In reply to the discussion: 🌎 Trump is dismantling the entire (900 instrument) O. O. I. Ocean Monitoring System [View all]lapfog_1
(32,033 posts)30. I spent years of my life at NASA
collecting data like this... mostly from satellites ( ocean surface temps, ice data, land vegetation data, ocean data from instruments like these collected via satellites, ship reports, etc ).
This was all part of the overall MTPE ( Mission To Planet Earth ) and the EOS ( Earth Observation System ). Specifically, EOSDIS was "my baby".
Was a back bencher to Al Gore when he would chair the meetings ( back bencher to my center director ).
10 years worth of climate data... I believe they have scrubbed it all... and this is part of now dismantling the data instruments.
I hate these people with the heat of a thousand suns.
Ignoring the data will not change anything. The planet is still warming. Humans are the cause.

OP
Scientifically collected data is not red or blue it is just data that if it holds up that can lead to conclusions*

And I almost forgot, the other baggage the Repugs really like to harp about.

This dismantling isn't something the next Dem Administration can just reverse.

Like shutting down Covid-19 testing so the numbers look better than they actually are.
