Europe Doubles Down Climate (scam) Science Or Something

Trump has had a tough go in getting Europe to spend on their own defense all while EU nations are fearporning on the threat from Russia, but, they’re happy to Worry about ‘climate change’

As NASA’s budget shrinks, Europe doubles down on Earth science: ‘Climate change is the defining challenge of our generation’

As climate extremes intensify and global tipping points loom, Earth science has never been more vital — but not everyone is treating it that way.

In the United States, NASA’s science programs are facing historic funding cuts. A new proposed federal budget slashes the agency’s Earth science division by nearly half and downsizes its workforce by a third.

Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, the European Space Agency (ESA) is taking the opposite approach. At the Living Planet Symposium 2025, held in Vienna, Austria, ESA leadership showcased the agency’s ambitious forward-looking vision for Earth observation, one that extends not just to the next fiscal cycle but decades into the future.

“Earth observation within the organization [ESA], agency is a major priority,” said ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher during the ESA Living Planet 2025 opening ceremony.

The proposed budget would cancel several flagship missions and reduce NASA’s ability to monitor wildfires, atmospheric carbon, sea-level rise, and extreme weather events — all during what scientists say is the most critical decade for climate action.

So, was the US supposed to monitor the rest of the world for free forever? Most of the NASA personnel being cut are unnecessary, they’re climate hysterics, and/or do the same job as many others unnecessarily.

Leaders at the Living Planet Symposium laid out a bold, long-term approach to Earth and climate science, centered on collaboration, innovation, and open access.

“Climate change is the defining challenge of our generation, requiring us to transform observation into immediate action, the energy transition and sustainable development of our infrastructure demand reasonable steps from all of us,” said Peter Hanke, Austrian Federal Minister of Innovation Mobility and Infrastructure, during the opening ceremony.

Who’s paying for it? Higher taxes in the EU? Where’s the money coming from? And do the citizens in the EU approve of this?
