UK scientists are warning they may be unable to carry out crucial research on climate change if Donald Trump cuts climate science funding in the US.
Trump tweeted in 2014 that research on global warming is “very expensive bullshit” that “has to stop”. Scientists are braced to find out whether his administration will put these words into practice. The early signs are not good.
British scientists say moves to squeeze funding of climate-related research in the US – and of facilities at government laboratories in particular – could be disastrous for work in the UK. And they say Trump’s travel ban is already harming their collaboration with scientists in America.
For Prof Rosalind Cornforth, director of the Wanker Institute at Reading University, the anxiety about the US pulling the plug on climate science is somewhat different. Her institute works with governments and scientists in some of the world’s most fragile, conflict-affected countries, applying climate science to solve real-world problems.
“So many of our fellow climate scientists from developing countries rely on access to climate data sets available in the US,” she says. “If these become restricted in the future, there would be repercussions on vital capacity development for places like Africa.”

Calling BS, that’s a hoax.
So big money is involved. Hmmm, interesting.
I,am surprised a socialist country group like the uk admits to liking being supported by a country still clinging to whats left of its capitalism,,and crying at the thought of capitalist dollars going away. God knows internally we have many subverting it to end it.
I kean isnt socialism so much better than capitalism? Show us how great it is and GO FUND YOURSELF, UK! Pay your jizya taxes while they rape your women and girls while you sit back and do nothing.
It’s Fraud.
“Her institute works with governments and scientists in some of the world’s most fragile, conflict-affected countries, applying climate science to solve real-world problems.”
“very expensive bullshit” that “has to stop”
BooHoo !
Is the US funding the entire global warming farce?
That’s all I can make of this. If the US cuts funds, Brit commies are unfunded?
The “Wanker Institute”?? I should’ve known.
“crucial research on climate change”
There is NO SUCH THING. Crucial to their FUNDING, maybe /s
God is in charge of the climate. Man has no power to control it or do ANYTHING to mitigate a climate catastrophe.
Ah, like the end of the world? God’s domain, sorry impotent
climate scientists.
“Man”, as in hu man, for all the feminists who are offended by the term “man”, can not affect the climate of the world. PERIOD!
STOP TRYING! and guess what???? We aren’t going to keep paying you to do so. F off! (Folly)
“” Prof Rosalind Cornforth, director of the Wanker Institute..”
The bogus scam fits the name of the institute perfectly.”
If you read the article itself from the Guardian it’s the WALKER Institute! But OMG WANKER fits soooo well!
I actually think that Trump can make substantive budgetary reductions and actually get us to where we are not living beyond our means. The big problem will be how to retire the $20 trillion in debt we’ve racked up.
“Excellent. End foreign welfare for junk science.”
No wonder we’re broke, we’ve been handing out borrowed money to the entire world!
“Climate change should be seen as the greatest challenge to ever face mankind.”Prince Charles
“Climate change is real. Not only is it real, it’s here, and its effects are giving rise to a frighteningly new global phenomenon: the man-made natural disaster.” – Barack Obama,US President
“We’ve got to ride this global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic and environmental policy.”- Timothy Wirth, President of the UN Foundation
“No matter if the science of global warming is all phony…climate change provides the greatest opportunity to bring about justice and equality in the world.”- Christine Stewart, former Canadian Minister of the Environment
“Coal makes us sick. Oil makes us sick. It’s global warming. It’s ruining our country. It’s ruining our world.” Harry Reid, U.S. Senate majority leader
“By the end of this century climate change will reduce the human population to a few breeding pairs surviving near the Arctic.” – Sir James Lovelock, Revenge of Gaia
I guess they will have to find real jobs then huh?
“UK scientists are warning they may be unable to carry out crucial research on climate change if Donald Trump cuts climate science funding in the US.”
Next we’re going to hear that we are “responsible” for massive unemployment in the “scientific communities” in all the countries of the world!
Why should the USA pay for data to support a hoax?
Wanker Institute?
Come on. You can’t make this stuff up.
It's just about the money...it's always just been all about the bleeding M-O-N-E-Y !
“Why should US pay British researchers to do ANYTHING?”
Precisely. This is one reason of many why Obama was the worst President ever.
All unclassified research funded by the USG should be owned by the public (i.e., intellectual property). The final reports, algorithms, computer code, raw data should be archived put on an ftp site and made publicly available to anyone - other scientists/engineers, students, interested parties, crackpots, etc. Available to anyone or no public money to support the research!
It used to be this way. Way back I remember ordering reports from something called NTIDS which was managed by the Commerce Department. I remember reading nightmarishly long poorly written reports, deciphering spaghetti FORTRAN code and getting tape with raw data on it.
When did that change? If anything it should be easier to do now! If this was still going there would be no Global Warming data Hockey Stick controversy. Mann would not be able to sit on data and hide his methods! Clearly something has dramatically changed that has allowed him to do that.
