"description": "This week, the Trump administration closed NASA's Carbon Monitoring System (CMS), which researches the planet's flow of carbon to better understand the effects of greenhouse gas. Without it, we have no way to verify that countries are adhering to the Paris Climate agreements' greenhouse gas cuts and emission reductions. This continues a troubling trend towards completely deprioritizing climate science research in this country. Last month, Congress appointed Jim Bridenstine as the head of NASA. Bridenstine has no formal science background and has questioned the scientific consensus on climate change. His leadership role at the agency raises grave concerns about its future at the forefront of climate change research. Send a message today and ask him to Commit to NASA’s role as an earth science agency. Prioritize research that investigates the impacts of climate change. Protect climate datasets and information hosted on the NASA website and encourage writers, researchers and developers to maintain nasa.gov as a resource for accurate climate science information. In order for America to thrive, our nation needs the voices of scientists, and the insights provided by evidence, to help shape its policies. We ask that Bridenstine makes a firm commitment to scientific evidence during his tenure as a NASA administrator.",
