☮ ♥ ♬ 🧑💻“Leading #Climate #scientist Professor #SarahPerkinsKirkpatrick, president of the #Australian #Meteorological and #Oceanographic Society, said cutting one-third of the specialised workforce would devastate #CSIRO’s capacity to predict and model the effects of climate change.
“Basically, without the #ACCESS model, we’re running on a dial-up modem,” she said.
In a submission to a #Senate inquiry into CSIRO’s #funding and #resourcing, Science and Technology Australia chief executive #RyanWinn said CSIRO’s work was “deeply embedded in the broader #research ecosystem” in Australia.
“It is a vital partner in projects with universities and industry and hosts critical research infrastructure assets,” Winn said.
“Any reductions to CSIRO’s capacity to maintain this essential support will send far-reaching and enduring ripple effects across the [research and development] system.”
Cost too much, too hard to study and develop, don’t bother. — #Labor
