Climate Science in the US
Posted: 24 Jan 2017, 23:27Currently becoming a dying art.
On the Climate news. Government staff are being blocked from talking to the media or other areas of the government. Climate scientists are manically backing up decades of data, terrabytes of it, in case it somehow "vanishes". Most of the climate data from Obama's white house website has summarily been moved to the Oldwhitehouse site and replaced with information about how fossil fuels help grow business.
I remember when Michael Mann stepped up and said that the Bush Administration were interfering in science to the detriment of humanity. It seems that Trump's team were more organised, have moved faster and are a damned sight more ruthless.
Hey ho. We're so screwed anyway that 8 years of TrumpTruth on Climate won't make that much difference. However it might just change some attitudes as the news comes out.
