The Trump administration says it plans to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, which is the nation’s premier atmospheric science center. The center was founded in 1960 and has facilitated generations of breakthroughs in climate and weather science. William Brangham discussed the move with climate scientist Kim Cobb and meteorologist Matthew Cappucci.

      Instigated by someone who won’t live long enough to experience the consequences and allowed to happen by people who have enough money and power to insulate themselves from the worst of it.

      Most of the world is turning to fascism (albeit not equally), so you may want to find another way to cope.

    Don’t forget that the impetus for this came from Trump being mad at Colorado for not accepting his pardon of state crimes.

      How can I not forget some of these insane details? It is like trying to read a book marinated in hamburger juice, the original record has been hopelessly degraded and enriched.

    I’m not even sure it’s stupidity at this point. I think they will do whatever it takes and however much money is required so they can be ‘right’ regardless of consequences.

    Which is strange since the religious fanatics in the WH are apparently going against God’s weather?

      The bible serves the same purpose to these idiots, they claim it is holy in order to get out of doing their homework to understand the world around them as it is. As a result they neither understand the bible nor do they understand nature, just bullshitting.
