    The nazis did the same. They denied science like physics and instead created "their own" physics that pleased their agenda. I'm just waiting for the day when fake science is adopted to US curriculum.

    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.

    How are they supposed to continue denying global warming if there’s all these monitoring systems in place to track it all

    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?

    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.

    In Trump's rotted brain, if you don't see facts that look bad, then they don't exist. Like with covid deaths, remember?

    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

    Rename the ocean monitoring system to the oceanic data center. They’ll throw billions at it.

    Hope this isn't because they think data coming in will show an increased likelihood of a Gulfstream collapse or anything

    You just know there's another use for them, like submarine detection or something.
