body-paragraph">Global warming - "it's a hoax."</p><p class="default__StyledText-sc-1wxyvyl-0 fxgoSg body-paragraph">Donald Trump has said that more than once.</p><div id="inline_cube_90625_wrapper" class="ad_wrapper" style="min-height:50px"><div class="ad_container width_100 bg-color_white flex flex_justify_center " style="min-height:50px"><div class="flex_basis"><div class="text_center ad-label font_normal font_open-sans color_grey_6 transform_uppercase">Advertisement</div></div></div></div><p class="default__StyledText-sc-1wxyvyl-0 fxgoSg body-paragraph">So it's understandable that the request by the president-elect's transition team for the names of individual Energy Department employees and contractors who worked on the issue makes them worry that the trick could be on them.</p><p class="default__StyledText-sc-1wxyvyl-0 fxgoSg body-paragraph">"There is major concern amongst my members," said Jeff Eagan, president of the National Treasury Employees Union chapter at the department's headquarters building in Washington. He's also a 17-year Energy employee, but was speaking in his union capacity. "I have received lots of calls, emails, messages expressing shock and dismay."</p><div id="inline_cube_90626_wrapper" class="ad_wrapper" style="min-height:50px"><div class="ad_container width_100 bg-color_white flex flex_justify_center " style="min-height:50px"><div class="flex_basis"><div class="text_center ad-label font_normal font_open-sans color_grey_6 transform_uppercase">Advertisement</div></div></div></div><p class="default__StyledText-sc-1wxyvyl-0 fxgoSg body-paragraph">The scientists and their colleagues at Energy know global warming is real. What they don't know is what Trump might do to those whose work has been in line with the science and the Obama administration, which has spoken about "the urgent imperatives of climate change."</p><p class="default__StyledText-sc-1wxyvyl-0 fxgoSg body-paragraph">Perhaps Trump's crew will do nothing. Trump more recently has said he has an open mind about global warming, so maybe he's discarding his flat-earth approach to the subject. Nonetheless, the transition team's request to "provide a list of all Department of Energy employees or contractors who have attended" certain climate change meetings casts a shroud of apprehension over the workforce. The transition team ignored a request for comment.</p><div id="outstream_44351_wrapper" class="ad_wrapper" style="min-height:50px"><div class="ad_container width_100 bg-color_white flex flex_justify_center display-none" style="min-height:50px"><div class="flex_basis"></div></div></div><p class="default__StyledText-sc-1wxyvyl-0 fxgoSg body-paragraph">Given civil service protections, it's not likely department employees would be fired for working on climate change. There is good reason for concern, however. Trump advisers have urged him to fire feds faster and Energy staffers know protections for senior executives at the Department of Veterans Affairs have been weakened. But firing isn't the only way to punish people.</p><p class="default__StyledText-sc-1wxyvyl-0 fxgoSg body-paragraph">"A greater concern would be that selected employees could be marginalized, i.e., ignored, by new leadership at the Department solely based on unfounded conjecture that those employees cannot be trusted by the new political team," said John Palguta, a civil service expert with decades of federal government experience. "The consequences for contract employees could be greater if a future decision not to renew a contract is influenced by the same unsupported speculation."</p><div id="nativo_736304" class="trb_ar_nt_m"></div><p class="default__StyledText-sc-1wxyvyl-0 fxgoSg body-paragraph">On the question of providing names, Energy officials resolutely rejected the request, while reassuring workers.</p><p class="default__StyledText-sc-1wxyvyl-0 fxgoSg body-paragraph">"The Department of Energy received significant feedback from our workforce throughout the department, including the National Labs, following the release of the transition team's questions. Some of the questions asked left many in our workforce unsettled," said Eben Burnham-Snyder, a department spokesman. "Our career workforce, including our contractors and employees at our labs, comprise the backbone of DOE (Department of Energy) and the important work our department does to benefit the American people. We are going to respect the professional and scientific integrity and independence of our employees at our labs and across our department.</p><div id="outstream_44352_wrapper" class="ad_wrapper" style="min-height:50px"><div class="ad_container width_100 bg-color_white flex flex_justify_center display-none" style="min-height:50px"><div class="flex_basis"></div></div></div><p class="default__StyledText-sc-1wxyvyl-0 fxgoSg body-paragraph">"We will be forthcoming with all publically-available information with the transition team. We will not be providing any individual names to the transition team." Burnham-Snyder's email had the last sentence in boldface for emphasis.</p><p class="default__StyledText-sc-1wxyvyl-0 fxgoSg body-paragraph">That's the response members of Congress, who were outraged by Trump's request, wanted.</p><div id="inline_cube_90627_wrapper" class="ad_wrapper" style="min-height:50px"><div class="ad_container width_100 bg-color_white flex flex_justify_center " style="min-height:50px"><div class="flex_basis"><div class="text_center ad-label font_normal font_open-sans color_grey_6 transform_uppercase">Advertisement</div></div></div></div><p class="default__StyledText-sc-1wxyvyl-0 fxgoSg body-paragraph">"I am alarmed by the questionnaire sent by the Trump transition team to the Department of Energy seeking the names of career civil servants who have worked on climate change policy," said Rep. Steny H. Hoyer, Md., the second ranking Democrat in the House. "This raises serious concerns as to the motivation of such a request and raises questions of possible retribution for following President Obama's policies."</p><p class="default__StyledText-sc-1wxyvyl-0 fxgoSg body-paragraph">"This looks like a scare tactic to intimidate federal employees who are simply doing their jobs and following the facts," added Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, Md., the top Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. "I am sure there are a lot of career scientists and others who see this as a terrible message of fear and intimidation -- 'either ignore the science or we will come after you.'" Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, did not respond to a request for comment.</p><p class="default__StyledText-sc-1wxyvyl-0 fxgoSg body-paragraph">Trump's request surprised employee leaders.</p><p class="default__StyledText-sc-1wxyvyl-0 fxgoSg body-paragraph">NTEU President Tony Reardon said his Energy Department members were "stunned" by the transition team request.</p><p class="default__StyledText-sc-1wxyvyl-0 fxgoSg body-paragraph">American Federation of Government Employees President J. David Cox Sr., who also represents Energy employees, warned against "a return to the political witch hunts of the 1950s. President-elect Trump must instruct his transition team to cease this profoundly anti-democratic behavior immediately."</p><p class="default__StyledText-sc-1wxyvyl-0 fxgoSg body-paragraph">Senior Executives Association President Bill Valdez said the questionnaire only increases the nervousness and apprehension that comes with any change of administrations.</p><div id="inline_cube_90628_wrapper" class="ad_wrapper" style="min-height:50px"><div class="ad_container width_100 bg-color_white flex flex_justify_center " style="min-height:50px"><div class="flex_basis"><div class="text_center ad-label font_normal font_open-sans color_grey_6 transform_uppercase">Advertisement</div></div></div></div><p class="default__StyledText-sc-1wxyvyl-0 fxgoSg body-paragraph">"I can't recall that I've ever seen anything like this," said Valdez, who worked at Energy for 20 years.
