1. Trump’s plan to cut climate research
Nasa’s Earth science division, which does world-renowned research into temperature, ice, clouds and other climate phenomena, is set to be stripped of funding in favor of exploration of deep space, a senior Trump adviser told the Guardian.
Summary
Bob Walker, a senior Trump campaign adviser, told the Guardian’s Oliver Milman that there was no need for Nasa to do what he has previously described as “politically correct environmental monitoring”.
'Necessary but'
My guess is that it would be difficult to stop all ongoing Nasa programs but future programs should definitely be placed with other agencies. I believe that climate research is necessary but it has been heavily politicized, which has undermined a lot of the work that researchers have been doing. Mr Trump’s decisions will be based upon solid science, not politicized science.
