Lemme guess: They'll gut it like a fish (pun not intended), and when the courts finally get around to stopping them, it'll be too late to have saved anything.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

It’s already too late, at this point they’re just destroying our ability to monitor and produce models so we know exactly how bad what’s coming will be, when exactly and where, but there’s no stopping it.
I mean, there is a way to stop it, but it involves some stuff that's illegal to talk about.
Whyyyy. It's peanuts in the US budget.
How are they supposed to continue denying global warming if there’s all these monitoring systems in place to track it all
Trump on COVID: "If we stop counting, we'd have fewer cases."
Yeah, and the American electorate went " sure, makes sense "
Idk, they seem to do great already, even with the mountains of evidence we ready have. I mean are we just going to start torching national forrest? Pouring oil in the lakes for storage? Painting the rocks with nuclear waste?
“Write that down, write that down!”
Because when it goes to get rebuilt in the future it'll be done by his rich buddies that own the companies. Follow the money, it's all about who does the work with this guy, how can they get the most tax dollars from programs?
Trump can draw his own stuff with a Sharpie.
Day by day, he's diminishing America.
And the whole world with shit like this
20 years of funding = 1 day of fighting Iran for Israel
Not even... It's like 1/3 of one day (going on the $1 billion per day figure).
It's also like ~1/6th of that stupid slush fund.
Literally robbing our future.
Follow the money. Some Trump insider is getting rich off of this.
I’m guessing it’s deep sea mining companies
Guess again
Waste, fraud, and abuse
I so wish that people could slow-walk any of the edicts from this would-be king and not actually implement any of it.
Conservatives should never be allowed into office, at any level of government, JFC.
They ruin everything.
It's pretty much their exact aim.
"Government doesn't work! Elect us, and we'll PROVE it!!"
I wish super hurricanes destroy Maralago and all his fucking golf courses.
He destroys everything he touches.
The merdes touch.
In Trump's rotted brain, if you don't see facts that look bad, then they don't exist. Like with covid deaths, remember?
It was gone by Easter, according to the Ministry of Truth.
Well that must be true then - I mean it's right there in the name. They aren't called the Ministry of Blatant Bullshit, after all.
What covid deaths? Pretty sure that's fake news.
Oh silly me, I meant Clovis, a 22 year old black man from Detroit.
/s of course
Michael England, a spokesman for the National Science Foundation, said the decision to dismantle the network, known as the Ocean Observatories Initiative, “aligns with N.S.F.’s wider strategy to have a nimbler approach to prioritizing support for evolving scientific priorities and emerging technologies as well as a deliberate approach to smart life cycle management within its portfolio of research infrastructure.”
What a bunch of bullshit
The wikipedia page of the program that is being cancelled: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_Observatories_Initiative
He should just nuke his own country. Might as well.
probably be less destructive than what he wants to do..
If you plug your ears hard enough, climate change doesn't exist. /s
Russia will be pleased.
Why? Because they can! evil laugh
Take that, AMOC.
