Scientists at the United States Antarctic Program (USAP), which operates three permanent stations on the southernmost continent, are alarmed by cuts by DOGE. Managers in charge of Antarctic projects at the National Science Foundation, which manages the USAP, were fired, leaving research in limbo. What Thing is causing this horror among scientists? Antarctic Research Stations in Chaos
Besides shifting geopolitics, scientists are worried DOGE's cuts could trigger a brain drain. "Foreign countries are actively recruiting my colleagues, and some have already left," one Antarctic scientist told Wired. "My students are looking at jobs overseas now... people have been coming [to the US] to do science my whole life. Now people are going the other way." This will suit Trump.
Although I basically like what Elon Musk has accomplished so far I believe that this is an error because the rapid cracking and sliding of chunks of ice off the West Antarctic Ice Sheet could cause rapid rise in ocean levels which could destroy any respect that any reasonable person had for the Al Gore Carbon Tax Theory........ so.... the threat or rising ocean levels could be used to encourage Israel's neighbours to invest in mega-scale sea water desalination technology which would help ten million Israelis to increase their economic cooperation with one billion neighbouring Muslims. http://www.politicalforum.com/index...els-to-canada-hit-record-high-in-2022.607027/ The darkening of the ice on the LAND BASED GREENLAND ICE SHEET presents us with a similar issue plus OPPORTUNITY!
