Five reasons Why Cutting NASA's Climate Research Would Be A Colossal
Mistake

Will President Trump really slash funding of NASA's “politicised”
climate change science? It certainly has been politicised, but not
by the scientists ....That is what must irk Trump’s team of
sceptics. NASA’s organisations such as the Goddard Institute for
Space Studies and Jet Propulsion Laboratory have made seminal
contributions to our understanding of how humans are changing the
Earth’s climate. All funded by the US taxpayer....
De-funding NASA’s climate change science is effectively sticking
your fingers in your ears and whistling Dixie. The Earth’s climate
is indifferent to politics and will continue to respond to human
emissions of greenhouse gases. All that would happen is US
leadership in this area would end, with the risk that not just
America but humanity would be the loser....
Specifically, here are five reasons why de-funding (aka wilfully
destroying) NASA’s climate change research would be colossally
stupid....
*1. NASA’s satellites are our eyes on our world*
*2. Climate science is a key part of NASA’s mission*
*3. NASA attracts the best of the best*
*4. NASA has transformed climate change communication*
*5. Climate science can be NASA’s next great legacy*

*'Shockingly Stupid': Trump's Attack on Climate Research
<https://portside.org/2016-11-26/shockingly-stupid-trumps-attack-climate-research>*
Scrapping NASA's Earth sciences program "could put us back into the
'dark ages' of almost the pre-satellite era. It would be extremely
short sighted," Kevin Trenberth, senior scientist at the National
Center for Atmospheric Research, told the Guardian.
Michael Mann, a climate scientist at Penn State University, also
commented to the newspaper: "Without the support of NASA, not only
the U.S. but the entire world would be taking a hard hit when it
comes to understanding the behavior of our climate and the threats
posed by human-caused climate change."

- from D.R. Tucker *
November 27, 2014: The New York Times reports:
"President Obama could leave office with the most aggressive,
far-reaching environmental legacy of any occupant of the White
House. Yet it is very possible that not a single major environmental
law will have passed during his two terms in Washington.
"Instead, Mr. Obama has turned to the vast reach of the Clean Air
Act of 1970, which some legal experts call the most powerful
environmental law in the world. Faced with a Congress that has shut
down his attempts to push through an environmental agenda, Mr. Obama
is using the authority of the act passed at the birth of the
environmental movement to issue a series of landmark regulations on
air pollution, from soot to smog, to mercury and planet-warming
carbon dioxide."
