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”.

Yehova is his name; he said so.

Science is a word, not a palpable thing.

Yehova’s word is quite scientifically validated, through documented prophecy and fulfillment.

The stuff you want to call science is contrived political propaganda. Nothing scientific about it.

Ever heard of S.E.T.I.???

Powerful scientific proof that there is absolutely nothing sentient out there.

What an incredible waste of processing power!

Satellite data are analysed based on models, whether you realize it or not.

Are you so afraid of the models that you want to stop collecting the data?

I’m absolutely 110% in favor of this. But. He’s triggering a lot of really unstable people. I sure hope the Secret Service is on their game.

Maybe some money can be spent to use the existing satellites for real climate science.

The glaciers will be back in 1000 years or so. Be nice to know when we’ll have to start moving south.

I feel like i’m in a dream too.

Been a big fan of Trump for a long time. Election day was the happiest day of my life because I know what this man can do for America and for freedom!

After inauguration , then you will see even more marvelous things from Trump!

Agreed. How often have we seen politicans play Christians with the “I’m the Christian and/or conseravative candidate” only to get into office and turn moderate and not enact anything.

At least Trump is going to do things - we already see it.

There are other sources for this, it is not NASAs area but rather NOAA

Sorry but No you did not. I asked for chapter and verse and you did not respond to me. You posted one to someone else and I pointed out that you took it out of context.

Once again you fail at proving your point.

This thread is NOT about religious arguments, it’s about the government spending precious funds on “global warming”.

If you want to have a discussion about religious conceps and beliefs, you can start a thread in the appropriate section.

They each have their assets.

If the proposal is to transfer control of NASA's climate satellites to NOAA, fine.
