As an obedient servant of of the Koch Brothers Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is on a mission to banish modern climate science from his state’s government. So the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources scrupulously scrubbed any mention of "Climate Change" from it’s website, and in good Stalinist/G.O.P. fashion replaced it with deceptive bureaucratic doubletalk.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources recently scrubbed language from an agency web page on the Great Lakes that said humans and greenhouse gases are the main cause of climate change.
The DNR now says the subject is a matter of scientific debate.
The department made the changes on Dec. 21, striking out whole sentences attributing global warming to human activities and rising levels of carbon dioxide.
More broadly, the changes reflect how the administration of Republican Gov. Scott Walker has de-emphasized the subject since he took office in 2011.
In the latest changes, the DNR says of climate change, “as it has done throughout the centuries, the earth is going through a change. The reasons for this change at this particular time in the earth’s long history are being debated and researched by academic entities outside the Department of Natural Resources.”
