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”.

Obviously you are totally ignorant of Yehova’s word.
The purpose of a FR thread is not to give you the 20 years of education that you lack. That is your job.
.
Sell the satellites to some commercial outfit, and concentrate on space exploration.
Holy carp! The Moonbats are going to go bat-shi’ite!
That’s what I want from Trump
Good.
In this revolution, research has become central, it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the Federal government.Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been overshadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.
The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present – and is gravely to be regarded.
Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.
And those last two points have been a continuing positive feedback loop for climate change. The feds pay for research which "proves" climate change which is used to drive more federal funding.
That’s OK, I’m used to you making baseless comments without thought. You should really think prior to making such primitive ignorant comments.
Trump isn’t personally a scientist, and yet, I’d think that he recognizes monomania when he sees it. Why are these chaps looking into exactly one theory and no more? It’s an echo chamber tuned on the Federal end.
Another approach might be to instruct NASA to look into multiple theories, but that’s probably almost as distasteful to Donald and his science advisors.
‘politicized science’ or would ‘pseudo-scientized politics’ be more precise?
That ‘crap’ led to the development of literally thousands of technological innovations we use every day. The best benefit of space exploration is invention.

Following the word of Yehova is not “baseless.”
Being an ignorant, gullible bubble head like you is.
.
Following what your ego FANCIES is “the word of ‘Yehova’” is, I greatly hate to say, baseless.
.
Actually, no that is not so.
The telecom industry is the source of all of our present useful technology.
Only the aerospace industry has benefited from the space program.
Hurray!
Remember how we used to wake up every morning during Obama’s reign wondering where he was going to kick us that day?
Those days are over!!!!!!!!!! Well, he might kick us a few more times before he goes. But they’re over, essentially.
YEA!
If you’re gonna lie, make um big!

I answered your stupid question, but you may be too cognitively limited to understand that.
The word makes it plain that there is no other place where biological life can or does propagate.
And we get a great dose of WIN
Great appointments
Great policy announcements
Great Thanksgiving speech to the American People.

Earth is the purpose for the universe. That is what the word of Yehova tells us.//
Chapter and verse? We all know you have a penchant for taking verses out of context.
The Bible does mention worlds plural. Just because they are not populated does not mean they are not inhabitable.
This is an act of violence!
Snowflakes will melt!
Who will save them from Climate Change!
KKKALTRIGHTVIOLENNNNNCCCCSSSSSEEE!
