Trump's budget proposal for NASA zeros out the Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO-2 & 3), which would mean an early end to tools that provide detailed information on carbon dioxide emissions and plant growth.

Congress could still save these programs.

♻️⚡Zapping away forever chemicals
Scientists have found a super-fast way to destroy toxic 'forever chemicals' in water filters. Using a quick burst of electricity, they remove 99.9% of PFAS – and turn the waste into valuable graphene.
