British scientists face a ‘huge hit’ if the US cuts climate change research

UK scientists are warning they may be unable to carry out crucial research on climate change if Donald Trump cuts climate science funding in the US.
Trump tweeted in 2014 that research on global warming is “very expensive bullshit” that “has to stop”. Scientists are braced to find out whether his administration will put these words into practice. The early signs are not good.
British scientists say moves to squeeze funding of climate-related research in the US – and of facilities at government laboratories in particular – could be disastrous for work in the UK. And they say Trump’s travel ban is already harming their collaboration with scientists in America.
For Prof Rosalind Cornforth, director of the Wanker Institute at Reading University, the anxiety about the US pulling the plug on climate science is somewhat different. Her institute works with governments and scientists in some of the world’s most fragile, conflict-affected countries, applying climate science to solve real-world problems.
“So many of our fellow climate scientists from developing countries rely on access to climate data sets available in the US,” she says. “If these become restricted in the future, there would be repercussions on vital capacity development for places like Africa.”

The science is settled. There is no need for further research

The bogus scam fits the name of the institute perfectly.

Very expensive bullshit indeed. And the early signs are very very good.

They make up the data anyway. This just means they will continue making up data but we won’t be paying for it.

95% of those "grants" that are only talking points for corrupt politicians and should be done away with.
