USDA Scientist Quits, Claims Trump Administration Tried To Bury His Climate Study

A top climate scientist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture has resigned in protest of what he describes as the Trump administration’s efforts to censor and suppress climate science.

In a Politico article published Monday, Lewis Ziska, a plant physiologist with more than two decades of experience working for USDA’s Agricultural Research Service, said he decided to quit after department officials tried to bury a paper he wrote on how rice is losing nutrients because of rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Decent people won't waste the next 1.5 years to 5.5 years (if Trump is reelected) of their careers on Trump. In a PhD career that is only 45 years long (from 25 years old to 70 y.o.) you really can't afford to waste that many years of it on Trump, accomplishing nothing. Much better to find another position that will make use of your education.

Don't we only have like 12 months left to fix the climate before we doom ourselves? You would think that would lessen the worry about your long-term career if you actually believed that.

Just sayin'.

Exploring the possibility of buying Greenland in order to drill for oil is, by those standards, a sober act of statesmanship that suffers more from technical flaws due to the details of Danish constitutional law than anything else.

I wish somebody would re-write Tolkien and make it an enjoyable read. Almost as bad as trying to read HP Lovecraft.



But no, they wouldn't have to re-write that flowery piece of antiquity. That's what amendments are for. Then when Trump changes his mind they can write another one nullifying that first one and it will look like the prohibition scars on our own constitution.


And at the end of the day, the King can do whatever he damn well pleases. Half of that document makes a point of letting that be known.

The King can do whatever he damn well pleases? You are thinking of Trump. In Denmark, the Constitutional Act is changed always with the consent of Danish citizens. It is not King or 3/4th of the state legislatures doing the changing. And Danish citizens have a very low opinion of Trump. About 99% think he is crazy. The rest? That he is fat. They will not change their Constitution for him.

I checked. The King of Denmark came very close to getting his ass booted out of the Palace in 1920. Since then, the Monarchs have kept their mouths shut for fear of the Parliament getting rid of them.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_Crisis_of_1920

More politely explained: "There is a political truce in Danish leadership that has persisted since 1920 and the Easter Crisis. The Monarch retains power on paper alone and the Danish parliament rules without interference by the Monarchy. As long as the Monarchy is not committing a serious crime the population will continue to treat this question as not important."

Sounds to me then that the Danish Constitution is nothing more than a piece of toilet paper anyhow and is in desperate need of a complete overhaul to be up with the times. It also sounds to me like it was severely outdated when it was written up in 1953 if none of that stuff about the King was legitimate over 30 years before it was written and almost the whole goddamned thing is about what the King can do.


Either way, Second, you lose this argument.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen on Sunday told newspaper Sermitsiaq. "I strongly hope that this is not meant seriously."

Frederiksen said conversations around the US buying Greenland were "an absurd discussion. (Greenland's Premier) Kim Kielsen has of course made it clear that Greenland is not for sale. That's where the conversation ends."

He's such a whiny little 5 year old - one of the most embarrassing people we've ever had represent this country, let alone our president.
