Canada bans government meteorologists from talking about climate change
- Meteorologists with the Canadian government aren't allowed to speak publicly about climate change
- A spokesperson said the policy is because meteorologists are not climate experts
- Other federal scientists must seek permission to speak to media
- The measures are part of Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Communication Protocol
- Critics say Harper is trying to muzzle experts
- The federal Environment Canada agency says there has been an 80 per cent reduction in media coverage of climate change in Canada
- A study by the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada reports that 90 per cent of federal scientists feel they are not allowed to speak freely about their work
- Eighty-six per cent feel they would face censure for doing so - even if it was for the benefit of the public
