Energy Dept. adds 'climate change' and 'emissions' to banned words list (politico.com)

> "avoiding any terminology that you know to be misaligned with the Administration’s perspectives and priorities"

So ... Misalignment With The Admin .. is this creepy turn of phrase indicative of the problem?

EG strict authoritarian ideology, and its well-known fallacies & failings?

Banning discussion of emissions instead of banning the actual emissions is some real banana republic shit.

This isn't a surprise or even a big deal by itself. Every significantly large, politically-captured organization has its own messaging mandates including preferred, discouraged, and forbidden word/phrases lists.

All this does is underscore this regime's subservience to big coal and oil and against addressing long-term, increasing existential threats to property, the economy, lives, and the planet.
