testimony on the climate crisis is unacceptable. https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2019/06/08/white-house-blocked-intelligence-aides-written-testimony-saying-human-caused-climate-change-could-be-possibly-catastrophic/?utm_term=.6989ec8d7583
