Washington: The White House has “quietly killed” a $10-million per year NASA program that tracks carbon and methane, key greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming, the journal Science said.
NASA's Carbon Monitoring System (CMS) tracked sources and sinks for carbon and made high-resolution models of the planet's flows of carbon, said the report. “Now, President Donald Trump's administration has quietly killed the CMS,” it said, describing the move as the latest in a “broad attack on climate science” mounted by the White House.
