Energy Dept. Defends Obama’s Climate Action Plan By Firing Honest Scientist
Department of Energy (DOE) officials withheld information from Congress to advance President Barack Obama’s Climate Action Plan and fired an employee who honestly and thoroughly answered legislative staff’s questions, a congressional committee investigation found.

<snip>

The October 2014 briefing regarded DOE’s Low Dose Radiation Research Program (LDRRP), which studies how small radiation exposures effect humans. Its research assists in the medical field and plays a role in forming evacuation plans in the event a terrorist detonates a radioactive dirty bomb.

The briefing was intended to help lawmakers make an informed decision about pending legislation that would codify the LDRRP program in statute and require a report concerning low-dose radiation’s effects.

But DOE management opposed the legislation — instead preferring to close the program to focus on Obama’s Climate Action Plan — and used the opportunity to lobby against the bill, according to the science committee’s report. That decision allegedly violates the Anti-Lobbying Act.

U.S. Department of Energy Misconduct
Related to the Low Dose Radiation Research Program
December 20, 2016

In October 2015, staff of the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology (“Committee staff”) learned that DOE Management (“Management” or “senior officials”)
removed Dr. Metting from federal service for allegedly providing too much information in response to questions posed by Committee staff during the October 2014 briefing. Eventually, Committee staff learned that Management’s actions to remove Dr. Metting were, in part,
retaliation against Dr. Metting because she refused to conform to the predetermined remarks and talking points designed by Management to undermine the advancement of H.R. 5544. After learning this disturbing information, the Committee launched a full investigation. As part of its investigation, the Committee received document productions from the DOE, conducted transcribed interviews, and a held a public hearing. Emails produced to the Committee by the DOE show a sequence of events leading to a premeditated scheme by senior DOE employees “to squash the prospects of Senate support” for H.R. 5544 and the LDRRP.8 Moreover, the Committee has learned that one of DOE’s stated purposes for Dr. Metting’s removal from federal service was her failure to confine the discussion at the briefing to pre-approved talking points. 9

The Committee has also established that DOE
management, including Dr. Weatherwax, Dr. Anderson, and Dr. Carruthers failed to exercise even a minimal standard of care to avoid chilling other agency scientists as a result of the retaliation against Dr. Metting for her refusal to censor information from Congress. The
Committee concludes that the DOE placed its own priorities to further the President’s Climate Action Plan before its Constitutional obligations to be candid with Congress. The DOE’s actions constitute a reckless and calculated attack on the legislative process itself, which undermines the power of Congress to legislate. The Committee further concludes that DOE’s disregard for
separation of powers is not limited to a small group of employees, but rather is an institutional problem that must be corrected by overhauling its management practices with respect to its relationship with the Congress.

Re: Energy Dept. Defends Obama’s Climate Action Plan By Firing Honest Scientist
House GOP alleges misconduct, intimidation at Energy Department

The program was launched in the 1990s to study the biological effects, including potential cancer, of exposure to low-dose radiation, such as from nuclear accidents.

The Obama administration has sought to wind it down after researchers found that no dose of radiation was small enough to eliminate the risk of cancer. At the same time, the administration has been increasing resources for programs in the same office studying alternative energy sources.

The Science Committee launched its probe earlier this year after learning that Noelle Metting, a biologist working on the radiation program, was fired.

She participated in an October 2014 briefing to Congress on the program, which the committee report said was an attempt by DOE leaders to lobby against the program and the bill to save it.

Re: Energy Dept. Defends Obama’s Climate Action Plan By Firing Honest Scientist
Article from 2015 about the proposed bill to fund Low Dose Radiation research:

U.S. lawmakers looking to intensify DOE’s low-dose radiation research

Exposure to very low levels of ionizing radiation is common—medical procedures, air travel, and industrial processes expose people to such radiation every day. But the health implications of these very low doses are not well understood. A bipartisan bill passed 7 January by the U.S. House of Representatives seeks to alter that landscape by revitalizing an existing Department of Energy (DOE) low-dose radiation research program.

The bill—motivated in part by concerns raised by the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan—calls for a study by the National Academies and would require DOE to produce a 5-year research plan. But it doesn’t provide any new funding, and so far the bill doesn’t have a champion in the Senate, which will also to have to pass the legislation in order for it to become law.

Almost all climatology studies are government funded.

In order to keep the gravy coming in the scientists need to justify their jobs with data. Its a self serving cycle of bullshit.

The more global warming there is purported to be, and the more problematic it is hyped up to be....the more scientists they will hire to "combat" the problem.
