WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Markey said he has already seen troubling incidents of the Trump administration engaging in potential scientific interference or suppression since the transition period after the 2016 presidential election.
"As your administration reviews the draft [report], I urge you to ensure that there is no interference with any science or any scientific conclusions included in the report as it is finalized," Markey stated. "We must ensure that our federal agencies do not stifle the science of climate change or the scientists who are working on it."
The New York Times reported earlier this week that scientists from 13 agencies had sent a draft of a climate change report, which goes against Trump's skeptical policy on global warming.
