In recent years [...] satellite and aircraft instruments have begun monitoring carbon dioxide and methane remotely, and NASA's Carbon Monitoring System (CMS), a $10-million-a-year research line, has helped stitch together observations of sources and sinks into high-resolution models of the planet's flows of carbon. Now, President Donald Trump's administration has quietly killed the CMS, Science has learned.

    Apparently we're using the Bugblatter approach to Climate Change:

    The Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal is a vicious wild animal from the planet of Traal, known for its never-ending hunger and its mind-boggling stupidity. The Guide calls the bugblatter the stupidest creature in the entire universe - so profoundly unintelligent that, if you can't see it, it assumes it can't see you.

    This falls into the "If I don't like it, it is fake XXX" bucket where XXX can be news, science, etc

    I am not sure that Trump (or anybody in his circle) knows where his towel is.

    That's a great name for the phenomenon. I usually referred it as the "La-La-La-I'm-Not-Listening" Approach, which most of us outgrow by age 5 or so.
