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.

NASA did not immediately respond to a request for comment from AFP.

and lived another 130 years, he'd see waves lapping up most of his branded properties like Mar-a-Lago.

He probably would move the Winter White House to somewhere on the Canadian border.

In a worst case scenario, NASA would actually become a refugee program.

But his diet won't matter that much - he just don't give a shit.

More money funneled through "his" LLC for access to Trump. Money talks for Trump. He doesn't have to hear another sound. "Write down what you want, and as soon as your check clears it will be so." The worst Democracy money can buy.

Or behind closed doors, outside public purview?

It's almost as if he knows it's wrong. Naw, Donnie Two Scoops never does anything wrong, just like his Republican predecessor, Dubya.
