Trump admin strips ocean and air pollution monitoring from next-gen weather satellites

1. The dumb keep getting dumber. Tracking pollution is a basic health issue. Whether you oppose climate change should have no impact on tracking pollution.

2. He would do the world better if he did literally nothing

3. This is not new. Are we forgetting who he picked for key cabinet positions during his first term? He was slowed down by the Dems more his first term.

4. The daily destruction continues to be so frustrating.

   Does anyone know if climate data companies that sell data (on risk or air) typically get that data via US government satellites or they they buy it from private companies? Not dismissing Trump’s move at all but wonder where the data that’s out there originates. My sense was private satellite companies sold to data providers, though obviously now the US government itself will have to either launch new satellites or buy the data in the future, when common sense returns.
