Trump To Scrap NASA Climate Research In Crackdown On 'Politicized Science' (theguardian.com)
dryriver quotes a report from The 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 $2 billion (PDF) next year. By comparison, space exploration has been scaled back somewhat, with a proposed budget of $2.8 billion in 2017.] Kevin Trenberth, senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, said as Nasa provides the scientific community with new instruments and techniques, the elimination of Earth sciences would be "a major setback if not devastating." "It could put us back into the 'dark ages' of almost the pre-satellite era," he said. "It would be extremely short sighted."
How does it feel to be on the wrong side of history, liberal faggots!?
And quit reporting supposition as fact. Enough already!

Shutting down NASA Earth Science moves it over to NOAA.

...So there's not really any reason to fund it any more, is there?
Chaos maximizes locally around me.
Explore space. Let climate scientists pay for their own experiments and tools for monitoring.
Vlad Trumpula comes out of his coffin and with the brains of the living dead takes one completely ignorant step each time he opens his mouth. I am just so very convinced that the survival of Earth is less important than deep space research. We are not going into deep space anytime in the reasonably near future and if climate change kills us off or reduces humanity back to the stone age i am convinced that deep space theories will just be so very interesting to the Luddites in the caves.
All you fuckers who voted for Trump, remember that you voted for eliminating important research.
But the 12 NOAA climate-data "adjustments" in a row that have each cooled the past and warmed the present can't be considered "politicized science" since that could totally be legitimate compensations for random errors. You're totally likely to randomly select the same of six options 12 times in a row; this happens 100/6^12 = 0.000000046% if the time!
How to work an "elephant in the room" joke into the Subject:?
This article seems to belong in the anti-news category. News is supposed to be surprising or at least interesting. At this point I see no grounds for interest.
Will Trump survive to 2020, or will the cognitive dissonance of sometimes having to say rational things set his spray-tan on fire before that? Will he live long enough to dump Pence for Ivanka? If he makes it that far, he could abdicate the throne at any time and keep it in the Family, surely the richest and most powerful in America by that time.
I'm not trying to be funny anymore. Reality has exceeded the capacity of my imagination. Climate does not exist, as I sit here watching the earliest snowfall in more than 50 years. Climate change? There is no climate to change. It's all random ostriches and orange and pink striped elephants.
Freedom = (Meaningful - Coerced) Choice != (Speech | Beer^2), and sad sock puppets' bad mods avail them naught.
Fuck Trump, fraudulent fake ass daughter-fucker.
It's our daily dose of Slashdot global warming coupled with obligatory complaining about Trump. Let's all bow down along with the AGW acolytes.
Sidestepping the click-bait argument about the impact of the loss of this type of research... The benefits of this type of research being stripped out of NASA and perhaps being shuffled to NOAA might be a net positive for NASA in the long run. Why is NASA in the business of climate research at all? It is after all NASA (National Aeronautics Space Administration), not the NCRSSA (Nation Climate Research and Sometimes Space Administration).
Yes! Let's shuffle that extra $2 Billion into doing some real space exploration and leave the climate science to the people that studied meteorology and give money back to the guys that studied rocket science.
For a moment I had considered Trump to be leaning moderate, but I guess he's too Republican influenced to be moderate after all.
Do you expect anyone to get in a serious scientific discussion with such hilarious math? Do you have ANY idea how anything actually works?
Come on, tell us the truth. Who's paying you for that tripe? You cannot possibly be so ignorant or crazy by accident.
Just my personal annotation that this branch should be regarded as "pointless and closed" and that the questions were rhetorical. No intention to feed the trolls and even less expectation of an honest answer to ANY question. You can't provide food for thought in such a case.aRe:Polit
Freedom = (Meaningful - Coerced) Choice != (Speech | Beer^2), and sad sock puppets' bad mods avail them naught.
doesn't give a shit about the environment. environmental controls affect his (and his buddies') profit making potential. he won't live long enough to see the ongoing effects of destroying the global environment even more, and his children are rich enough to not have to worry about it either.
I thought he wasn't a religious twat that was brainlessly against all "science".
You did it again murica, you done outdid yourself.
Creation theory in schools.
God
Damn
It little behooves the best of us to comment on the rest of us.
BREAKING NEWS: ONLY NASA IS ALLOWED TO USE DATA FROM NASA SATELLITES! NOBODY ELSE CAN HAVE THAT DATA! IS IS FORBIDDEN, AS DECREED BY PROPHECY!
Or maybe it's a complete load of horseshit, and maybe, just fucking maybe, our space agency should actually be concerned with going to space again.
"a major setback if not devastating." "It could put us back into the 'dark ages' of almost the pre-satellite era," he said. "It would be extremely short sighted."
If only there were other nation states that had scientists studying the field of Earth Science that could continue the work of NASA. But alas, only the US is capable producing scientists with that expertise. Oh well, we learned alot and maybe in the future we'll emerge from the coming Dark Age with a newfound motivation to learn again.
basically, single church nuts, basically get nervous when lose a piece of their dicks. most of them are ultra gay.
Climate Research is very important in providing unbiased information for future laws && humanity.
If laws has not been created to solve the Global Climate issue then NASA's Climate Research is not complete even though data has been collected.
NASA is sitting on vast data collected from Global Climate Change. What type of laws will the politicians create based on the data?
Congrats morons on picking a total shitforbrains to be your leader. Damned cult flunkies.
Us humans really are dumb creatures.
Don't tempt him to rewrite physics books. He appears to be willing and able, since ignorance is on his side.
You can't argue space exploration needs more funding though and it has to come from somewhere. We will never set foot on another planet if their funding keeps getting cut. We have run out of new lands to conquer, they are all taken. Hurry up and get some planets colonised already.
Because the planet we are on isn't a part of space.
Weaselmancer
rediculous.
I've often wondered why any atmospheric work at NASA wasn't conducted by NOAA. I'm OK with NASA working specifically on aeronautics.
Secondly, the goal is to de-politicize the research so that dissenting viewpoints can be presented along with majority viewpoints.
This is the basis of the scientific method, not of trying for outcomes that are political.
Don't ever forget the story of Dr. Barry Warren who discovered the cure for most ulcers. Because Big Pharma stood to lose millions, his research was quashed. It wasn't until he gave himself an ulcer and cured it that the story got out.
Same goes for climate: let's focus on proper, scientific research and NOT on opinion and emotion. This way we can arrive at empirical evidence to support solutions to climate change. Don't ever forget, it was NIXON who created the EPA. Trump may surprise with his pragmatic approach... on the other hand, he may not! LOL
*** Don't be dull.***
Let the other countries handle the easy stuff. I hope all of the climate money goes to space exploration instead. Unpopular point of view for sure. Do it anyway.
I'm so tired of the SUV driving, Yacht sailing, power guzzling yuppy assholes making everything harder for the rest of us so they can have some point to bring up when somebody brings up climate change during their wine tasting.
Look to the stars! There is no stopping this train. The best we can do is slow it a bit.
THERE. ARE. TO. MANY. PEOPLE. Reality check- EXPONENTIAL GROWTH. This train aint gonna slow.
You call this damnation. I call it forward thinking. There are solutions at home, but we reject them out of hand. The only realistic answer is the stars. Dont be discouraged by man-kinds reach today, be optimistic for what we may achieve next year.
This is the best news to come out of T yet.
Explorers change your world.
Stellar explorers change your Galaxy.
You are being ripped off every second of every day, so that advertisers can help rip you off even more tomorrow.
that ignorant bigoted trailer park trash like you are anywhere near a majority.
The smart thing to do is close NASA down completely
for pointing out your shortcomings and then try to blame them for the damage causes by your little hissy fits?
but after that we can hamstring him with a Democratic congress (don't forget to vote in your primaries or you'll get Blue Dogs).
And barring a war he's a 1 term president with 8 years of democrats to follow. That'll stop the bleeding. If you want the damage undone then you'll need to give the Dems a super majority in the senate and probably some state legislatures.

Numpty muppets.

Too late. No doubt his nominee for Department of Education will do it for him.
If it weren't for deadlines, nothing would be late.
How long this kind of nonsense is going to stay - often seems like 3rd Reich in the beginning... On the radio I even heard people shouting, after asked if they can pronounce the German word for "lying press" - where the press organs which were not in line with the upcoming movement, were constantly denounced - the crowd roared enthusiastically LÜGENPRESSE.. This may have been just a small rightest wing gathering, but Donald consistently labels anything not conforming to his "Universe" as lie again and again.
This is a simple idea and concept picked up easily by crowd minds.
Boah!
"the president-elect having set a goal during the campaign to explore the entire solar system by the end of the century"
You got be kidding me, the Chinese government is planning to do that before 2050, and they actual have the funding to do so. That aside, the politics in US can barely sustain projects that span the length of one decade, making plan for 80 years is just outrageously impractical!
Totally agree. The Trump administration is "poised" to eliminate climate science, quote from campaign advisers, and concerned scientists make up this article. Come back when you have something to report.
The advisor designated to oversea future planning related to NASA says, 'we're going to cut a $2+ billion NASA program that not coincidentally provides critical baseline data to climate scientists because politicians shouldn't meddle with client scientists.'
May I offer my professional opinion, as someone who runs a newspaper: That is something to report.
That's not just any old thing to report. That's something that you report in the World News section. Above the fold. With a 4 inch headline. And an entire editorial department asking the reporter, 'Really he said that? Because no sane person would say that. He's that fucking dense? Yeah? He did? Okay, fine. Zane, drop a hundred words from the second item. We're just going to print WTF fifty times below this article.'
Seriously, if you think this is a reasonable, unremarkable pronouncement from a member of the presidential transition team, you are not entirely sound in the head. I mean that in all sincerity. Get checked. Because you're not thinking rationally.
Hey, go for it!
In fact, why not eliminate the middle bits and just cut to the chase. In your next issue, just put:
"TRUMP IS INSANE"
As your lead story, front page, above the fold, with a 4 inch headline.
That's the way to get readership. Eyes on articles comes from shocking surprise in headlines causing disgust, indignation, or offence.
And you'll be just like all the other MSM newspapers. One of the club! In the big leagues now, I betcha!
Tell people what to think!
That's how you run a newspaper nowadays.
(Of course, the real story is that Earth science will become the purview of NOAA, freeing up NASA to do what it does best: explore space. NASA will get the satellites to space, but other departments will conduct Earth studies.)
I mean just think the Snapchat IPO is estimated at 25 billion, maybe Snapchat could take it over as a charity or something.
Has this been done yet? If not, why not?
This whole situation makes me happy to be 50 and have some health problems. Maybe, assuming things go really bad, I'll be able to get out of here honorably.
For educated people this is scary. At this point I cannot even try to explain the complexities of certain subjects to people. The anti-intellectualism runs so deep that just being an intellectual brands you as an outsider. This is not good for our society.
This is a dangerous time for smart folks. I could have easily ended up a climate scientist. Though in my case I chose systems engineering with radio as a hobby. Both rely on physics. Both require knowledge of real science.
The rhetoric I'm hearing could land some very competent and gifted scientists in some kind of detention. Defunding comes first- silencing comes second.
The American century has certainly closed.

Good for Trump, because climate science = politics. Sorry, but it just has that stench about it.

Too late. No doubt his nominee for Department of Education will do it for him.
I take it that you don't want poor black kids to be able to go to school in your wealthy neighborhood?
lucm, indeed.
First .. Should NOAA be running the studies, and be supported by satellites run by Nasa, Funded thru NOAA? Arguable.
Second .. Is climate change real, or does the President-Elect know more about worldwide weather fluctuation than all the scientists (ok 95% of them), the same way he knows more about war than generals?
Honestly, I am having trouble keeping all the truthiness our President-Elect pushes out. Can we agree that he said a lot of things to get him elected, What is your favorite contradiction?
Time for a new Political party in the US (or two!) One is off the rails Other cant pony up a leader.
Hey, go for it!
In fact, why not eliminate the middle bits and just cut to the chase. In your next issue, just put:
"TRUMP IS INSANE"
Because he's not insane. He's a buffoon, and so pathologically needy that he will say virtually anything to anyone, but that's not news. We don't run a celebrity gossip site. And this particular story is about his advisor, not Trump himself. You see, we report actual news. Which was my original point.
What we do run is a newspaper in a part of the world that is already feeling the effects of climate change, with direct and tangible economic and social impacts. So when a top climate denier says that he intends to cut the legs out from under an integral part of the climate science community, and claims to be acting to stop political interference with climate science.... That gets a big headline. We're running it tomorrow.
And yes, editors do sometimes talk like that. In jest, but mostly because if you can't maintain your gallows humour, you won't be an editor for long.

...
Nope.
I don't know what you're running, but it most definitely isn't a newspaper.
Firstly, this is an advisor making suggestions to Trump, not Trump himself.
Secondly, the person making the suggestion is an outside advisor, not a member of the transition team.
Thirdly, the recommendation is to let NASA deal with space-going issues and have other parts of government do climate research. It's not advocating just dumping the research.
And finally, other members of the government have suggested this move in the past, including Ted Cruz.
(source)
Trump has not said or done anything on this yet, he's only vaguely and tangentially involved, and it's not even clear that the adviser has even made his case to Trump yet.
It took me all of 1 minute to dig down and find the actual story, and summarize it truthfully. I've done what any good editor should do, and what you didn't do. Report fairly and accurately.
And yet you want to put 4 inch headlines saying how insane he is. Oh, excuse me, that was in jest. You want to say he is a buffoon.
You think you're a newspaper, but you're one of the "fake news" problems we keep hearing about.
Let me be specific: You are in no way running an actual newspaper, you're simply a troll publication like National Enquirer.

'Climate change' is a massive BILLION DOLLAR FRAUD committed against the people of this planet.
Good. The federal government is as bad or worse than large corporations, filled with divisions that decide it's their job to do what some other division is officially tasked to do. Climate research falls under NOAA, not NASA, which should get out of electric car research, Muslim outreach, greenhouse design and a bunch of other crap not related to its mission.
It's about time we ditched that unprovable, worthless, crap-festival of a theory. It boggles the mind how many people buy that crap hook line and sinker. You don't need a science degree to prove it's BS. Ask yourself- what other 'scientific' field renders itself immune from any sort of criticism. People should have realized it was BS the moment they heard someone say 'consensus'.
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. Tarzan Game Free 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.
At last there's some budget left for Mars.
Now if we could talk Trump and the illustrious entourage he's accreting around himself to leave for Mars ASAP, we might have one problem less.
Climate change? I'm sure we'll cope with that.
lucm be trollin'...
If they are getting rid of "politicized science" then we should be throwing out "intelligent design" as well.
Have you ever noticed how the conservatives throw insults and accusations at others, when the most apt fit is for themselves?
He's naming a guy who believes climate change to be in charge of the environment
He's naming a creationist to be in charge of education
He's naming a racist anti-gay to be in charge of interior
He's also designing a special uniform for his people.
Americans, what does it feel like to live in the early 1900s? Or maybe that's more like the 1800s?
Falling empires are fun to watch.
It's a fact, climate change is made up.
Climate always changes.
Change is good.
We all know this for sure because there are no solutions, only taxes.
From NACA's duct to NASA's invention of the hockey stick. One is useful for channeling airflow the other is useful for the channeling of money.
Passionately Indifferent
But I think i just fell in love with 'ol Johnny Trump.
Then how can our actions be outside of nature? If our actions are not outside of nature, then isn't "human caused climate change" just nature taking its course?
Instead of making wild accusations, why don't you explain exactly what's wrong with Trump's nominee for Education? The only thing she's truly famous for is her stance on right-to-choose and vouchers.
See, it takes more than "it's a Trump nominee" to label someone an incompetent. We're seeing the same pattern as during the election; there's nothing to support arguments, it's always just Trump=bad.
If you disagree with this nomination, explain why.
lucm, indeed.
Imagine the space program we could have.
Well it was fun while it lasted Humans. Good luck with your Trump and uh... hehe... yeah.
The disbelieving lobbyists and the action of Trump is political anti-science.

If facts don't matter, why spend money for them?

I don't think that the article is great journalism, but warning people about possible dangers is a valid function of the media.

Grab them by the pussy!
This will create an international outcry, and the predictable Trump answer will be: You want to keep it, you'll have to pay for it.
When NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Research) gets de-funded, then I'll worry. I would prefer NASA to concentrate on it's mandate of getting our collective asses into space. There are enough other organizations that can launch satellites, that NASA not being allowed to launch for anything other then their main mandate is also a negligible issue.
they're mostly looking to stop wars and shore up the economy. They'll still be lots of giveaways to the 1%, but Americans are mostly OK with that. What you'd mostly see out of a Democratic majority is Single payer health care, a smidge more immigration (Repubs are still very pro-immigration because they want that sweet, sweet cheap and pre-trained labor), legal abortion and (maybe) legal pot.
Basically they're going to run a right of center country with little bits of progress here and there. Exactly what you woulda got if Hillary had been elected.

I voted for trump to deport all the damn mexicans. then someone told me the mexicans are leaving and sent me an article and it turns out they have been leaving for years. what the hell. now I want him to put the wall up so the mexicans cant leave anymore so they don't stop doing all the jobs I dont want to do. he said there will only be a fence. son of a bitch.
also he was supposed to be making my taxes cheaper. but he just announced taxes will be cheaper for people who make more than $5mil. son of a bitch!!! I dont make that much fuking money. what an asshole. lying asshole piece of shit. people said he was a lier, but i am smarter than them. but maybe i made one mistake this time.
fucking trump, you god damn lier. make my taxes lower you piece of crap.
Starting at 10:00 into the video, Dr. Patrick Moore, a founder of Greenpeace, questions man-made climate change. It's the best rebuttal of man-made climate change and climate alarmism I've seen.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCrkqLaYjnc
p.s. I despise the term "climate denier". To deny means to claim something is not true despite knowing the opposite, it's an unfounded accusation of insincerity on the part of those who hold an opposing position.
BREAKING NEWS: ONLY NASA IS ALLOWED TO USE DATA FROM NASA SATELLITES! NOBODY ELSE CAN HAVE THAT DATA! IS IS FORBIDDEN, AS DECREED BY PROPHECY!
Or maybe it's a complete load of horseshit, and maybe, just fucking maybe, our space agency should actually be concerned with going to space again.
Institutional knowledge is a real thing. There is an advantage in having a lot of the same folks at the same place pushing together (creating synergies!).
Of course if it's closed down, then perhaps when people are spread to the four winds they'll help pollinate other organizations with some of the good things they're doing currently doing at NASA.

You really gonna post links to Mother Jones and nymag and use that as references? Did you miss the recent scare about fake news?
For instance, here's what's on the front page of nymag right now:
Ask Polly: How Do I Deal With My Trump-Voter Dad?
How do I mesh the man I loved and respected with the man who voted for Trump? How do I stay friends with people who voted Trump? Please help me. I’m really struggling with how to move forward.
http://nymag.com/thecut/2016/1...
Someone is asking how she can respect her father, knowing that he voted for Trump. What kind of person can get that far in their brainwash? That's the kind of question people would ask in Hitler Youth.
And here's the best part:
I tried talking calmly to my dad and just got a steady stream of Fox News bull$&@!
Someone is writing to NYMAG saying that they can no longer respect their father because he voted for Trump, and in the same breath they go and complain that he's the one spewing propaganda.
Really, wtf. One has to wonder how, as a society, we got to a point where the intolerance of the liberals has reached the point where they reject their own parents for voting Republican.
lucm, indeed.

My apologies, I must have messed up a link in there, I had three for you. I can't remember what site it was, but I'm sure you can find others, if you wanted. I don't think you do, as I don't see you expressing any particular comments about their coverage of Betsy Devos, but rather going into a diatribe over familial relationships as a distraction for some reason.
Not even challenging a single fact or claim, just waving your hands in the air. Denouncing those liberals. Again!

Oh my, the irony.
It's like you missed All in The Family and Wait Till Your Father Gets Home. You know, back in the seventies.
Or the dozens of Ann Landers and Dear Abby columns over politics. Or race. Or religion. Or hair cuts. Even overseas!
I mean, really, bad enough that you can't stick to the topic you claimed to want to discuss, but it's as if you think such conflicts are somehow a new development. When they've been TV fodder for decades.
Even the Simpsons have spoofed it. Three times.
You could at least show some appreciation for history. It doesn't take much effort to realize this sort of thing is old news.
Let's spend NASA's budget on space stuff. Don't we have an EPA?
It'll nice to stop this silly Alt-Left nonsense and get back to some actual issues, like jobs and such.

Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc
You're the one who linked to a liberal "Dear Abby" website to defend your position about Devos. Don't come here crying about the fact that it's a completely ridiculous way to back an already biased position.
lucm, indeed.
The entire school system is owned lock stock n barrel by the ultra left.
Maybe you've heard of the teacher's unions?
Teaching kids in school that they're all homosexual?
How about making white guilt a key part of the curriculum?
What country do you live in? It isn't the United States of America.
And then it only gets worse in college as seen clearly by the delicate puppy hugging crayon wielding play dough eating snowflakes at the university level who cry and go into spasms for merely -seeing- a "Trump 2016" chalk mark.
Sheesh!
You're the one who linked to a liberal "Dear Abby" website to defend your position about Devos. Don't come here crying about the fact that it's a completely ridiculous way to back an already biased position.
Yes, I already noticed you're not actually responding with any problems that you've identified with the actual content of the article.
But I already noted the problem in my initial reply to you.
What we're seeing is you not seeing any of the arguments actually presented against Devos. Ever. Ever. Ever.
I won't bother with more links, like I said, you won't see them. Ever. Ever. Ever.
Thank you for proving me right.
So, will all climate research stop?
Don't other countries have agencies that do similar research?
If not, then why the hell are we expected to do/$pend it all??
What we're seeing is you not seeing any of the arguments actually presented against Devos. Ever. Ever. Ever.
What arguments? instead of linking random, irrelevant sites, explain those arguments yourself, in your own words.
Of course you won't because just like the whole Clinton campaign this is just more vague, baseless accusations that only surf on "trump=bad" with zero substance whatsoever. If you had had any real point to bring up you would already have done so instead of trying to paint me as the one who doesn't stay on topic. Your trolling is weak, pal.
lucm, indeed.
Look, nobody forced you to make yourself look bad. You could have honestly responded. You chose not to do so. You made that decision.
You're just proving me right. Thank you, again.
Since the government is not supposed to sponsor any religion, it is appropriate to defund government support of the climate change religion. All religions have heretics, so the climate change religion can denounce Trump as a heretic as they have done with all those who do not believe in and support climate change.
I can't believe that we are going to have to go through this again. Didn't we learn anything from when George Bush was president?
Someone is asking how she can respect her father, knowing that he voted for Trump. What kind of person can get that far in their brainwash? That's the kind of question people would ask in Hitler Youth.
This is probably the dumbest thing I have read on here this week. You can't see how a daughter might have a hard time respecting her father after he votes for a known misogynist and sexual predator? It's "brainwashing" to condemn people who support that? If you honestly think Trump's behavior is acceptable or tolerable in any form it's you who has been brainwashed.
Next 4 years will be [b]very interesting[/b]! Prepare truckloads of pop corn, and possibly a nuclear shelter with truckloads of canned beans, tomatos, and powdered milk and potatos. Don't forget the liquids of some kind, too, as the water will be too polluted.

Just remember Mr. Right Wing dumb ass, you're on the same planet as everyone else. Even if it is another universe.
So, Trump (the Tangerine Buffooni bird) thinks that taking a political stance to end another political perspective is achieving clarity? We have not only elected a nitwit, but a blind one at that. Look at the political leaders who have eliminated perspectives that don't agree with theirs. They are called demagogues initially, but they become dictators. A dictator is someone that wants everybody to agree with everything that they say--whether there is any validity to it or not. Trump is a thin-skinned, humorless and petty man whose brain is AS SMALL AS HIS FINGERS.
