Before former U.S. President Donald Trump incited a hostile insurrection against the Capitol, he’d already smashed wrecking balls through the ranks of government agencies. Among the many casualties was the truth about climate science, which NASA was routinely prevented from sharing with the public that supports it.
I was the senior science editor for NASA’s Global Climate Change website and witnessed the impact of science suppression firsthand. I’d been at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), one of 10 NASA centers, for a decade when, three weeks into the Trump Administration, on Feb. 16, 2017, the Washington Post published an article noting that while the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Park Service were shutting down climate communication, NASA was still writing about climate change.
The Post piece shared links to my most recent NASA blog post about the rapid increase of ice-mass loss in Greenland.
It caused NASA management to panic. Scott Pruitt had been appointed to head the EPA and promptly removed the EPA’s climate-change website. NASA management seemed to fear a similar fate.
During the Obama presidency, I live-tweeted and posted on Facebook in real time from science events, conferences, satellite launches and field campaigns. I posted up-to-date information on global climate events such as cyclones, floods, tornadoes and storms on evenings and weekends, and saw our Facebook page grow to 1.3 million Likes. Newspapers and magazines, documentaries and TV news regularly referenced our NASA Global Climate Change website.
Under the Biden Administration, scientific institutions might eventually recover. The new President has appointed Gavin Schmidt, a top NASA scientist, to the position of acting senior climate adviser, a new role formed to help put greater focus on the agency’s research on climate change. But rebuilding the government and restoring the federal climate-science apparatus won’t be easy.

Laura Faye you are a liar
Huzzah!
Buy a Comb or Brush
“...globally recognized innovator in science and climate..”
Innovator - so it means she makes things up to communicate her “science” !
Feel good story of the day.
Thanks mate.
I guess everyone will have to get lives now.
That picture was probably taken right after a “job interview”.
NASA and JPL should not be involved in this at all. You want to play in those fields go to NOAA or better yet the weather channel.
Climate change clearly leads to high winds.
One can only hope...
“Before former U.S. President Donald Trump incited a hostile insurrection against the Capitol”
Proven journalistic liars should be convicted and hung until eventually they utter the truth.
Global warming hair.
Biden has already ordered NASA’s programs delayed.
SpaceX will be building space stations around Saturn while NASA’s still trying to get their moon rocket ready.
I will give her credibility once she explains why Greenland is covered in ice.
Bull$hit artist ?
NASA invested heavily in terrestrial and space based platforms to track the climate and to test the theory of CO2 induced Global Warming .
As of 20017, the results were finally coming in and were showing that CO2 based warming was not a significant threat
Obama basically shut down these programs as soon as he took office
Oh, Tenenbaum....you are a LIAR! Go AWAY you muzzie enabler. Your ‘science’ IS your flapping gums to prop up middle eastern oil and not America.
Oh Tenebaum you were an apparat of the muzlim fascist.. obamaumao the first.
Whose mission was for NASA to expand the horizons of islam...
Roll away you mouthy liar.
To the tune Oh Shenandoah-— Or.. Oh Christmas Tree either one.
A first class LYING POS obamaumao mouthpiece— and also a complete ditzo.
Show us the ICE MASS loss, Ms. Tenenbaum...and show the science that determines any of it as being CAUSED BY MAN, and not the current 200 year Solar Cycle we can do NOTHING about.
FACT.
