Donald Trump is poised to eliminate all climate change research conducted by Nasa as part of a crackdown on “politicized science”, his senior adviser on issues relating to the space agency has said.
Nasa’s Earth science division is set to be stripped of funding in favor of exploration of deep space, with the president-elect having set a goal during the campaign to explore the entire solar system by the end of the century.

This would mean the elimination of Nasa’s world-renowned research into temperature, ice, clouds and other climate phenomena. Nasa’s network of satellites provide a wealth of information on climate change, with the Earth science division’s budget set to grow to $2bn next year. By comparison, space exploration has been scaled back somewhat, with a proposed budget of $2.8bn in 2017.
Bob Walker, a senior Trump campaign adviser, said there was no need for Nasa to do what he has previously described as “politically correct environmental monitoring”.

You’re playing a semantic game for the benefit of the gullible and ignorant among us.
Yehova’s abode is not in any part of space-time.
Yeshua told Nicodemus that in John chapter 3.
.
And when Jules Verne wrote his novels people couldn’t think subs or air and space travel would be a ‘fact’.
Thanks for reminding me. Holiday telephone calls.
The purchase and expedition were authorized by President Jefferson, Jefferson and Madison two people that I hypothetically wouldn't question why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I.
Jefferson evidently justified the purchase and expedition partly under the POTUS power to negotiate treaties and Congress’s Commerce Clause powers.

Did you courtesy ping Yehova?
He may not be aware of the importance of Jules Verne to this matter.
That’s not the complete story, what was driving the work was DOD needs based on requirements from WWII. These needs became even more apparent with the Cold War. WWII showed the importance of radar technology. That eras tube based circuits didn’t switch fast enough to meet the growing technical needs for advanced radars. Solid state diodes were being looked at, at both Bell Labs & at Purdue University. Purdue produced the best quality germanium so Shockley started using that material. So DOD needs started the initial effort and I include space research (NASA) in that category. They were one in the same in the beginning.
The real story is integrated circuit technology otherwise computing devices would be huge unwieldy & too hot to touch. The first proposal of such technology was by a British radar engineer from their MOD at I believe some NATO Conference in the early 1950s. There was an American engineer at the conference named Kilby who got a US Army. (I think it was administered from Harry Diamond Labs in Adelphia, MD.) Kilby later went to TI and got an Air Force contract to take it further. Then Robert Noyce developed his ideas at Fairchild but used silicon and the rest is history.
Yes telecom is the driver now but that certainly wasn’t true in the beginning.
.
The first integrated circuits definitely were switches for the telecom industry.

They were the first commercial customer.
Do you have God inner workings... I believe there’s intelligent life on other planets — maybe it’s my Trekkie feelings or my seeing a UFO.
GOOD!!! All they need to know about “climate”, is NEVER launch a rocket into a thunderstorm! ;) AND, CAN the “Muslim outreach” !!!!!
NASA satellites don't collect or produce models.
.
Satellite data are analysed based on models, whether you realize it or not.

I have the word of Yehova; why don’t you?
.
I think he wrote it on a rock tablet...
he did... then he destroyed it because his followers were worshipping the wrong god at the time... and to make sure that they would never be able to claim bragging rights on his truth...
.
>> “ rock tablet” <<
Is your head flat??
.
Is this really true? Bless you Donald!
My son believes it and so do I. My son (CT) knows I’ve seen an UFO. The Bible was written by humans and they didn’t know about the Americas...
.
Enjoy your future; its going to be “interesting.”
.
IIRC Jehovah is another word for God... I’m not a Bible scholar, but when the Bible was written, airplanes, computers and rockets were not around...
Science is not Bible based...
Really, e-s are you a liberal. Why not give us proof there no intelligent life in the universe. As a amateur astronomer, I believe we are not alone. I’ve seen an UFO in 1994 and I’m a Trekkie.
