It’s not a great time to be a climate scientist.

That was the general sentiment hanging over the American Geophysical Union’s annual meeting in downtown Washington this week, write Zack Colman and Chelsea Harvey.

President-elect Donald Trump has promised to do his worst to unravel climate policy when he retakes the White House next month. He has pledged to re-exit the Paris climate agreement, dismantle his predecessor’s landmark climate law, and roll back environmental regulations across the government.

That has rattled the 25,000 researchers attending the world’s largest science conference. They fear censorship, funding cuts and layoffs.

It hasn't been a good time to be a Climate Scientist for thirty years.

Grant gobbling charlatans of the new religion have prospered, but scientists have been marginalized or worse.

There's enough sound evidence around the configuation of reporting station urban encroachment alone to deep 6 any emviro-whacko climate scam claim. 

When the worst of the politically inclined start selling their beach front property, we might want to start talking.
