In recent years [...] satellite and aircraft instruments have begun monitoring carbon dioxide and methane remotely, and NASA's Carbon Monitoring System (CMS), a $10-million-a-year research line, has helped stitch together observations of sources and sinks into high-resolution models of the planet's flows of carbon. Now, President Donald Trump's administration has quietly killed the CMS, Science has learned.

    Why? A most excellent question. I can't answer it except because I am a survivor. Maybe because giving up just doesn't feel right. Maybe I hope that I can preserve some element of civility by choosing to protect what I can. Most probably because I made an oath that I would have and hold my wife and our cats... I owe it to them to try.

    I'm not the only one who will try, either. That's all civilization is, anyway, IMVHO. Sometimes we are more successful than others.
