NCAR is not only one of the leaders in climate science, but is an exceptionally important institution for space weather and upper atmosphere modeling. This will be an enormous loss for the scientific community. As someone in the atmospheric and space science community, this decision will have devastating consequences for decades to come.

This locks in the coming collapse by destroying the possibility of evolving our responses to the climate crisis intelligently and according to real world data. I would say buckle up, but I am not sure how much a seat belt is going to do for any of us at this point but convey a dangerous and false sense that things will work out ok in the end.
What a shithole country I live in.
They just seem to want to destroy everything. Most of these assholes will be long gone. The young will be left with the major consequences.
There is not enough outrage. There will be no new drugs, no new vaccines, no new therapies we can’t even imagine yet.
The only career choice for brilliant students is head to Wall Street and steal money.
Their destroying everything that kept us informed, so we could live under a smog filled boot.
These old fucks should be told the future does not belong to them.
They have been and they don’t care. In fact, they believe it does belong to them.
Maybe that’s why they’re doing this. They’re a bunch of immature children who were never taught to share or get along with others and they don’t want anyone else to have better things than they do. Maybe they’ve finally come to terms with the fact that they’re going to die so they’re making sure that the world they leave behind is fucked. If they can’t have a future, we can’t either.
Well, since the fall of the USSR, the ruzzies has fallen behind in space tech, so Krasnov will obv try his best to equalise the situation…
Disregarding politics and the current state of the world, I think those new generations could benefit from a clean slate and maybe rebuild better than the previous generations. The world is currently a pretty dirty place with most people having questionable motivations due to “profit”. Even before trump arrived on the scene. Trump is just a puppet, albeit an evil one, who exposed all of the grift and tried to burn everything down around him for his own self-aggrandizement. There is no “we the people” under his questionable leadership.
The ability to make informed decisions are being denied. An ignorant population is a compliant population.
They’re not getting a “clean slate”, they’re inheriting a broken system and planet
Billionaire immortality would be the best thing to happen to the world.
Altered Carbon is a great little sci-fi show that explores what might happen in such a scenario. According to the writer, the slow accumulation of money making money would trend to infinite, leaving a world that makes what we have now look like an egalitarian utopia by comparison.

Because then they would have to live in it, and would theoretically stop burning it down.
I don’t know if “best” feels right, but I can see the upside. Of course, then they’d be immortal overlords, and that probably wouldn’t go well either.
I’d rather get rid of billionaires, but them having to live in the hellscape they are creating would be nice, yeah.
