Because it happens slowly according to human standards, only affects people in backwater island/coastal countries, and actually fixing the issue would massively change the way contemporary human society works. It's a huge hassle.This should be being covered by the media nonstop and frighten the shit out of people, but alas, no one seems to care about the single biggest threat facing the human species.
I'll never understand why people are so willfully ignorant and dismissive about climate change.
If that isn't gutted too : /NOAA save us.
This is just one shoe to drop. What the commerce dept. is going to do to NOAA is going to make us all weep.
Lol.
People voted for this. Because both sides were the same.
Fucking morons.
Walker, however, claimed that doubt over the role of human activity in climate change is a view shared by half the climatologists in the world. We need good science to tell us what the reality is and science could do that if politicians didnt interfere with it.
if politicians didnt interfere with it
If that isn't gutted too : /
All I can say is that I'm not going to have a pow-wow and sit down with the racist "economically anxious" fools who voted in the man who'll allow their towns to be ravaged by dustbowls, Category 5 hurricanes, and unprecedented floods.
I mean, such a policy will set us back decades.
Human apathy is a hell of a thing.
I wonder if building Golf courses make you hate environmental protection, would that be a conflict of interest?
I know it doesn't help if we antagonize them, but seriously, fuck Trump voters. 'Morons' doesn't even begin to characterize them.

Welp, as a climate scientist whose work involves analyzing Landsat satellite imagery to monitor vegetation growth patterns due to climate change this is very bad news...
This has got to be the most hypocritical statement of all time."We need good science to tell us what the reality is and science could do that if politicians didnt interfere with it.
I think people are still not quite accepting he's in yet. It's still a denial/bargaining sorta thing. "He's not so bad."laughing at the fuckers who took his word when speaking to the NYT.
though I can't wait for america to blame liberals again when everyone's scrambling to place climate refugees (They should have done something about it! My secret plan will save us all!)
It does give me hope, yes. I'm just worried climatolgical reasearch is going to be cut. I've seen senators ask why NASA, NOAA,etc needs to do climate reasarch, lol.I think NOAA will be fine, and NASA for the most part should be okay (barring this idiotic decision). Repubs in Texas and other Gulf states know how important NOAA is during hurricane season and Texas senators/congressman typically go to bat for NASA.
This. My company has a foot in earth science and solar system/planetary science. I'm not directly involved in earth sciences, but I know many people who are. This is going to suck bigly!As someone who works for NASA's Earth Science Division; absolutely not. An absolutely shit ton of research and thousands of scientists outputs if not jobs. There's a possibility I may not be able to get paid/layed off if these cuts take place.
NASA does a ton of good work outside of space travel/exploration. Trump wants to take that away. Fuck him, he's a shitstain.
Wait so we can just find a new Earth instead?
Based Trump.

Maybe Musk could talk him into his plan to heave nukes at Mars. The fuck do we have to lose at this point?Deep space research? Sounds like terraforming research to me.
I'm going to be a science jackass right now and say that, actually, rising sea levels will cause salt water inundation around the mouth of the Potomac. So technically he's adding more water while killing anything living there. The Lincoln Reflecting Pool was already rebuilt in 2009 so it used fresh tap water instead of tidal basin water, in fact!So that's how he plans to drain the swamp! Dry up all the water!
If he really can find another planet then it's not as important to save this one. But we should find the new one first. Like finding a new job before you shit on your manager's desk.
It's their way of undermining the integrity of scientific fact/evidence. Of casting doubt in people's minds that what experts tell them isn't to be trusted."Politically correct environmental monitoring"
"Politicized Science"
What the fuck does that even mean? If this is all accurate then just fuck me and fuck everything. Why does the human race hate itself so much :/

"A 2016 paper - co-authored by Naomi Oreskes, Peter Doran, William Anderegg, Bart Verheggen, Ed Maibach, J. Stuart Carlton and John Cook - based on a half a dozen independent studies by the authors - reported that 90%100% of climate scientists who publish in peer-reviewed journals, had consensus that climate change can be attributed to human activity.[2]"
