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”.

Happy Thanksgiving to you, too, Reaganaut.
I really feel that we’re on the cusp of a wonderful new era in America. One that will see our country restored, and made great again.
And his guess was as good as any other.
Did you type that statement on a typewriter or a computer?
Data isn't (aren't) political and reliable climate data has lots of legitimate uses.
The answer to politicized science isn't to stop doing research, it's to make sure those interpreting the data are driven by the scientific method.
The more confident thing would be to say we're going to make sure the data is analyzed honestly. This makes it look like we don't like the answer so we're not going to ask the question any more.
Yay! President-Elect Trump can make all the conciliatory statements about climate change he wants (to lull the libs into complacency) as long as he initiates policies like this.
Best.
Transition.
Ever.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
You should plead the 5th on that issue since the Constitution says nothing about space exploration.
Otherwise, there is an aspect of fraud with repect to how the corrupt feds have sold NASA to taxpayers. That needs to be addressed imo.
After all, the Founding States gave the “power of the purse” to the House (1.7.1), ordinary voters having constitutional authority to elect representatives from the time that the Constitution was ratified.
NASA minimally has to go under the electron microscope with respect to NASA possibly paying $600 for things like a toilet seat that military contractors, for example, are alleged to have charged the feds; no accountability.
NASA has also been helping to unconstitutionally expand the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers as evidenced by its involvement in climate change politics, the feds having no constitutional authority to regulate, tax and spend for such an issue.
On the other hand, if NASA’s functions have a constitutionally justifiable place in the federal government, I’m sure that Trump will find it, even if the Constitution needs to be amended.
When MAN wrote down God's word, THE NEW WORLD was yet to be discovered.
Does that mean "we" (North and South America, all the native plants, animals, and the Indians) don't really exist?
Take me to your leader?

You’re quite the master of logic I see.

You fail to explain the Louisiana purchase and Lewis and Clark expedition. Authorized by one of the authors of the constitution.

On a computer that was the result of telecom’s discoveries in the physics of semiconductors, of course.

It is impossible to prove a negative in unlimited space. I could assert for example that there is no such thing as kryptonite. I could not however prove it scientifically.
The odds against a habitable place elsewhere in the universe are infinitesimally small
Also the Bible does not mention one. It doesn’t mention a lot here d things. But the details of creation and the focus of the narrative make it hard to believe there is another place for mankind to live.
That's OK. It makes great Sci-fi.
Make NASA great again...

I used scripture completely in context with the subject at hand.
The word of Yehova makes it plain that there is no purpose for the universe but as a place for the home of the people for his name.
This is the foundational premise of creation.
No astronomy prof has the slightest idea whether there are any planets at all outside of our solar system. But they love to babble about their wishes, as though they were powerful enough to bring planets into existence.
The latter chapters of Revelation speak to the end of space-time itself. Our salvation is the provision at the day of Trumpets of a body that can exist outside of space-time. (that was the subject of Yeshua’s revelations to High Priest Nicodemus in John chapter 3)

Really? Earth is the universe only inhabitable planet? How do you know? I know I seen UFOs before. We are not alone.
