NASA on Tuesday announced the dismissal of its chief scientist and others to comply with President Donald Trump’s orders, which identified the latest location in connection with the administration’s actions that dismissed climate change.
Although the move affects only 23 people, one spokesman said there was further deduction.
In the first phase, the office of the Chief Scientists was abolished, headed by Catreen Calvin, a famous meteorological expert, who participated in important UN key climate information. Last month, he and other US delegates were also stopped from attending a major climate science meeting in China.
“To improve our workforce and comply with an executive order, NASA is launching its phased outlook, known as RIF, said agency spokesman Sharel Warner said.
“On March 10, very few people were informed that they were part of NASA’s RIF. If they were eligible, they could choose to participate in the voluntary initial retirement authority, or Vera, or complete the RIF process.
The Office of Technology, Policy, and Strategy and Diversity, Equity, Equality, and Diversity, Equity, and the Office of Joining Office, Equality, Join, and Leaving Branch have also been abolished.
NASA has avoided the deep deductions that affect other agencies so far, due to Trump’s nominee Jarid Ishaqman’s interference by Jairid Ishaqman for the head of NASA. Isaac Man, an e-pay billionaire and Space X customer, is seen near Elon Musk-the key adviser of Trump and the architect of federal costs.
In February, NASA was preparing to leave a thousand probationary employees. However, according to Aires Technica, Ishaqman allegedly asked to stop deductions. NASA has not explained the reversal.
Referring to the internal memo through NASA Watch, the new holiday. Full of research, away from research and a shift to exploration.
Both Trump and Musk support the human mission for Mars. In his address to his State of the Union last week, Trump announced that the United States would “flag the US flag on the planet Mars and even far ahead.”
The NASA plays an important role in climate research, which runs the Earth’s monitoring satellites, conducts airplanes and land -based studies, develops sophisticated climate model, and provides open source data to researchers and the public.
Trump, who has termed climate change as “scam” and has expressed hatred for the United Nations and climate science, has already removed the United States from the Paris Agreement for the second time.
Meanwhile, their administration has dismissed hundreds of employees in the National Ocean and the Women’s Administration (NOAA), which is the country’s other major climate agency, which is expected to further reduce.
