‘We need to prepare for the new world’: Global scientists react to Trump’s election
Trump’s decisive defeat against Kamala Harris has raised concerns among many researchers about the future of the United States.
Scientists around the world expressed disappointment and shock when Republican Donald Trump won the final votes needed to secure the US presidency in the early hours of November 6. Many are now bracing for four years of attacks on scientists inside and outside government because of Trump's anti-science rhetoric and actions during his final term in office.
Nobel laureate Fraser Stoddart, who left the United States last year, said: “In my long life of 82 years… there has been hardly a day that has sadder me than this.”

The concerns pouring in this morning are consistent with those expressed by a majority of readers who responded to a survey last month. nature. Of more than 2,000 people polled, 86% said they supported Harris out of concerns about climate change, public health and the state of American democracy. Some even said they would consider changing where they live or study if Trump wins.

“Some people … said they would consider changing where they live or study if Trump wins.”
Maybe that's the problem…
Of more than 2,000 people polled, 86% expressed support for Harris…
This seems to mean that 95% scientific consensus is almost there. I'm a scientist, a geologist, but I'm not surveyed. However, I am fairly certain that the dozens of geoscientists and engineers I work with every day express over 85% support for President Trump. It all depends on who you ask.
Maybe these “scientists” need some therapy puppies
“Bonnie and Clyde” is ready and willing to help.
deal with it
Four years ago we had to deal with the aftermath of the riots* and the 2020 coup.
(*Shamdemic: Government imposes economic blockades and other authoritarian measures in response to ChiCom-19.)
Biden did promise to destroy our oil and gas industry and will spend the next four years trying to deliver on that promise. We must face this reality. His defeat was largely due to our court victories, the resilience of our industry, and the fact that the Marcellus Shale and much of the Permian Basin are both state-owned and private lands.
A glimmer of hope for Shamdemid
They used pranks to wage a brutal war on personal freedom. This attack on freedom has changed the political dynamics of our country. In 2020, who could have imagined that Donald Trump would form such a diverse political coalition? JD “Hillbilly Elegy” Vance, Tulsi Gabbard, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, Dana White, Hulk Hogan, Kid Rock, and now… Joe Rogan? I have laughed at many such people. Now they are heroes to me.
A Trump II administration will make science great again.
Make energy great again
Trump vows to cut energy costs in half — and he has a real plan to do it

He would “cut red tape,” increase approvals for new power plants, spur nuclear energy development and lift Democratic restrictions on fossil fuels.
Hear, hear! It was all of the above tactics that got America into Trump's first term.
It will once again bring huge benefits not just to the United States, but to the entire free world.
As former Interior Secretary David Bernhardt made clear during his campaign press conference, such programs are critical to future prosperity.
“Between soaring demand and coal retirements, we face huge challenges [energy] Bernhardt warned that by 2032, the capacity gap will reach at least 30%.
Democrats are so obsessed with reducing carbon emissions that they are blocking not just new gas and oil drilling; also New pipelines, refineries, fossil fuel power plants (as well as cars, stoves, and heaters), and more.
Bernhardt predicted that under Trump’s plan, “every manufacturing plant, every data center, every semiconductor facility and assembly line would want to be built in the United States — because the United States will be the place where energy costs are lower than anywhere else on Earth. place.
These lower costs will also help curb inflation in the United States: After all, energy—electricity for manufacturing or oil for transportation—accounts for a large portion of the cost of nearly all products.

While I don’t see a path to cutting energy costs in half relative to today’s levels, abandoning the Paris Agreement and the net-zero mandate will undoubtedly result in energy costs being much lower than on their current trajectory. Making energy more abundant and affordable will lead to greater prosperity, which will provide more funding for real science.
To those “scientists” worried about Trump and his allies:
Watching the Starship booster rocket land on the launch pad was like 196 of my favorite space movies and TV shows coming to life.
In fact, Elon's Starship looks just like the Fireball XL5, which makes it even more priceless!
Trump and Musk: Interstellar Exploration!
Mars Exploration: President Trump and Elon Musk’s Big Vision
By Greg Autry and Brett Mecum, Opinion Contributors – 09/28/24
In September 1962, John F. Kennedy famously told Americans, “We choose to go to the moon.” Former President Donald Trump recently echoed that sentiment, “Elon , get those rocket ships going because we want to get to Mars.”
Trump often talks about landing on Mars. We find that his new challenge is a continuation of his first administration’s fruitful space initiatives, complementing Artemis’ bold return to the moon.
[…]
Under the second Trump administration, efficient Mars missions will have two launch windows — 2026 and 2028.
[…]
When SpaceX first launched its Falcon 9 rocket in 2010, the United States now held a massive zero share of the global commercial launch market. Today, most payloads are launched by SpaceX, which currently launches more rockets than were launched worldwide in 2010.
In 2010, there were approximately 1,000 active satellites in orbit. Today, Musk's Starlink constellation operates more than six times that number, more than the rest of the commercial, military and government sectors combined.
Trump’s space record is equally terrifying. No other president has had such a profound impact on U.S. space policy as a whole. Trump reestablished the National Space Council. He created Space Force. He initiated NASA's program to return to the moon under Artemis.
[…]
We have no doubt that if governments don't stop Musk, Starship will land on Mars in 2029. After several test flights, Starship appears capable, and landing it on Mars will in some ways be easier than the moon missions NASA has contracted for it.
[…]
To achieve this goal, a second Trump administration must immediately streamline launch licensing and licensing requirements. Musk noted that launching each Starship would require “multiple fish licenses” in addition to FAA safety reviews. Requiring several hurdles to be overcome for every release is a waste of time that we cannot afford in a globally competitive market.
[…]
The United States is always at its best when faced with a crisis or challenge. When we have the will, we can always find bold leaders who answer the call. Trump and Musk are ready to go: Are we ready?
