NASA full of 'fear and anxiety' since Trump took office, ex-employee says
The Guardian ^ | May 30, 2018 | by Oliver Milman

Nasa’s output of climate change information aimed at the public has dwindled under the Trump administration, with a former employee claiming “fear and anxiety” within the agency has led to an online retreat from the issue.

Laura Tenenbaum, a former science communicator for Nasa, said she was warned off using the term “global warming” on social media and restricted in speaking to the media due to her focus on climate change.

“Nasa’s talking point is that it’s business as usual, but that’s not true,” said Tenenbaum, who departed Nasa in October after a decade at the space agency.

“They have stopped promoting or emphasizing climate science communication, they have minimized it. People inside the agency are concerned Trump will cut climate science funding. There is a fear and anxiety there and the outcome has been chaos.”

Tenenbaum said that around a month after Trump’s inauguration last year an “arduous review process” was put in place over every blog post, Facebook post and tweet that she put out from Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California.

Maybe NASA can explain to us how Central Park,which a few thousand years ago was covered by a glacier 2,000 feet thick,has been totally ice free for many hundreds of years.

It will be a real surprise to many when they find out how much phony science has come out of NASA.

Ethics, brains, b@lls. You might get the first two from a classroom. You won’t get the third. And that third has been sadly lacking for quite some time.

Pardon my French.

Gosh - maybe if NASA was doing what they were designed to do there would be a lot less to fret about....

Nasa’s output of climate change information aimed at the public

Total BS. NASA has spewed nothing but politically motivated propaganda on the subject.

Fake data and crap "studies" that wouldn't get a passing grade in freshman statistics 101.

We used to call them Technical Writers. They wrote manuals and procedures and such under the direction of STEM types, they weren’t out in front of the public spouting nonsense.

It’s global warming that has not been “Business as usual”. NASA was never supposed to be the weather channel. NASA’s mission was about space flight...

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was created in 1958 as an agency charged with overseeing all non-military aerospace programs. Previously, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) handled rocket research and other aerospace activities, but the Soviet launch of Sputnik made it apparent that the United States needed to focus its efforts in order to avoid being left behind in the space race. One of NASA’s first goals was putting a man into space. - https://www.reference.com/science/nasa-created-a77b4a22031789af

I used to be a fan of NASA, as many Americans were at one time.

When they donned the cloak of “Climate Change”, they became an adversary.
