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.
Loving all the crying from the grifters who do nothing but promote left-wing propaganda using taxpayer money.
Let them Harvest Soybeans.
Bwaha1 Lolgf Losers!
MAGA47 Motherfuckers!
Authoritarian governments often suppress information they don’t favor. Do you believe Russians, Chinese and North Koreans have access to scientific information their governments don’t like? LOL.
It’s unlikely that the Earth will stop warming just because Stoopid Donnie and his cult of ignorance doesn’t believe it.
It’s unlikely communicable diseases will pack up and go just because you deny that vaccines work.
He has shut down communications from the FDA, NIH, CDC, NSF etc. Communication is the lifeblood of science. Blocking communication is the lifeblood of authoritarians.
Should Trumpian politicos approve all grants and publications?
Got any more rhetoricals there, Rimjob?

Perhaps the distinguished Mr Dowd hasn’t realized it yet, but this fine site, on which he comments frequently, was very opposed to the previous Administration, yet the government didn’t close it down. The other side of that coin is that the credentialed media, much more visible than this, were not shut down during Mr Trump’s first term, and won’t be this time either, though The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, CNN, and others and shedding employees because they haven’t been making money; that part was a problem during the Biden Administration.
One thing is obvious: shutting down propaganda about
global warming,/strike> climate change on government websites does not stop Mr Dowd or any like-minded individuals from publishing and promoting their beliefs privately.Mr Teach typed: The grift will not continue under President Trump.
OMG. The King of Grift will extract billions for him, his family and his buddies, unlike any grift you’ve ever seen!! His plan is to eliminate the federal income tax, and rely on regressive tariffs (paid by the buyers!!) and regressive state and local taxes!!
We understand that MAGAts are in love with Big Donnie, to the point of worshipping him, but he’s fucking the working class without lube.
Oh well, at least gas and groceries are cheap. Bought eggs lately?
Got any proof, fat boy?
Fats,
Egg prices are a legacy of biden
“Logic” that only could come from liberals-the same people whining about alleged increased costs due to tariffs are the same people that don’t want Trump’s 2017 tax cuts to be extended.
“Authoritarian governments often suppress information…”
Why yes-platforms that banned/restricted Trump under Biden: Reddit, Twitch, Shopify, Twitter, Google, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, Apple, Discord, Pinterest.
Trump recently won a 25 million dollar settlement against Facebook for censoring in 2021.
Please tell us again about “authoritarian governments”..
