The Mercers, Trump mega-donors, back group that casts doubt on climate science, Washington Post “Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Tex.), chairman of the House science committee, who issued a subpoena to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientists over a study finding that there had been no slowdown or pause in global warming, told the group that it’s time for “good science, rather than politically correct science.” Steven Milloy, publisher of JunkScience.com, said […]

Diehard Coders Just Rescued NASA’s Earth Science Data, Wired “Like similar groups across the country – in more than 20 cities – they believe that the Trump administration might want to disappear this data down a memory hole. So these hackers, scientists, and students are collecting it to save outside government servers. But now they’re going even further. Groups like DataRefuge and the Environmental Data and Governance Initiative, which organized […]

Scientists are frantically copying U.S. climate data, fearing it might vanish under Trump, Washington Post “Climate data from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have been politically vulnerable. When Tom Karl, director of the National Centers for Environmental Information, and his colleagues published a study in 2015 seeking to challenge the idea that there had been a global warming “slowdown” or “pause” during the 2000s, they relied, in […]

Keith’s note: The next time you read about people on the NASA Transition Team saying that it is not NASA’s job to conduct Earth science research – or wondering why NASA supports space commerce – just remind them: its the law. If they want proof then direct them to “National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, Pub. L. No. 85-568, 72 Stat. 426-438 (Jul. 29, 1958) As Amended”.

NASA chief slaps down climate sceptic senator Malcolm Roberts: ‘You hold a number of misconceptions’, North Queensland Register “A senior NASA official has taken the extraordinary step of personally rejecting the claims of One Nation senator Malcolm Roberts that the agency had falsified key data to exaggerate warming in the Arctic.

Massive Blizzard Heads Up U.S. East Coast “NASA-NOAA’s Suomi NPP satellite snapped this image of the approaching blizzard around 2:35 a.m. EST on Jan. 22, 2016 using the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument’s Day-Night band.”

Climate Denialists In Congress Acting As NASA’s Kryptonite, NPR “But even with the broader effort, the emphasis on NASA seems particularly pointed.
