Trump to scrap Nasa climate research in crackdown on ‘politicized science’
The UK Guardian via MSN ^ | Nov. 23, 2016 | Oliver Milman, The UK Guardian

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”.

See, those who were panicking over Trump’s mild comments about global warming to the NYT were needlessly blowing things way out of proportion.

I hope not.

That crap is a dead end waste of money, lives, and resources.

Earth is the only habitable planet in the universe.

We have many better things to do with our resources.

Emphasize ‘MANNED’ space exploration and NOT having to rely on RUSSIA TO LAUNCH OUR ASTRONAUTS.

Looking at the Earth from space is stupid because we can see it right from here.

How do you know this?

Earth is the purpose for the universe.

Instead of evading the question, why not answer it?

You don’t answer a question with a question. That’s evasive and a deception. Why not answer the question?

How do you know earth is the only habitable planet where life forms might exist.

FINALLY. The politicized science bust our chops on taxes and then robs the businesses that have to pay into the extortion scheme to operate. No wonder everything is so high. I remember when rubber increased around 33% because of the Manchuran Candidate’s policies alone in anticipation of this crap as told to me by a tire shop owner quite some time back.
