Trump White House axes Nasa research into greenhouse gas cuts

NASA monitors earth’s environment from space with equipment, capabilities and science that the EPA does not have. The information tells us about glacial movement, decline and buildup. Weather events, such as hurricanes, can more accurately be tracked. Various measurements, such as sea levels and carbon emissions/content, can be taken in designated areas to track patterns developing. All this helps determine possible impacts that could affect our environment and climate, including where the world should be looking in the near future for planting crops as current areas go dry, critical in our survival.

I believe what NASA does in these and other areas are of benefit to mankind. What do you think?

We can post facts forever. No one will care on the right until its too late. And then they'll just say it's Armageddon. They'll say that it's Jesus returning.

I have never seen so much foolishness in my life. I'm ****ing sick of it. Are you?

Earth to jesus freaks, when you die, it's just like before you were born. Do you remember what it was like before you were born? Was it scary?

Of course not. When you die, it will be just like before you were born- nothing. It's not scary or painful. It's just nothing.

You can believe you're going to heaven or whatever. I'm not going to argue with you.

To me, I am not going to waste one second being alive.

Another example of Trump's anti-environmental blowhard rhetoric. His pal, Pruitt, just reversed Lower Emission standards for automobiles, despite the fact that cities throughout the US exceed EPA guidelines for Ozone and Particulate pollution. They are actually doing the reverse of their job description!

Here's a fact you'll ignore leek, there are over 350 signatories to the PCA. It costs 10million a year to monitor green house gas emissions PCA compliance standards. Let the signatories foot the the bill. That's less than $30,000 per sig per year, pocket change. Tell em to get with it, times a wastin.

Many people wallow in their own ignorance with a sense of disdainful pride of facts, science and knowledge when such says something different than or especially refutes their own beliefs (aka claims) that are unsupported by evidence and only by blind faith.

Still, I will continue to refute those falsehoods with facts because others with open minds do gain knowledge, as do I when researching a topic to make a reply and get my facts straight. After all, this is a debate forum wherein claims, opinions as they may be, require supporting factual evidence or are refuted and the respective debate point lost. When I am corrected or refuted, I acknowledge it for something I’ve learned from another that I would otherwise have gone on ignorant of and professing that ignorance. I rarely see posters acknowledge what others say is right and what they themselves said is wrong. Ego, ego, ego.

Many years ago, I read a book called Management by Harold Geneen, who was once the controller (top dog) of the then most powerful company in the world, ITT. He related a story of a reporter asking him if alcohol use by managers had the greatest negative effect on their best performance as managers and leaders. He said no, it was, without doubt, ego. That applies to presidents of nations, too.

I know exactly what death is like because I experienced what is the same sensation of death. I ask people if they’ve ever been under general anesthesia during surgery, unconscious. Whenever someone says yes, I say that’s what death is going to be like except you never wake-up.
 
Trump White House axes Nasa research into greenhouse gas cuts - BBC News

President Donald Trump's administration has quietly axed US space agency Nasa's monitoring system into greenhouse gases, a US journal has revealed.

The Carbon Monitoring System (CMS), a $10m (£7m)-a-year project which remotely tracks the world's flow of carbon dioxide, is to lose funding.
==============================================
Now I'm convinced that Tillerson was right when he called Trump a moron. I think he was just being kind.

I wonder how many people this will put out of work.
 
That's not NASA's job anyway, may the EPA or NOAA. Time for them to worry about space.

Agencies do work in conjunction with each other...saves $ for one thing...rather than each agency developing the necessary technology or hiring experts.

Seems reasonable that NASA would have technologies and resources to do some of that monitoring and research.

Yeah, well they weren't just helping out. It had become their mission.

Yep, exactly!
