I really do not think that people really know what Trump is doing to the USA, the world, --our our health and our well being.

On Trump’s orders, the National Center for Atmospheric Research will be shut down after more than 50 years as a leader in global research on climate science and monitoring. This is what authoritarian science looks like.

1. Doesn't mean he can

I am guessing he can’t

[dem4decades]

2. Problem solved, no more climate change. He's brilliant.

12. Just like his solution to COVID...

... if you stop counting the cases and the deaths, it doesn't make him look so bad. Keep in mind, that what is 'not a good look for him' is all that matters. Those he hurts are just points on the scoreboard.
He's trying to do as much damage, and harm as many people, as he possibly can before Satan calls him home. Which can't happen soon enough.
The magnitude of his malevolence is incomprehensible, and can only be measured in astronomical terms. "Pure, malignant evil" doesn't begin to describe him, or, for that matter, the demonic psychopaths that still support him.

Okay, that's enough. Thinking of that bloated bag of bile is not how I want to spend Christmas Day.

3. This is, pure and simple,

retaliation for Colorado not kowtowing to Flim Flam Man's "pardon" and demands to release the convicted felon Tina Peters who is serving a 9 year prison sentence for her crimes during the 2020 elections, there is no doubt in my mind.

Colorado, don't give in to this tyrant's illegal demands, hold steady and keep Tina in a Colorado prison where she belongs.

11. And his calling Colorado governor Jared Polis "incompetent" and "a sleaze bag"

Is just pure Trumpian projection.

13. We are doing all we can MCE

The REAL crimes she personally orchestrated, and executed are being downplayed by the Republican Mass Media.........The Republican Party was not after the "voting records" to look for democrat voting fraud, as they have portrayed........they were after the software installed in all the voting machines, obviously so the Republican Party could figure out a way to corrupt the software programming on the voting machines in BLUE states.......(shades of the EIS? voting machines and other things the Republicans were covertly able to use especially in the 2000 and 2004 elections, and most likely in the 2016 election in which they also used Putin and the NRA to help with)
I suspect that Elon's knowledge of computers had something to do with the outcome of the 2024 election, especially in the swing states.......(recall that Trump verbally gave Elon high praise at numerous rallies, for Elon's help with computers in winning the 2024
election)......I guess no one thought of what Trump meant by that statement, or a more telling statement by Trump....
"Vote for me this one last time, and you will never have to vote again".............HOLY SHIT............

It is more than apparent that once again Trump, and the Republicans relied on Hitler's statements:
"It matters not WHO the people vote for, but in fact....... Who COUNTS The Votes."

4. Billionaires and politicians know that climate change is real and will devastate the planet.

They don't care.
They don't want any money going to prevention or repair.
All resources belong to them.
And they have their safe hidy holes all planned out.

[popsdenver]

14. All the older Republicans

I have talked with about the climate change, always say the same thing: What do I care, I am going to be gone???????
I guess they don't even care about their children and grand children........

Recently announced by the Colorado Forest Service:

"As a result of the warming and drought being experienced, East of the Continental Divide in Colorado right now, the entire forest of pine trees on the front range will be totally decimated in the next one to three years.........The lack of cold, and lack of moisture will, in fact, drastically accelerate an epidemic of pine beetles that are 100% death to pines in the forest......and the front range from Colorado Springs to Wyoming will die off, and there is no way to control the pine beetles.

That, in turn, will cause horrific, and massive un-controlled "conflagration" rated forest fires, problems with the water supplies to the front range communities, and drastically drop property values and tourism.........
Trump has already shown his lack of help to Colorado and California for problems with Federal help in fighting wildland/forest fires....

On a side note, the IRS has been keeping track of the top 1%ers fleeing the U.S. for Dubai and Scandinavian countries since 2016, and the number of them becoming"ex-pats" has been increasing every year.......

5. Krasnov's gift to the fossil fuel industries so what if the blue whale goes extinct and NYC goes under water.

For 70 years NOAA’s Climate Observatory on Mauna Loa in Hawaii has been the gold
standard for Atmospheric Data and Science other labs around the world are now in
place to take over and record the data. The data is the data it is not red or blue it is not
black or white it is not straight or gay it just is what it is end of story.

Trump megalomania is so malignant that he wants to burn the world down as he shuffles
off his time on earth.

The Keeling Curve is real.

7. After Shitstain Moved To Destroy Key Climate & Weather Lab, CO Senators Destroyed HHS & Defense Appropriations Bill

A potential deal to fund large swaths of the federal government, including the departments of Defense and Health and Human Services, collapsed Thursday night after Colorado senators demanded that Congress stop President Trump’s efforts to dismantle a key climate agency.

A Democratic senator involved in the negotiations over passing a five-bill package of appropriations bills before Christmas said Trump’s attempt to break up a premier weather and climate center based in Boulder, Colo., was like a “stick of dynamite” that exploded any chance of a bipartisan breakthrough on spending.

Colorado Sens. Michael Bennet (D) and John Hickenlooper (D) objected to moving forward with the so-called minibus spending package that, if enacted into law, would result in 85 percent to 90 percent of the federal government being funding through September 2026. “We need to fix this problem,” Bennet said, explaining his opposition to moving forward with the spending package. “We’ll have to work together. We’ll have to work together to figure out how to do this.”

EDIT

Russell Vought, the director of the White House budget office, announced in a post on the social platform X that the NSF “will be breaking up the National Center for Atmospheric Research,” calling it “one of the largest sources of climate alarmism in the country.” That spurred a strong backlash from Senate Democrats. Bennet and Hickenlooper had strong support from other Democrats in their decision to block the spending package unless Republicans agree to ensure the continued operation of the climate center.

Ed. - Fuck you, Russ.

Farmers will be devastated because they won't have any idea what's coming.
