Prof. Stefan RahmstorfI wonder: Are the people of the proud democracy and great science nation USA just going to sit back and watch as it is dismantled by a bunch of rampant billionaires?

I hope not.
I hope not.
Benjamin Labohm@rahmstorf so, would it be useful to externally store all the #nasa, #noaa, #USGS etc datasets before Donalds or Elons creatures can mess with them or even take public access away?

schrotthaufen@rahmstorf I might be a bit pessimistic, but: Yup. They have at least two (competing) cults (ultra-nationalists vs. network state / nrx) going, and brainwashed cultists don’t question their leaders. Some will realize it’s not what they voted for, but for most MAGAs I don’t have hope. After all, owning the libs is more important than a functioning government. (And democracy isn’t what they want anyway.)
Jenkins. Tom Jenkins. 🤮🤢🤮
ArneBab@rahmstorf I remember when NOAA folks said at EGU that it was hard to work with colleagues from Russia, because the Russian scientists were forbidden to cooperate with people from US.
⇒ this is worrying ☹
Blippy the Wonder Slug 🇩🇪
Engler-Wiesenberg@rahmstorf And Europe's statesmen are acting as if his election should be accepted. The red carpet is rolled out for a criminal and rapist who has been convicted several times. Every democratic statesman bows and bows to this psychopath who blatantly enriches himself and whose followers destroy the heresy remnants of decency and democracy with Hitler salutes. This cowardice just sucks...
