How will the natural gas lobby claim it’s so much better than coal now that we can see methane leaks? NASA doesn’t seem to care about capitalism

But NASA does care about Congress approving its budget requests. And the Republican controlled House and Republican filibustering Senate minority do not want anything done about climate change.

Thus sadly, it may lead to blowback against NASA by the currently insane US right. There’s already talk about elimination of NOAA (National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration), privatizing its weather forecasting, and restructuring NASA’s Earth observation initiatives that involve climate research.

Regardless of who wins the presidency next month and who has the majority in either house of Congress, the Republican party will try to block such research or dismiss its findings.

If Trump wins, he and his Agenda 2025 cronies (including his VP) will manipulate him to rip anything like this out. Plus Trump’s boss Putin needs to keep selling fossil fuels as the main thing keeping Russia’s economy afloat.
