When Trump & MAGA movement end, let's remember the complicity of Big Oil. The industry will do anything it can to impede progress and obfuscate reality to insure that its destructive business model continues to enrich its shareholders at the expense of the environment and human health.

Detroit's Big 3 may never recover from Trump's China Hoax: Just promote policies based on lies that climate change is not real and that the American automobile industry can dominate by producing cars that are less efficient, more expensive in the long run, & dependent on burning dirty fossil fuels.
The American E.V. Has Been Crushed. Will It Take the U.S. Auto Industry With It?
The largest U.S. automakers have backed away from electric vehicles, even as global sales are booming. The decision may make them obsolete.

AGU played a pivotal role in reversing NSF's decision to cut the OOI by mobilizing the global scientific community. The widespread backlash coordinated by AGU and its partners triggered rapid political intervention through the bipartisan "Saving the OOI" Act, which forced the NSF’s U-turn.
US funding uncertainties threaten to sink key global oceanography projects
The United States has led the world in observing the oceans — but cuts and threats of cuts have researchers worried it is no longer a reliable partner.
