The $368 million network of instruments collecting data in both the Atlantic and Pacific has been critical to climate and ocean research.
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
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.
20 years of funding = 1 day of fighting Iran for Israel
If you plug your ears hard enough, climate change doesn’t exist. /s

I wish super hurricanes destroy Maralago and all his fucking golf courses.
In Trump’s rotted brain, if you don’t see facts that look bad, then they don’t exist. Like with covid deaths, remember?
What covid deaths? Pretty sure that’s fake news.
It was gone by Easter, according to the Ministry of Truth.
Day by day, he’s diminishing America.
And the whole world with shit like this
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!”
Trump can draw his own stuff with a Sharpie.
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?
Follow the money. Some Trump insider is getting rich off of this.
I’m guessing it’s deep sea mining companies
Guess again
He destroys everything he touches.
The merdes touch.
Waste, fraud, and abuse
Take that, AMOC.
