To my worthy and beloved adversary: As a former Texan, you might consider that "just standing there," as you advise, resulted in the failure of your state to regulate massive amounts of explosive materials stored without proper precautions or surveillance in the middle of communities, your "tort reform" rules essentially took away the rights of your poorer citizens to sue for damages, and much more.
If Texas is an example of what happens when people just sit around and "see" what happens, it is a powerful argument for organizing immediate street demonstrations instead. When I have to go to Texas to work, I first apply for a Visa.

Et al,
Us ol' re-tread Texans might say: Y'all might just wait awhile and see what happens. Let's as scientists and health & safety folk not go beserk over doomsayer's media and other bird droppings. In a long career, most of what is popular hype seems to be what an ol' time cowboy might find behind the southerrn end of a northbound bull.
I suggest a period of what we in medicine call "watchful waiting" before we go flying off the handle. I used to teach my medical students: "Don't just do something, stand there." The situation somestimes evolves out of what seems to be chaos (Chaos Theory for those who follow it). Sometimes, the best medicine is to do as much nothing as possible. I think I've cured moer folks by stopping medications than I ever cured by prescribing same.
According to my lovely wife: Patience is a virtue.

As a community, we vote in high %. Let's be active, speak up, support science, and let legislators know that we vote as much as any group.

And so it begins. The first one is disturbing because this is right up there with the climate change gag order we have previously seen in Florida-
"EPA Freezes Grants, Tells Employees Not To Talk About It, Sources Say": http://www.huffingtonpost.com/
And it gets worse: https://www.axios.com/
And finally, "CDC Cancels Conference on Climate Change and Health": http://www.nbcnews.com/health/
I don't care who the president or administration is - this isn=E2=80™t about them or who you voted for or against. It's about science and its role in setting government policy. We need to do what we can as a community to educate the public on the critical contributions of agencies like EPA, OSHA (that one should be even more fun-) etc. and that these need to be based on science, not a special interest agenda.
