Related: About this forum"I Was Just Forced to Resign from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory": Climate Scientist Peter Kalmus
We continue to follow the impact of the Trump administrations ongoing assault on scientific research in the United States with an update from climate scientist Peter Kalmus, who says he has been forced to resign from NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) after 15 years at his dream job. In an immense loss to the governments capacity to monitor and assess atmospheric conditions, the JPL has lost about 30% of its staff since President Trump took office for the second time, says Kalmus, who warns that the dismantling of federally funded scientific infrastructure comes as rising global temperatures put the Earth in extreme danger. Were on this escalator towards warmer and warmer and warmer temperatures, and world leaders are not doing anything about it.

... dumber (with a "b"
than a bag of hammers. He truly thought that not counting COVID cases and subsequent deaths would mean a better "look" for him. The all-important "LOOK" is all that has ever mattered to him, and substance be damned.
