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.

    I would want to survive it because there are still fun things to do that I haven't done yet.
    I want to live forever because there will always be fun things to do (there are issues with body decaying because of age, but I figured we could leave that out of this particular conversation).

    Er, you want to live a long time, not actually forever. The reasoning why is heavy going, but includes that eventually a finite mind will run out of things it is *possible* to experience, and I mean this in the broadest possible sense, i.e., 2 separate runs of a billion years being burned alive are different "experiences" if they feel different for just one second that you can perceive. Don't get greedy; no one can open their mouths wide enough to swallow infinity (insert "yo mama" joke here...).
