“If You Don’t Say It, It Ain’t So” 0
From the Republican Department of If-You-Don’t-Talk-about-It-It-Will-Go-Away:
“We were told not to use the terms ‘climate change,’ ‘global warming’ or ‘sustainability,’ ” said Christopher Byrd, an attorney with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Office of General Counsel in Tallahassee from 2008 to 2013. “That message was communicated to me and my colleagues by our superiors.”
Management denies that there was a “policy,” which is I suspect is bureaucratese for “no one was stupid enough to put this in writing.”
