On the heels of a new report from Government Accountability Office (GAO) noting that climate change is costing the federal government billions, the EPA this week canceled speeches by three agency scientists, who were scheduled to discuss climate change at a conference in Providence, Rhode Island.
Speeches by research ecologist Autumn Oczkowski and postdoctoral fellow Rose Martin, who work in the EPA’s National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory Atlantic Ecology Division in Rhode Island and EPA consultant Emily Shumchenia were canceled by the agency with no explanation.
