It used to be that the National Science Foundation determined how to spend its share of the federal budget. This year, the House doesn't think that is a good idea any longer. So, it is placing limits on funding for scientific research. It automatically slashes social, behavioral and economic sciences by 55 percent compared to 2015, while geosciences including climate research shrinks eight percent.
Need I say a goodly number of scientists think this is not a good idea.
