The Trump administration’s planned cuts would end 53 planned or ongoing NASA Science missions
The Artemis II mission and its successful return to Earth have, for now, brought the American public’s attention back to NASA and its aspirational mission to push the boundaries of humanity into space.
Achieving those goals costs billions, but the Office of Management and Budget under Donald Trump’s administration is planning deep cuts to NASA’s budget.
Famed science communicator and teacher Bill Nye has described Trump’s planned cuts as “surprising, illogical, and very troubling” in a new op-ed for MS NOW.
“These cuts would be an insult to our astronauts and entire NASA workforce. Astronauts and their colleagues are civil servants who work hard, accomplish nearly impossible things and represent our country to the world,” he wrote.
So all of those stronger hurricanes in the US in the Golf of Mexico, stronger winter storms in the Midwest and northeast, droughts in the west, actual data showing ice shelves receding, higher average temperatures in Europe, record breaking temperatures in the Middle East and India…
All of that is bullshit, huh?
We have better record keeping now.
Comparing to before (say 75 or 100 years ago)is pointless
Oh yep nobody new how to write anything above 40 in the old days. Your an idiot.
In the old days they probably recorded the temperature as to what it felt like outside.
“Well Joan, it feels like it’s 85 degrees out today… write that down”
And then that was the recorded temp that day
The data recorded in the last 10-20 years show large rises, too. Even if I agreed with your assessment of “old data can’t be trusted because we had worse measurement capabilities then”, there is evidence right now showing short term, meteoric rises, too. And all of that data points to human driven climate change.
