IMO, it's a sad state of affairs when our national leadership prefers to base critical policy decisions on ignorance and ideology rather than sound science.

I disagree with Trump on this one.

He's drinking the Republican kool-aid without knowing the facts.  Only the politically orchestrated ones.

Expecting selective (ideological) editing being it's from CNN, the obvious thing to do was to go to the horse's mouth (NOAA) where of course I wasn't disappointed. Moreover it appears a politically correct SJW group of 15 civilians, the loss of which is what - some sort of disaster? They get to complete their projects then move on. So be it. Assuming their work is of any value, we can call them later if we need them again.

"politically correct SJW group" -- what is this supposed to mean and where did you get that from anyway? Do you mean because they actually wanted to have some diversity on the group?
