In a grim move that will be remembered by dead historians in the future as the beginning of the end for the human race, Energy Secretary Rick Perry banned the use of the phrase “climate change.” Some say that he literally has a “visceral reaction” when the words are said, so they had to go!!

Watch below:







We’re all gonna die in a gigantic climate conflagration while Rick Perry shoots snakes on his morning jog, laughing maniacally in his hipster glasses.

From Politico:

A supervisor at the Energy Department’s international climate office told staff this week not to use the phrases “climate change,” “emissions reduction” or “Paris Agreement” in written memos, briefings or other written communication, sources have told POLITICO. Employees of DOE’s Office of International Climate and Clean Energy learned of the ban at a meeting Tuesday, the same day President Donald Trump signed an executive order at EPA headquarters to reverse most of former President Barack Obama’s climate regulatory initiatives. Officials at the State Department and in other DOE offices said they had not been given a banned words list, but they had started avoiding climate-related terms in their memos and briefings given the new administration’s direction on climate change.

The department denied there was any ban while another official said that it was more of general understanding to avoid such words.

Someone should tell General Mattis.
