How Trump could be derailing a major global climate report
Washington Post via MSN ^ | Feb 22, 2025 | Scott Dance

Posted on 02/23/2025 9:28:12 AM PST by where's_the_Outrage?

The Trump administration has blocked work that is central to major international climate change research, and barred federal scientists and diplomats from attending a key global climate event in China next week, according to three sources close to the situation who spoke to The Washington Post on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

Katherine Calvin, NASA’s chief scientist and senior climate adviser, has been barred from traveling to China to meet with colleagues on work related to the next major report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a United Nations body that makes regular assessments about the state of the warming world. The next report is expected in 2029, and Calvin is leading one of three major IPCC working groups.

NASA also terminated its contract with a U.S. based group of scientists and staff who were working closely with Calvin to coordinate global efforts to craft the next assessment, essentially leaving one-third of the IPCC’s next report adrift with no staff assigned to pull it together.

The actions in recent days — the new administration’s most significant to curb government work on climate change, which President Donald Trump has called a “hoax” — have cast unprecedented uncertainty upon the climate panel’s work, which aims to synthesize the most up-t0-date human understanding of the planet’s warming and what can be done to stop it......

Based on decades of work by thousands of scientists around the world, the IPCC has long warned of massive global consequences if humans cannot stop temperatures from exceeding that threshold for years or decades at a time.

The group of 10 scientists and staff who were working under the NASA contract still have their jobs, the three sources said, but have been blocked from any IPCC-related work since Feb. 14.

“Climate reports” are nothing but applications for government grants so the Envirowhackoes can travel the world and look for crap to *itch about to get more grants.

"Katherine Calvin, NASA’s chief scientist and senior climate adviser, has been barred from traveling to China..."

I'd far prefer hearing Katherine Calvin say...

"the IPCC has long warned of massive global consequences"

The same IPCC that was caught red-handed faking climate data in 2009. And why are they meeting in China, which produces over twice the CO2 as the United States but is not being asked to lower its own emissions?

They get nice grants but they also cause anxiety in the ruling classes about climate and what to do about it and that’s how we have gotten to the point of spending billions of dollars on dozens of charging stations, and devoting millions of acres of land to solar panel farms that produce electricity only during the daytime.

Those solar panel farms and the environment destroying windmill farms are one of my major pet peeves. It’s time to get those manufacturing that crap take responsibility for recycling that crap or doing something with it when it is no longer useful. Dumpin’ it on the side of the roads isn’t working out.

If they cannot immediately fire her then the Antarctic science station has an urgent need to study the impact of climate on penguins..she should report there on Monday.

You are behind the times. There is an urgent need to study the impact of climate change on TRANSGENDER penguins.

Might be hard to top this observation.

That will be her greatest contribution to climate change.
You know how much carbon is emitted by the flight to China!?

The ‘Climate Emergency’ Is a Hoax (declaration of 1,609 scientists)
Gatestone Institute ^ | September 10, 2023 | Robert Williams
https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/19962/climate-emergency-hoax

More than 1,600 scientists, including two Nobel laureates, have signed a declaration saying that “There is no climate emergency.” The declaration is unlikely to get any attention from the mainstream media, unfortunately, but it is important for people to know about: the mass climate hysteria and the destruction of the US economy in the name of climate change need to stop.

“Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific,” states the declaration signed by the 1,609 scientists, including Nobel laureates John F. Clauser from the US and Ivar Giaever from Norway/US.

“Climate policy relies on inadequate models Climate models have many shortcomings and are not remotely plausible as policy tools. They... ignore the fact that enriching the atmosphere with CO2 is beneficial... There is no statistical evidence that global warming is intensifying hurricanes, floods, droughts and suchlike natural disasters, or making them more frequent.” — 1,609 scientists, There is no Climate Emergency, clintel.org.

“I was taught that you tell the whole truth [as a scientist]....” Koonin said. He noted as well the immorality of asking the developing world to cut down emissions, when so many do not even have access to electricity and the immorality of scaring the younger generations.... — Steven E. Koonin, former Undersecretary for Science at the U.S. Department of Energy; current professor at New York University, fellow at the Hoover Institution, and author of Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn’t, and Why It Matters. — Hoover Institution, August 15, 2023.
