What UW is going to miss the most is all the climate scam money
Trump administration pulls plug on UW climate research partnership
The Trump administration has ended a climate research program hosted at the University of Washington that helps communities in the Northwest adapt to extreme heat, drought and other threats from climate change.
The UW’s Climate Impacts Group, which relies on federal support and hosts the program, said in a Thursday statement that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ended its grant award for the research in a Monday letter.
Did they ever consider that it is not a good idea to rely so much on federal taxpayer money? Because administrations change
The program, called the Northwest Climate Resilience Collaborative, has developed a plan to reduce illness and save lives in extreme heat in the wake of the 2021 heat dome, has built an air-quality dashboard to mitigate the health impacts of wildfire smoke and has expanded drinking-water testing and filtration in rural Oregon, among other things.
I made the mistake of reading their plan, which boiled mostly down to “give government lots and lots of power and taxpayer money.” Drinking water? Has nothing to do with ‘climate change’. But, researching, it also calls for more Big Government, this time for rural Oregon which votes Republican, and they want to control.
The Climate Impacts Group has hosted the program since 2021 and funding was set to run through August 2026.
NOAA was a specific target in Project 2025, a conservative blueprint created by the Heritage Foundation and intended for the second Trump administration. The document called the agency “one of the main drivers of the climate change alarm industry.”
Maybe they shouldn’t have been so cultish and dictatorial.
The May 5 letter from the acting director of NOAA’s Grants Management Division states the program funding was axed as “part of efforts to streamline and reduce the cost and size of the Federal Government.”
We don’t need to pay for it. But, hey, if Oregon and Washington state want to, have at it.
Mr Teach typed: Maybe they shouldn’t have been so cultish and dictatorial.
Sounds as if he talking about Donnie and the MAGAts!!
Do Teach and his devotees not see irony?
Trump is obviously defunding the entire global Left. The whole planet left wing was funded by us taxpayers. No wonder democrats fought so hard to keep Trump out of office. He is hitting them personally in the bank accounts.
If only they hadn’t played so dirty since 2016, he might have had a lackluster second term and been forgotten.
