If I’m to understand correctly, they could go get a job in the private sector. Or, start their own business, get their own funding
Scientists brace ‘for the worst’ as Trump purges climate mentions from websites
Donald Trump’s administration has started to remove or downgrade mentions of the climate crisis across the US government, with the websites of several major departments pulling down references to anything related to the climate crisis. Climate scientists said they were braced “for the worst”.
A major climate portal on the Department of Defense’s website has been scrapped, as has the main climate change section on the site of the Department of State. A climate change page on the White House’s website no longer exists, nor does climate content provided by the US agriculture department, including information that provides vulnerability assessments for wildfires.
An entire section on “climate and sustainability” hosted by the Department of Transportation has now vanished, with the department’s new leadership also ordering the elimination of any policy positions, directives or funding “which reference or relate in any way to climate change, ‘greenhouse gas’ [sic] emissions, racial equity, gender identity, ‘diversity, equity and inclusion’ goals, environmental justice or the Justice40 initiative”.
Sean Duffy, the US transportation secretary, said the administration is focused on “eliminating excessive regulations that have hindered economic growth, increased costs for American families, and prioritized far-left agendas over practical solutions”.
I’ve left all the links in so you can seem them down. The grift will not continue under President Trump. The DOD should concern itself with defending the U.S., with training their members, with not crashing into civilian airplanes. The State Department should concern itself with it’s core mission, same with the rest of the federal agencies. Do their job, not get involved with an unscientific cult.
Some researchers have found that their own studies, from ocean carbon cycles to the connectivity of cleaner electrical grids, have now vanished from federal government websites. Critics say the actions will stifle the public’s understanding of the climate crisis amid record-breaking temperatures and a wave of storms and wildfires that are being worsened by the burning of fossil fuels.
Their studies paid for by the citizens of the U.S., meant to make sure these same cult researchers continue to get paid way too much to do more research.
“We should plan for the worst,” said Michael Mann, a climate scientist at the University of Pennsylvania. “The keys to the car have been given to the polluters and fossil fuel plutocrats and they intend to drive it off the climate cliff.”
The government should not be your feeding trough nor a way to force citizens to comply with your cult. Go buy your own car.
“A plan for a modern-day book-burning is not a plan for American families,” Ben Jealous, executive director of the Sierra Club, said of the website deletions. “By stripping taxpayers from having the ability to access life-saving websites and information, websites and information paid for by taxpayers, Donald Trump will be putting families across the country in peril.”
If the scam Sierra Club, which was once a good guardian of true environmentalism, wants to have websites and info, have at it. Let them pay. Government agencies need to perform their core mission, not deviate into doomsday cult activism, scamlighting, and authoritarianism.
