Trumpled Science 0

Wilbur Ross instructs government scientists:  Per the administration, Dorian threatened Alabama, nukes can stop hurricanes, climate change is a Chinese hoax, Mars is part of the moon, windmills cause cancer, it's smart to stare directly at an eclipse, the sun revolves around the Earth, Pluto's a dog, and our top priority is figuring out Goofy . . . .

Consensus Census Con 0

Mike Littwin takes a deep-dive into the Trump Administration’s changing rationales for adding a citizenship question to the census. A snippet:

When Trump was asked why he was so insistent in pursuing the citizenship question, he offered up various possibilities, saying, “Number one, you need it for Congress — you need it for Congress for districting (sic). You need it for appropriations — where are the funds going? How many people are there? Are they citizens? Are they not citizens? You need it for many reasons.”

Oops. Redistricting? Number one? That’s what the question’s opponents say it’s about.

Objectiveng to Science 0

At the Bangor Daily News, Basav Sen of the Climate Policy Project at the Institute for Policy Studies outlines the Trump administration’s war on science. A snippet:

Recently, the Department of Energy began referring to natural gas as “freedom gas,” which sounds like something straight out of satire site The Onion. Unintentional humor aside, this choice of terminology resembles the calculated debasement of language by totalitarian states.

Last November, when a report by government scientists contradicted Trump’s position and showed that the United States will suffer devastating consequences from climate change, the president simply declared that reality was irrelevant. “I don’t believe it” was his response.
