The U.S. Senate passed legislation recently cutting funding for NASA’s global warming research.

The House is expected to pass the bill, and President Trump will likely sign it. Supporters say it “re-balances” NASA’s budget back toward space exploration and away from global warming and earth science research. Republicans plan to end the more than $2 billion NASA spends on its Earth Science Mission Directorate.

“By rebalancing, I’d like for more funds to go into space exploration; we’re not going to zero out earth sciences,” Texas Republican Rep. Lamar Smith, who chairs the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology, told E&E News. “I’d like for us to remember what our priorities are, and there are another dozen agencies that study earth science and climate change, and they can continue to do

Ping.

announce new government grants for research the disproves the theory of man made global warming...

and then watch as the “science” isn’t settled anymore.

Zero is the only acceptable number.. How about getting rid of NOAAs fully automatic weapons along with the IRS.. unless of course these weapons arm pointed at Russian bases in Syria.

NASA is supposed to build rockets and explore space, not pander to Muslims and create bogus globull warming narratives.

Does this mean that NASA won’t be helping to establish an interstellar caliphate?

[simpson96]

"Slashes"???

ELIMINATE it.

Texas Republican Rep. Lamar Smith, who chairs the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology, told E&E News. “I’d like for us to remember what our priorities are, and there are another dozen agencies that study earth science and climate change, and they can continue to do...but at reduced budgets.

we’re not going to zero out earth sciences,” Texas Republican Rep. Lamar Smith,

NO. zero it out. do you think the Apollo engineers worried about polar bears while trying to get a man on the moon??

“That’s one small step for TRUMP. One giant leap for WINNING.”

I recommend this youtube on Mars Direct and its mission to put some sense into the NASA budget. Very well done, with the history of the Mars Society, and the nuts and bolts of getting there inexpensively, efficiently and quickly:

It should be $1 so Trump can say he continued funding GW research. Let the scienstitutes at NASA fight over who gets the buck.

LOL! NASA subcontracts rocket building and oversees the project.

Slashing is good. Eliminating is better.

” we’re not going to zero out earth sciences,”

No, of course not- got to keep the lie alive-

How about we pour money into science that PROVES that there is no way man could possibly be responsible for climate change since the amount of CO2 produced by man only takes up 0.00136% of our atmosphere?

Good one.

The original works very well here too.

[EQAndyBuzz]

10% of the walls temporary funding complete.

The adults are in charge again. Praise the Lord.

[DoughtyOne]

Exactly!

Good call...
