USDA Internal Watchdog To Probe Allegedly Buried Climate Change Reports [1]
"The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) inspector general is launching a probe into whether the agency withheld reports on climate change.
The inspection follows a September report from Democrats that found more than 1,400 USDA climate studies the administration "largely failed to publicize" on climate research.
“Our objective is to determine whether any changes in policy and/or processes impacted the release of scientific reports, documents, and/or communication of USDA research,” the Office of the Inspector General wrote in a letter to Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-Maine) released Tuesday."
