Nasa’s output of climate change information aimed at the public has dwindled under the Trump administration, with a former employee claiming “fear and anxiety” within the agency has led to an online retreat from the issue.
Laura Tenenbaum, a former science communicator for Nasa, said she was warned off using the term “global warming” on social media and restricted in speaking to the media due to her focus on climate change.
“Nasa’s talking point is that it’s business as usual, but that’s not true,” said Tenenbaum, who departed Nasa in October after a decade at the space agency.
“They have stopped promoting or emphasizing climate science communication, they have minimized it. People inside the agency are concerned Trump will cut climate science funding. There is a fear and anxiety there and the outcome has been chaos.”
Tenenbaum said that around a month after Trump’s inauguration last year an “arduous review process” was put in place over every blog post, Facebook post and tweet that she put out from Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California.

NASA really has no business doing “Climate Science”.
Close NASA GISS at Columbia.
Sour grapes.
Good. Go back to real science.
Gee, spending NASA’s taxpayer-provided funding on AGW alarmism and Muslim outreach are out of favor with the current administration? Who would have guessed?!
Arduous review process = fact checking?
They should be nervous if they cannot justify whatever it is that they do at work. The taxpayers should not be paying for unproductive activities with no positive outcomes.
There are more ‘Climate Scientists’ in every university and two bit diploma mill on this planet that NASA ever dreamed about. We don’t need any more....................
‘zackly !
Like the Congress........................
Folks get paid to sit around and invent new complaints.
Then they pretend it is “proof” of a nonexistent condition.
In any case, welcome to real life, sweetie.
Decades ago, a friend of mine went to work for NASA-Ames in the Bay Area.
She told me it was filled with PhDs, all doing pointless work trying to ride things out till retirement.
She left soon after.
MAGA! Pack your bags you useless parasites!
At least this bitter Obama commissar has been purged. Still too many throughout the Federal government and the Media.
Somebody is upset, that THEIR field of interest is no longer the topic de rigueur, or cause celebre.
"Self-employed? Nah, UN-EMPLOYED. Good riddance!
NASA spent $170,000 developing a pen that worked in Zero G. They proudly showed it to the Cosmonauts on the Space Lab. They asked the Russians what they used. “We use a pencil” was the answer.
