The White House is also proposing to eliminate climate science programs throughout the federal government, including at the Environmental Protection Agency. The American Society of Clinical Oncology, issued a statement warning that the proposed budget “will devastate our nation’s already fragile federal research infrastructure.” The proposed budget would also eliminate the Fogarty International Center, an N.I.H. program focused on global health.
It makes no sense to me why we wouldn't want more for scientific funding since the research today is only getting better and more advanced.
Judith Enck called the cuts "nonsensical", as well as saying that one of the programs being cut monitors chemicals known as endocrine disrupters, “Not having the latest science on endocrine disrupters will make more people sick. And that is not something the states will pick up."
Eliminating laboratory research on climate change, as the budget proposes, can have real-world effects, experts said, by making it harder to predict storms or other weather events that cause devastation and loss of life.
It seems absolutely unbelievable that people could be so blind to the consequences of their actions that they would sacrifice the health and well-being of people for business maneuvers.
