Trump admin is pulling supercomputers out of key weather and climate research center.

 The move is part of the trump administration's 

effort to disassemble the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, one of the world’s top weather and climate research centers, which the admin views as a source of climate change alarmism.

NCAR has been a true, ivory tower of pseudo-intellectual science for decades.

“…weather and climate research center…”

I think Governor Gavin Newsom
should do a little climate research.

He wants CA to go green by alienating very regulated CA refineries that are now exiting the state. $8+/gallon by year end will be no joke.

The fix? CA is shipping in gas from the Bahamas and other places around the world that don't give a hoot about emissions.

So lesson 1 for Governor Newsom’s desire to go green at all costs is, CA is a state, not a planet, please make decisions accordingly.

This is simply making all science political. It is already. Trump supports science to make weapons. AI as a weapon. The problem is that what AI and weapons' work needs to flourish is a broad wide scientific ecosystem. That has been damaged heavily in the last year. It was already quite ineffective. The administration has not fixed the real problems, it just carved pounds of flesh out of science. They also doubled down on a variety of stupid investments (too much supercomputing, not enough thinking and foundational math & physics).

Climate science is a problem for big, powerful, rich businesses. Any issue it finds is a threat to quarterly profits. That science is opposed. Vaccines are the focus of conspiracy theories. So that is attacked. Women's or LBGT health or sexuality research is attacked too. They don't like it. On and on it goes.

Climate change is real and a big deal. That said, climate work has been quite over the top in terms of alarmism. This has hurt its credibility. It has played into the hands of corporate interests who don't care one iota about the future of humanity.

Moss Landing environmental disaster

Wow! Why aren’t these findings and truths, exposed in the mass media? Are these unproven explosion and or fire prone battery storage facilities coming to your neighborhood? Look at the map provided.

“Is the CARB really trying to force all in-state refineries to close?”

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

By scooby
Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Trump is to gut the labs.

By scooby
The budget has a 20% decrease to DOE office of science, 20% cut to NIH. NASA also gets a cut. This will  have a huge negative effect on the lab. Crazy, juts crazy. He also wants to cut NEA and PBS, this may not seem like  a big deal but they get very little money and do great things.

Rumor corner

By scooby
LLNS may have excluded the wrong people in last VSSOP? The exclusions were based on outdated job categories and related skills. ULM are now thinking that in the future, job categories and functional areas will have to be re-defined. The next VSSOP/ISP will be based on the new categories and functional areas. The questions I have are: 1) Why didnt they think of that before the transition. It seems like their style is “change things as you go”. Planning is out the window! 2) Who will give input on the new changes? The next RIF apparently is going to be more lucrative than the VSSOP. Depending on the length of employment, a RIFed person, not only gets their 1 week pay per year of service but also from 30 to 120 days notice, essentially 30 to 120 days pay. Please feel free to comment on the rumors or add new ones you actually heard.
