Donald Trump is poised to eliminate all climate change research conducted by Nasa as part of a crackdown on “politicized science”, his senior adviser on issues relating to the space agency has said.
Nasa’s Earth science division is set to be stripped of funding in favor of exploration of deep space, with the president-elect having set a goal during the campaign to explore the entire solar system by the end of the century.

This would mean the elimination of Nasa’s world-renowned research into temperature, ice, clouds and other climate phenomena. Nasa’s network of satellites provide a wealth of information on climate change, with the Earth science division’s budget set to grow to $2bn next year. By comparison, space exploration has been scaled back somewhat, with a proposed budget of $2.8bn in 2017.
Bob Walker, a senior Trump campaign adviser, said there was no need for Nasa to do what he has previously described as “politically correct environmental monitoring”.

It is politicized “science” because the goal is a federal grant, not the truth. Remember, Bob Dole said in 1996, “We’ve got to tell the truth in this country.” But the American people didn’t connect the dots.
You mean “solar system,” much smaller than the “universe”, or maybe you use the terms interchangeably.
I’m having a difficult time keeping up with all this winning.
Where does Al Gore live? Is he back in TN?
Don’t forget flying cars.
Wouldn't THAT be refreshing ? !
I loved JFK's 1961 speech, "We choose to go to the Moon."
... "We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win" ...
I still get chills reading it and feeling a sense of patriotism and pride.
So, I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge your excellent commentary. And give you kudos for triggering that memory and adding substance to the discussion.
How many lost their jobs when he shut down the shuttle on the space coast? 20,000 if my memory is correct, don't get me started on this one...

It’s settled science. No need to continue funding. I would also defund every university and remove every grant relating to climate research. And when they complain ask a simple question. “How much will it cost to fix global warming and who gets the money?”
“The telecom industry is the source of all of our present useful technology.
Only the aerospace industry has benefited from the space program.”
Well pal, your Yehovah has that bit wrong too. BTW, how’s the snake handling gong? Gotten bitten yet?
Still not tired of WINNING!!!
Still not sick of winning over here.
“There is a core of legitimate science in the study of the atmosphere that should be continued after getting rid of the activists.”
Not unlike the task at hand of wiping out the Muzzies. If you don’t permanently eliminate all of them, they will be back. Goes for DemoRATs too! The biggest task facing Trump will be to completely purge them from their “mole” positions in our government agencies, particularly in the State Department.
“yes but thank goodness NASA will continue its critical main goal as told by the jug eared punk obammy, mooselimb outreach.”
And that would be what? The ongoing “research” into how rugs self-levitate only for Muzzies?
I would like to see him state we will switch all climate funding to the Mars trip.
And this has been called “Trump backing off his climate stand” by the LSM and causing more “concerns” among the FRidiots who can’t stand winning. The best way to win this battle is to use actual honest science to belie the lies we have been fed.
Then the CDC and then the FDA...
Great start...Thanks smart Americans...
I won’t accept happy holidays.
I’ll be saying merry Christmas to everyone.
Of course, this will be called a micro-aggression by the PC left, but they can suck it up.
