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.

Why are they even dealing with that issue? I thought NASA's mission was space exploration. Climate is something that exists on earth.

Earth science IS one of NASA’s missions, its just that the agency needs to get back to collecting science, not trying to prove a (false) thesis.

Personally, except for retards like the author of the article and the dismissed employee, the science collection really hasn’t changed much. There is tremendous value in understanding the Earth environment as we learn how to predict weather, ward off REAL man made disasters like poor agriculture habits that cause top soil erosion (really bad in Africa for example), see the effects deforestation in the Amazon, understand ocean currents and El Ninio/ La Nina cycles, etc. These are all valid and worthy collections.

The hardest science in the world has been weather prediction, but the latest instruments on the NASA GOES weather satellites can now do lightning mapping and help better predict storms to aid aviation safety and provide better storm warning.

But starting out with the premise that man made CO2 (a plant fertilizer) is causing global warming and trying to prove this by manufacturing the data is not science. Its just propaganda fodder.

Climate is something that exists on every planet whether it is liveable to humans or not. While I am no fan of the vile filth that has spewed from the former VP and what NASA has transformed into a complete and utter hoax on the American people and the world, researching and investigating climate change as it naturally occurs on the Earth is a precursor to understanding the climate in worlds we have yet to come across. Climate research has as much reason to belong in the space program as does putting a man on the moon or mars. However, the current path in which it is being researched causes great consternation into it efficaciousness going forward. Return to the science and leave the politics at the door.
