Scientists to NASA: Study Earth

Two climate scientists and a former Republican governor warned the House Science and Technology Committee Feb. 13 that the U.S. Earth-observing satellite system is in danger of collapse without a substantial and immediate reinvestment.

“At a time when the need has never been greater, we are faced with an Earth-observation program that will dramatically diminish over the next five to 10 years,” warned Berrien Moore, director of the Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans and Space at the University of New Hampshire.
