Bummer: Orange Man Bad Ends Funding For Key US Climate (scam) Body

Well, hey, the Warmists in the private sector can pony up and pay for this if they care so much, right?

White House ends funding for key US climate body: ‘No coming back from this’

The White House is ending funding for the body that produces the federal government’s pre-eminent climate report, which summarizes the impacts of rising global temperatures on the United States.

Every four years, the US Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) is required by Congress to release a new national climate assessment to ensure leaders understand the drivers of – and threats posed by – global warming. It is the most comprehensive, far-reaching and up-to-date analysis of the climate crisis, playing a key role in local and national decision making about agriculture, energy production, and land and water use.

The next assessment is due by 2027. But now, Nasa has ended its contract with the consulting firm ICF International, which convened the USGCRP and coordinated the federal agencies that contribute to the quadrennial report.

“There’s really no coming back from this, and it means we are all less informed about climate impacts, and won’t have the most up-to-date information on risks and threats,” said one federal staffer who was engaged in USGCRP activities, and who requested anonymity to avoid retribution. “USGCRP helped me to leverage resources from other agencies for use in my own work. But without these networks, I’m left without a support system and the latest science on climate change.”

The end of the contract, first reported by Politico and confirmed by multiple sources to the Guardian, imperils the federal government’s climate research, say experts.

Well, too bad. Why does it always seem that the US federal government is always outsourcing their work to private companies and NGOs, to the tune of tens of millions (if not more) of taxpayer money? And that companies crash when the money dries up? If the UK Guardian, Politico, and others are so concerned let them pay. And then they can wonder why it costs so much to produce, and where all the money has gone.

The move came one day after the rightwing outlet the Daily Wire published an article attacking ICF International saying the firm was “raking in millions to spread climate doom”. Since its publication, the second worker said they had had a “pit in their stomach”.

Let’s look at that article

While the U.S. Global Change Research Program states on its website that it has a budget of $4.95 billion in 2025, it only lists two full-time employees. So, who’s getting paid to put the massive and consequential report together?

Instead of tackling environmental issues, the Biden Admin spent money on left-wing activist groups.
