4. I am extremely worried about the loss of data and instrumentation.

Scientific fraud is a subset of the frauds with which these people are comfortable.

It is from my perspective however one which may have the most serious long term consequences. An example is Stalinist Lysenkoism, a nonsense concept, that lead long after Stalin died, to serious decline of Soviet agriculture in the 1970s. Lysenkoism's only support was political; there was no scientific support for it.

The issue with the climate is not localized geographically. It involves the entire planet.

One hopes that pockets of sanity will protect the data.

I've been concerned about the Mauna Loa Carbon Dioxide Observatory's integrity ever since the Orange Pedophile came back to the position of being able to asset his ignorance in the world conversation.
