It was never about β€œfree speech.”

@georgetakei Things have flipped 180. Just a year or two ago, if you wanted to get any sort of earth science thing funded, you figured out a way to work climate change into it.

The Right hated on censorship when it was out of power, but seems to be just as happy as the Left to use it once in power. Meet the new boss...

@mike805 @georgetakei

Plenty of earth and other science has been funded that had nothing to do with climate. It's just that there's an extra interest in climate because of the urgency of the CO2-induced climate change. But nothing got censored merely for not being about climate.

Right now, it's pretty clear they want to ignore climate change and silence as many scientists as possible that might want to talk about it, because the obvious solution to the problem hurts the profits of their oil business donors.
