Former and current employees of National Geographic, including a former executive, have called for public opposition to the Trump administration's cuts to science and environmental programs. They emphasize that such reductions threaten economic stability and environmental safety. The call stems from experiences with catastrophic events like the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill, where the devastating consequences of neglecting environmental regulations are starkly illustrated. The letter underlines the importance of rigorous scientific programs for national progress and advocates for collective silence to be broken against potential disasters ahead.
In the face of this danger, none of us can remain silent. We warned that gutting crucial programs is a recipe for disaster.
Having been involved in the two most significant environmental disasters in US history, I know the human and economic toll these events can exact.
