Trump to scrap Nasa climate research in crackdown on ‘politicized science’
The UK Guardian via MSN ^ | Nov. 23, 2016 | Oliver Milman, The UK Guardian

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”.

>> but the whole universe is “Our World” <<

Essentially true.

And that world has but a short time remaining for its existence.

It will depart from his face “for there was found no place for it.”

Trump’s agenda is closer to the American ideals we wish to ‘conserve’, than any politician I’ve seen in this life.

Well, according to The Buckley Rule: “Nominate the most conservative candidate who is electable.”

(Attention stay-at-home conservative "purists")

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED!

He must be GOD...I guess he visited other planets and said Earth should be unique. I’m sure some planets got humanoids. Are they intelligent beings...I bet they are more intelligent than Libs...

Spiritual life, not biological, space-time dependent life.

Your conflict is in that tiny space of your cognition.

You claim no other life exists in the entire universe and now you claim earth has just a “short time” left.

Get a grip.

>> “and reliable climate data has lots of legitimate uses.” <<

Problem is that none of the subject “data” is from empirical observation; it is the result of tendentious political posturing “models” that have no basis in legitimate science.

The country that put men on the moon, no one else has been, now has to beg a ride on Russian rockets if they want to leave earth.

You’re quite the master of logic I see.

Well, nobody's been attacking or mocking me.

Your ancestral counterparts were probably trying to stop Columbus and other explorers from sailing West.

The closed minded ancients wanted to cage Galileo for heresy. They didn’t want to hear the truth because it would upset their apple cart of beliefs which were used to control others.

I’ve got a firm scriptural grip.

Unfortunately, you’ve none, nor any desire to acquire one.

Reading the scriptures yields the understanding that the coming Jubilee next year marks the beginning of the last Sabbath of the present geo-political era that allowed the governance by men.

Yeshua then takes over as the reigning King for 1000 years before dispatching the material universe to oblivion.

Not for you? - Meh!

Wow...You’re the same individual who attempted to discredit and undermine Trump during the entire election and you were 100% wrong about everything, and in fact you were supporting the lying fraud who lost big.

I am not surprised in the least by your ignorant comments.

Real, honest empirical science fully conforms to the word of Yehova.

The stuff you support is pure politics and propaganda.

What do the moon landings have to do with this discussion?

Seriously, we can see the moon clearly; its not a creation of humanist propaganda.
