The Interior Department posted a revised scientific integrity policy last month. It requires each component agency to appoint a career staff person as scientific integrity officer. But to one group of scientists, the policy differs little from protections that were greatly weakened during the Obama administration.

How often have you heard the complaint that the first thing cut when budgets aren't right is training? At the National Park Service, that seems to be the case, according to Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). The group called the agency's moves a stealth downgrade. PEER Executive Director Jeff Ruch joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin for the details.

Today on Sojourner Truth: Environmental damage caused by the government shutdown. Experts are saying in some instances, it will take the environment 300 years to recover. Our weekly Earth Watch guest is Jeff Ruch, Executive Director of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). The Democratic Party is pushing out Kamala Harris " a Black woman, two-term U.S. Senator " as a lead candidate in the run for President. Prior to being in the Senate, Harris was the Attorney General of California, where she ran afoul of the Black Lives Matter movement for her position on withholding support for special investigations in police shootings. As Senator, she has sided with the Zionist lobby and against Palestinian interests. We speak with Stephen Zunes, professor of politics and coordinator of Middle Eastern Studies at the University of San Francisco. What is going on with Brexit? What is it and why is it splitting public opinion and legislators in the U.K.? We speak with U.K.-based Sam Weinstein, with Payday Men's Network, who volunteers with Momentum, a grassroots movement outside of Britain's Labour Party, but supports Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn. Also, the latest on the U.S.-backed attempted coup in Venezuela. We speak with journalist Paul Dobson, who is on the ground in Venezuela.

Thank you for listening to the Audible Café podcast. With our public employees enduring the fifth week of their forced furlough during a government shutdown resulting from the actions of a despotic and vindictive President Trump, this interview — and my interview with Kyla Bennett from PEER last week — couldn’t be more timely. In today’s episode, I am sharing my interview with Jeff Ruch, Executive Director of PEER - Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility. PEER is a watchdog of our public environmental agencies, and works extensively to empower public employees so that they are literally peers within their agencies, with a seat at the table that respects and relies on their knowledge and expertise to set and enforce policy, and honors their years of service and dedication. This honoring of our nation’s environmental laws and policies and employees is sorely missing, to say the least, under the Trump administration. Which means that PEER has been receiving many, many calls from deeply concerned and disenfranchised public employees. Jeff has been the Executive Director of PEER since 1997. He helped to start PEER and for the first four years served as General Counsel & Program Director for the organization. Prior to founding PEER, Jeff was the Policy Director and a staff attorney at the Government Accountability Project, representing whistleblowers from both the public and private sector. Before coming to DC, Jeff worked in California state government for 17 years, mostly in the State Legislature as counsel to various committees where he drafted literally hundreds of laws on topics ranging from energy conservation to the rights of employed inventors. We’re grateful to Jeff for taking the time to talk with us. And we’re especially grateful to him for his years of devotion to the people who serve our country as public employees in environmental agencies. Protecting the protectors - it is not an easy job. But these public servants do not deserve to be disrespected, harassed, and harmed by abusive government practices. And neither do the great diversity of species who live all across our nation — whether in public parks or on other lands — who literally depend on our environmental agencies for their lives. So please, after you listen to the show, visit PEER’s website, learn about the campaigns they are working on, and support them. Our public agencies are responsible for ensuring that the lands and waters and living beings in their care are protected and allowed to flourish. Public employees hold the future of our nation in their hands. Let’s not let dictatorial, corporate-funded politicians keep them from doing their jobs! Thank you for listening.

Note: During this interview, Jeff Ruch describes the censorship and bureaucratic and legal punishment of a government scientist, Dr. Charles Monnett, who was one of the first to report polar bear mortality as a result of drowning — a deeply sad result of melting ice flows due to climate change. The images associated with this phenomenon are terribly disturbing and yet have served to bring the shocking truth of climate change before the public eye in a way climate change reports cannot. At one point in our discussion, the deceased polar bears are referred to as “floaters,” not in any negative way at all. I considered editing that descriptor out of the interview because it upset me, but then stopped myself. The importance of the scientist’s work— and especially the resulting media storm that ensued when he reported it appropriately in an “observational note” in a scientific paper and Al Gore picked up on the story and put it his book “An Inconvenient Truth” — brought important attention to the plight of these majestic creatures. I decided that I can’t let my personal, emotional reaction to a word outweigh my goal of staying true to... truth. At Audible Café, we strive to uphold the values of free and independent journalism. I hope you will agree this is more important than softening the blow of human destruction of the earth and its creatures. We must all face this truth, and act now to address it.

Today, my guest is Kyla Bennett. Kyla is the New England Director and the Director of Science Policy for PEER, which stands for Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility. PEER’s purpose is to protect public employees who protect our environment. And what could be more needed, today, than this? Kyla previously worked at EPA Region 1 (New England) for 10 years as a wetland permit reviewer and as the Region's Wetlands Enforcement Coordinator. Kyla first became involved with PEER in the mid 1990s, when she became a whistleblower herself. Kyla has a Ph.D. in ecology from the University of Connecticut and a law degree from Lewis and Clark Law School in Portland, Oregon. Her familiarity with science, the law, and the inner workings of state and federal governmental agencies enables her to assist public environmental employees throughout New England. Thanks again to Kyla Bennet of PEER for taking the time to share her passion for environmental protection, and the inspiring work she does every day to help public employees do the important work they wish to do. Please visit their website at peer.org to learn more about the campaigns they are working on, sign up for their newsletter, and donate if you are inclined. NEXT TIME on Audible Cafe, we talk with Jeff Ruch, who is the outgoing Executive Director at PEER and who was one of the people who founded PEER in 1997. He is another fascinating person with a long and illustrious career in environmental protection, and you won’t want to miss that show. Thank you so much for listening!

Early on in the Trump administration, the White House proposed trimming away excess or unneeded regulation. It sought public input and claimed to have received 100,000 comments. Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, or PEER, a watchdog group tried to find out what happened to the comments. Apparently they went into the ether. PEER Executive Director Jeff Ruch talked about the vanished public feedback on Federal Drive with Tom Temin.

With so much uncertainty around the new Trump Administration's environmental priorities, especially its energy and climate policies, this episode is dedicated to trying to answer some of the biggest questions. We welcome three guests: firstly, Harvard professor, climate historian, and noted author Naomi Oreskes talks about what stories she’s worried will get lost in the media’s hyperfocus on the chaos surrounding the new Trump Administration, and she makes an evidence-based case for why scientists should be speaking out about their work in public. Then Bobby Magill joins us, he's a senior science writer for Climate Central and the president of the Society of Environmental Journalists, which recently released a special report entitled “Turbulent Prospects on Environment-Energy Beat Likely in Trump Era.” Finally, Jeff Ruch, executive director of the non-profit service organization Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility shares what he’s hearing from employees of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency about their concerns with the Trump Administration’s environmental policies.

Facing down an assured loss in a week, Trump is still picking up support from fellow Republicans--even those who claimed they’d never support the troublesome real estate mogul.Also, a shock verdict in the trial of the Bundy boys, as the occupants of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge are found not guilty, in a federal trial. Jeff Ruch, from Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility comes on to discuss the case.And, Hillary Clinton has finally weighed in on the ongoing protests against the constriction of the Dakota Access Pipeline. And environmentalists are disappointed. That story in a sludge report later.
