  1. Yes, they will likely try to find ways to privatize data, or start charging for its use

  2. I’d imagine that every scientist and researcher currently employed by the government is backing up their data in all sorts of places Trump can’t reach.

  3. Project 2025 is the Magna Carta of climate denial, authored by the most evil psychopaths in history. And I don’t think that’s hyperbolic at all. Let’s consider what’s at stake here: the only habitable planet we have. So, given the established physics of heat-trapping greenhouse gases, what could be more evil than actively working to maximise every last cent from extracting and burning fossil fuels – ensuring a planet-wide catastrophe and the likely deaths of hundreds of millions, if not billions?
