OMB Director Mulvaney: Climate Change Research ‘A Waste of Your Money’

Thursday at the White House press briefing while answering questions about President Donald Trump’s “America First Budget,” Office of Management and Budget director Mick Mulvaney called climate change research “a waste of your money” regarding proposed cuts in that area.

“Again, this comes back to the President’s business person view of government, which is if you took over this as a CEO and you look at this on a spreadsheet, and you go, ‘Why do we have all of these facilities? Why do we have seven when we can do the same job with three? Won’t that save money?'” he continued. “The answer is yes. So the part of your answer is focusing on efficiencies and focusing on doing what we do better. As to climate change, I think the President was fairly straightforward saying we’re not spending money on that anymore. We consider that to be a waste of your money to go out and do that. So that is a specific tie to his campaign.”

NASA is spending as much money on “global warming” as they are on space exploration.

It is way off-mission.

Fire the climate scientists and replace them with rocket scientists.

We had needed to train a team of moon-bats to populate the first lunar colony, but now it’s a buyer’s market.

Right on! Better a CEO responsible to his shareholders and the bottom line than a community agitator who squanders other people’s money for no reason and no end.

He’s exactly right. Since “the science is settled,” further research is a waste of money.

I thought BHO had NASA working on Muslim outreach.

Now we can move on to having high school kids doing climate change lab experiments just like they do with measuring the acceleration due to gravity.

They just need a copy of the CD/DVD with the data set and climate model on it. Should be cheap.

There is at least one climate model you can get for free online. I used it myself.

I know him well and worked with his kids quite a bit. He’s a good guy, and understands something the DC parasites don’t: it’s our money paying for all their pet programs, and that money should go back to us as much as possible.

Now this is great news. We’ve been hearing a lot about Trump team members believing in AGW so this is very reassuring.

i hope, along with OMB Director, Mick Mulvaney, that Secretary of Commerce, Wilbur Ross, is looking into the budgets of NOAA’s Climate.gov office where their supposed climate scientists [aka NWS meteorologists] manipulated weather data in order to support Obama’s spurious claim to anthropogenic global warming by CO2 just before Obama traveled to Paris for last year’s Climate Change Conference?

Warmunistas should look in the CIA warehouse with The Ark to see if thst isn’t where Global Warming is also stored.
