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.
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
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!!"
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 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
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..
World cup! And I live in a host city. Fuck
don't worry, probably wont be too bad considering how many people are canceling their tickets and how many venues are worried about not having enough people.
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.
