Climate change is making people sicker and more vulnerable to disease. Erasing the federal endangerment finding increases the risk.

Pulling climate data offline, canceling research grants, and de-funding scientific institutions doesn't just suppress climate information. It weakens the foundation we rely on to make good decisions of any kind. In my latest "Tea with Katharine" I share why investment in science is so important!
