On December 22nd, this blog carried the first disclosure that WI GOP Gov. Scott Walker's "chamber of commerce mentality" Department of Natural Resources, (see part five of a recent series about his redefining the agency, here), had again deleted from taxpayer-paid, public web pages wording and information about climate, climate change and its human causation.
This time, the scrubbing destroyed the integrity and value of the intentionally and ideologically beaten-down agency's key remaining climate change web page:
12/31/16 - - The futility of the DNR's behavior. Despite the scrubbing, climate science remains on DNR pages
12/31/16 - - Kids climate materials still available through DNR pages - - for now
12/30/16 - - On the DNR's climate change pages, all hail Gov. Doyle
(a 2012 reposting)
12/29/31 - - WI DNR scrubs online climate science, MN DNR goes all in
12/29/31 - - Expect further WI DNR scrubbing of climate change information
12/29/31 - - Wisconsin's censorship of climate change is clumsier than you thought
12/28/31 - - Media spreading word about WI environmental harm under Walker
12/28/31 - - About scrubbed WI climate change page, Snopes says "True"
12/28/31 - - Climate science deletion not Walkerites 1st such scrubbing
12/27/31 - - On climate, Jerry Brown, yes; Scott Walker, no
12/27/31 - - Walker's repetitive disrespect for environment, climate change reality
12/22-26/31 - - More Walkerite/Orwellian censorship of climate change from WI DNR web pages
12/15/31 - - Team Walker missed deleting a WI DNR climate change page
This time, the scrubbing destroyed the integrity and value of the intentionally and ideologically beaten-down agency's key remaining climate change web page:
More Walkerite/Orwellian censorship of climate change from DNR climate change web pagesDuring the following few days, I updated the page and posted twelve additional posts with related information. Below is the full archive, with the most recent first:
