Do we really need it? Per Cult of Climastrology dogma doom would be cancelled if each Believer stopped using fossil fuels and made their lives carbon neutral
Trump administration says it won’t publish major climate change reports on NASA website as promised
The Trump administration on Monday took another step to make it harder to find major, legally mandated scientific assessments of how climate change is endangering the nation and its people.
Earlier this month, the official government websites that hosted the authoritative, peer-reviewed national climate assessments went dark. Such sites tell state and local governments and the public what to expect in their backyards from a warming world and how best to adapt to it. At the time, the White House said NASA would house the reports to comply with a 1990 law that requires the reports, which the space agency said it planned to do.
But on Monday, NASA announced that it aborted those plans.
“The USGCRP (the government agency that oversees and used to host the report) met its statutory requirements by presenting its reports to Congress. NASA has no legal obligations to host globalchange.gov’s data,” NASA Press Secretary Bethany Stevens said in an email. That means no data from the assessment or the government science office that coordinated the work will be on NASA, she said.
Sad trombones. What is done with that assessment? More fearmongering and more requests for government money to do more research to uphold cult principles.
And you know who cares? Virtually no one except those whose prestige and money depends on it. The average American couldn’t care less.

Indigenous Australians lose climate change case against government
An Australian federal court ruled Tuesday that Indigenous residents of the Torres Strait Islands are not owed environmental protections from the nation’s government.
Justice Michael Wigney said in his dismissal that “changes wrought by the escalating impacts of global warming and climate change in the Torres Strait have had, and continue to have, a devastating impact on the traditional way of life of Torres Strait Islanders.”
However, he concluded that the case brought by island community elders Pabai Pabai and Paul Kabai “failed because the law in Australia as it currently stands provides no real or effective avenue through which the applicants were able to pursue their claims.”
Wigney further explained that current common Australian law is not written in a way that the plaintiffs could seek relief in regard to what they considered a failure of the federal government.
Wow, a judge who actually looks at the law as written by the duly elected legislative branch. I guess the islanders aren’t going to get their free money.
