The Trump administration turns the flag against itself

Jujitsu nonsense, but is it honest? In some cases, it is difficult to say. In other cases, it seems likely that scientific illiteracy will serve a cover for revenge. This week, the Ministry of Commerce canceled Federal support for three Princeson University initiatives that focused on climate research. The stated reason for one of these programs: “This cooperative agreement enhances the threats of exaggerated and unreasonable climate, which contributes to a phenomenon known as” climate anxiety “, which has increased significantly among the youth of America.”

Trade Department, you are very close! The climate anxiety among young people is definitely something to be searched. Telling them to close their eyes and stick their fingers in their ears while the world is not the best way to treat them. If you think that their stress in the climate is now bad, you just have to wait until half of Miami is underwater.

There are two important pieces of a wider context here. The first is that Donald Trump does not believe in climate change, and therefore his management continues as if it was not present. Second, the President of Princeton University Christopher Eisengerperbuber had a boldness Suggest The federal government does not routinely dispose of academic institutions under the guise of stopping anti -Semitism. Two weeks later, the Trump administration stopped dozens of research grants to Princeton, which reached a total of hundreds of millions of dollars. Now, “climate anxiety”.

This is all against the background of a government who are senior health officials Robert F. Kennedy Junior and Muhammad OzTwo men, in varying degrees, have built their professional lives that they wandered in a non -scientific Mala Marky. The Trump administration has made it clear that it will not stop when scientific research was destroyed and its deterioration in the United States. It will also distort, misrepresent it, and puts it to achieve the endless endless ends.

These terrible wolves will not solve anything; It will not be re -submitted to the wilderness, it will not help reduce the population of deer and the AIs.

But burial in this announcement was something that could make a difference. It turned out that the tremendous cloning also a number of red wolves – a decisive species of extinction but not to a large extent – with the aim of increasing the genetic diversity between the population. It does not keep a kind of human wiping. It helps one is alive.
