Staff leaders at an Ohio agency removed the word 'climate' from a document outlining its work on a regional climate action plan.
State of play:
Some members of the board of directors will seek to restore original language to the NOACA Overall Work Program document, which staff recently amended to remove all direct references to climate action planning — even though that's what the document is intended to outline. The section of the document previously titled "Regional Climate Action Plan" is now titled "Local Emissions and Weather Resiliency Planning."Multiple sources told Axios that this watered-down language was a superficial attempt to appease the vocal right-wing fringe.
NOACA executive director Grace Gallucci, who did not respond to requests for comment, previously told Axios that it was important to engage all people in the region, "whether or not they support climate change action.""This is more about messaging than it is about actual substance," Dale Miller, Cuyahoga County Council's representative on the NOACA board, told Axios.
"Nevertheless I consider it ominous. It would send a very bad message if we didn't describe climate action planning in the same way that the entire civilized world has been describing it for the past couple of decades."Axios on facebook
