Questions about Ocean Sensors destruction:

[NNadir]

11. The question is however, will the instruments be damaged or destroyed?

We are going certainly lose data points to be sure. It may howver be possible to reconstruct some of it. The ocean behaves as it does with or without measurement.

It seems we lost this year's maximum at the Mauna Loa CO₂ Observatory. This was probably from poor instrument maintenance. It looks like the analysis was failing on precision from the graphic on the hourly readings. This never happened before the orange pedophile was installed.

That is of course irretrievable at this laboratory, but not fatal. I would imagine that other nations or academic labs are collecting data of these types. I don't know that but I'm guessing.

The guy is antiscience buffoon of and damage to science is increasingly outrageous. If he dies soon enough and if the elections go well, overall it will be a blip one hopes.

This will probably not be like the case observed in nuclear engineering in the United States where the knowledge base contracted over some decades because of the malign efforts of ignoramuses.

Science is now far more international, and the collapse of the United States, while regrettable, will not be the collapse of science itself I think.
