What will happen to the federal government’s environmental protection work if Congress can’t pass a funding bill on time? Right now, it’s hard to say. [snip]
Agencies conducting research on climate change will feel the effects of a shutdown. During the 17-day government shutdown in 2013, research on melting ice, rising seas, and global weather ground to a halt.
Much of climate field research requires extensive careful planning, and research sites like the polar ice caps are only accessible at certain times of the year. Stopping work in these areas proved especially disruptive for data collection: It created gaps in the record and added unexpected shutdown and restart costs.
During the 2013 shutdown, climate researchers in Antarctica funded through the National Science Foundation and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration were forced to stop working and start packing. Researchers who didn’t work for the federal government but relied on data like satellite observations from federal agencies were affected too.
According to the Department of Commerce’s shutdown plan, “most research activities” at the National Institute of Standards and Technology and NOAA would stop except computer modeling for hurricanes and for flight planning.

Just make up whatever data you need, as always.
Too much of our money has gone to this fake research.
It’s called SEASONS.....SEASONS...the FOUR SEASONS!!!
If global warming is “settled science”, why do we need to spend money researching it?
For example, the Law of Gravitation is settled science. Scientists have been able to derive the gravitational constant in various laboratories the world over. That’s why the US gov doesn’t spend millions of dollars researching it.
You don’t have to research a “known”.
Thank you Lord!!
Climate change research is easy.
When the weather is _________ than average, it is proof of man made climate change. When the _________ ice sheet is __________, it is consistent with models and proof showing climate change.
Third article today on climate change.
The press is Dorkbamaing itself.
Again.
And again.
Would there be a requirement that journalists actually be able to pass a science course - a high school science course.
True physics, however, will always beyond the meagre capabilities of mere journalists.
“Umair Irfan ?”
Is it just me, but do all these “climate change freaks” have names you can’t pronounce? Are they part of our ill-conceived “visa lottery?” Have they come here, gotten a free education from one of our crap hole liberal universities, and sallied forth spewing what they’ve “learned?” You never read an article on this subject written by a John Smith. The names all remind me of things you have to have surgically removed from your a$$!
Don’t see a down side.
Money wasted anyway, what with all cooked up data.
More good news. SHUT IT DOWN!
If they turn off the lights after everyone departs the EPA, it will help the environment.
This is serious.
We can’t have global warming without the government!
Shutting down “climate change” is a good thing. The taxpayers shouldn’t be paying for this scam anyway.
We’ll that’s a good start!
OMG!!
The Sky is falling!!
Oh noessss....
