Green Grab

No more real green for fake green:

A news release from the Department of Commerce said several National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-funded programs at Princeton “are no longer in keeping with the Trump administration’s priorities.” The release added that the Cooperative Institute for Modeling the Earth System was cut because it “promotes exaggerated and implausible climate threats, contributing to a phenomenon known as ‘climate anxiety,’ which has increased significantly among America’s youth.” “Its focus on alarming climate scenarios fosters fear rather than rational, balanced discussion. Additionally, the use of federal funds to support these narratives, including educational initiatives aimed at K-12 students, is misaligned with the administration’s priorities,” the release continued. The release further stated that the cooperative agreement funding the Climate Risks & Interactive Sub-seasonal to Seasonal Predictability program was canceled because the program “suggests that the Earth will have a significant fluctuation in its water availability as a result of global warming.” “Using federal funds to perpetuate these narratives does not align with the priorities of this Administration and such time and resources can be better utilized elsewhere.”
