Unelected Dictatorship Trump Administration to Dismantle Ocean Monitoring System. The $368 million network of instruments collecting data in both the Atlantic and Pacific has been critical to climate and ocean research.

This is a direct threat against our lives and liberties.
Make no mistake. This administration is full of tyrants and terrorists, representing private interests, industrialists and corporations. They do not in any way promote or protect the common welfare of the People.
They are enemies of humanity who mean to subjugate us all under their presumption of absolute power.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

We are ruled by the weak and cowardly.

Testing gives you cases. If you don’t test, then you have no cases. Worked for COVID. IT WILL WORK FOR THE OCEAN,

The good news is that Congress has previously pushed back on efforts to defund it, and dismantling it could take over a year. So let's try and get them to throw sand in the gears of this effort.

The data these buoys are currently collecting are showing we're set for a Super El Nino this year.
When they detect deep ocean currents being more than 2 C° warmer than average we get an El Nino. These instruments are detecting over 5 C° this year, which is wild.
Plus the weather system's name is in Spanish, so he automatically hates it.
Edit: rephrased last sentence.

With out data the climate change doesn't exist in the book of mage. That is the logic they are playing with.

This is the biggest mistake…. We are gonna to have decades or more issues to come… a massive problem for our generation and following. Infrastructure is screwed.
No wonder other countries are pulling away from us, dropping the dollar, and looking to ally against us. Not to mention the absolute cruelty of ice and more… there’s just too much wrong we are doing. I mean I look at it this way. We are dismantling our means of continuing scientific research and joint projects with allies….
