We NEED long term science data sets and studies! Restore funding asap

To: Rep. Pingree, Sen. Collins, Sen. King

From: A verified voter in South Portland, ME

May 3, 2025

 The Trump administration cut climate research at NOAA, NASA, NIH, and EPA, losing key data on greenhouse gases, sea level rise, Arctic warming, and health risks. Many top scientists are leaving for other countries hiring them. This brain drain imperils decades of scientific leadership and expertise that cannot be easily rebuilt. The cuts are reckless and misguided, harming America's ability to monitor and understand environmental changes vital for public safety, economic development, and national security. Robust funding for science is essential, not something to sacrifice for ideology. Please use all the powers available to you to restore cuts to long term science projects! Our health, the health of the planet, and our national security depend on it!
