PROTECT OUR ENVIRONMENT (NCAR AND EPA)
To: Rep. Lieu
From: A verified voter in Santa Monica, CA
February 18
I’m a member of Indivisible Westside LA and a constituent.
I’m dismayed by the regime’s ongoing attack on science and the environment. It’s currently dismantling the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), the backbone of American weather and climate science. NCAR’s researchers develop the models and tools that the National Weather Service, private forecasters, and emergency managers rely on every day.
I am also appalled by the Environmental Protection Agency’s repeal of the 2009 Endangerment Finding, which stated that greenhouse gases “endanger public health and welfare” under the Clean Air Act. This repeal will deregulate emission controls for vehicles and power plants and seriously impair public health.
I urge you to do everything possible to protect NCAR and overturn the repeal of the EPA’s Endangerment finding: they’re critical to protecting Americans’ health and welfare, and the future of the planet. Thank you.
