I’m furious — and I know I’m not alone, John.
On Friday, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced plans to eliminate its scientific research arm and fire hundreds of chemists, biologists, toxicologists, and other scientists.1
These are the people who study the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the ecosystems we depend on. They research how wildfire smoke harms our lungs. They investigate how fracking pollutes our water. Their work provides the foundation of climate policies that keep our communities and wildlife safe.
John, the EPA's research directly threatens the fossil fuel industry’s ability to rake in billions in profit — and that’s exactly why the Trump administration is pushing to dismantle it.
Without this research office, the EPA would lose its ability to assess the impact of pollution on public health and the environment, essentially gutting the agency’s mission at its core.
It’s still unclear how many scientists will be fired — which means we still have time to act.
Corporate greed should not stand in the way of lifesaving climate research. So please, add your name today.
In solidarity,
Katrina Riley for 350.org
