Scientists Are Preparing For Trump To Erase Climate Change Data From Government Websites

Researchers Are Preparing for Trump to Delete Government Science From the Web

When Donald Trump takes over the federal government on January 21, his administration will also gain complete control over much of the .gov suite of websites, which currently hosts a treasure trove of publicly available, taxpayer-funded scientific research. The academic world is bracing itself: Will that data remain available after his transition?

Scientists and university professors all around the country and in Canada believe we’re about to see widespread whitewashing and redaction of already published, publicly available taxpayer-funded scientific research, databases, and interactive tools, such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Sea Level Rise viewer, NASA’s suite of climate change apps, and the Environmental Protection Agency’s maps of the country’s worst polluters. They also expect to see censorship, misrepresentation, and minimization of new government-funded research, specifically regarding climate change.

These fears are not based merely on a sense of dreading-the-worst from a man who has called climate change a Chinese hoax, nominated a climate change denier with close ties to the fossil fuel industry as head of the EPA, the CEO of ExxonMobil as Secretary of State, and will reportedly name the fossil fuel-friendly Rick Perry asSecretary of Energy. During the George W. Bush administration, which similarly denied that climate change is being caused by humans, there was widespread censorship and destruction of public-facing climate change information and research.

“Policies and practices have increasingly restricted the flow of scientific information emerging from publicly-funded climate change research,” a 138-page reportpublished in March 2007 by the Government Accountability Project begins. “This has affected the media’s ability to report on the science, public officials’ capacity to respond with appropriate policies, and the public’s grasp of an environmental issue with profound consequences for our future.”

The investigation found that the Bush administration systematically changed scientists’ press releases, misrepresented scientific findings to Congress, and neglected or deleted information on government websites.

This is scary stuff. Since taxpayers have already paid for this information it should be protected and made freely available to the public.

yay. its about time.

A must see video from an MIT Atmospheric Physicist (it's safe to say he has the "pedigree" that that the left worships):

Ah. Lindzen. I like the way you depend on a scientist whose statements have been shown to bear little relation to reality. Kudos. You have let your lyin' eyes deceive you. Way to go.

Comparison of the observed NASA temperature record (black) with temperature predictions from Dr. James Hansen's 1988 modeling study (red), and with my reconstructed temperature prediction by Dr. Richard Lindzen based on statements from his talk at MIT in 1989 (blue). Hansen's Scenario B projection has been adjusted to reflect the actual observed greenhouse gas concentrations since 1988.

To RaTz global cooling, global warming and now climate change is a religion. They worship at whatever altar they are told to...mindless...lemmings...prancing to their RaT piper. Write a few hymns, then crucify yourselves and give the rest of us a break.

 

[Locke11_21]

Even if that happens, it's nowhere near as bad as when Obama used the IRS to harass political opposition.

 

[P@triot]

It's disgusting how the left falsifies data to achieve the outcome they desire...

 

[cnm]

global warming and now climate change is a religion.

No, religion depends on faith, belief without evidence, usually a rightard trick.

AGW depends on evidence. But don't believe your lyin' eyes whatever you do.

It's disgusting how the left falsifies data to achieve the outcome they desire...

Woo hoo! So what if it's 90% of scientists who discuss global warming instead of 97%? It's still the vast majority and it is the scientific consensus, to which there is always refuseniks, always. No worries.

When you adjust data to achieve the desired outcome...that is not evidence. It is fallacy...it is a lie...it is the democratic party. Have a great evening my fellow Great Americans. For your listening pleasure...tis the season:

No, that's an aluminium foil hat delusion from one totally ignorant of scientific data collection.

edit...I've collected a reasonable amount of environmental scientific data. Not one piece of data was not adjusted or normalised or factored. You are talking from ignorance.

They already did that to hide the data that shows we aren't warming......

 

[2aguy]

It was called Climate-Gate...when left wing scientists destroyed data to hide the fact that men are not creating warming...or cooling....

But as the video said - what exactly are they agreeing on? That carbon emissions contributes 0.00000000000001% to temperature change? And that at that rate, it would take 60 billion years for it to matter?

Notice how that lying jerk-off progressive included papers in which he assumed the scientists agree.

You mean settled science junk data....liberals already erased all the real data....

It means that Trump hasn't done anything or said,anything. The Democrats needed to make an itch to scratch.

Actually it's your hero who has been shown to be living in an alternate reality. Funny how you show the graph and Lindzens line is the ACTUAL record, whereas Hansens are the ones that are totally off base. So, are you just a lying sack of poo or do you really not understand what you are reading?

RWrs should be the ones living on the coastlines.

Those are all mostly left-wingers. Who STILL are buying beach properties. Like Al Gore.

 

[flacaltenn]

We can only hope he undoes this fraud science.

Please do not believe your lyin' eyes.

Data.GISS: GISS Surface Temperature Analysis: Analysis Graphs and Plots

This does not agree with the satellite record since 1979. It's been cooked at NASA GISS, and if any scientists are WORRIED -- it would be because their little temperature cooking meth labs are about to be busted.

There used to be PERFECT agreement between satellites and the cruder 10,000 thermometer crap that GISS uses. Told you this in another thread. They started LOWERING the 30s and 40s and raising the 2000s just about 14 years ago. The 1998 El Nino event is barely even visible anymore. USED TO BE THERE..

SOME "scientists" SHOULD be worried. The jig is about up. And the crazy train is pulling into the station.

 

[whitehall]

Actually it seems that the global change "scientists" are desperate to erase their own fraudulent junk before they are investigated and indicted by the Trump administration.

Well, yes. Him too.
