Great, and through your effort you can raise a total of 100, maybe even 1000 dollars.

Meanwhile while you are willing to give $15 for good data, Koch is willing to spend $15 million for a guy with a degree in fine arts to tell us he's a scientist and actually CO2 is super healthy and awesome.

We elect officials and tax not just for the climate data most people will care about, but also for random things like sewage data that people might not be thinking about but is also important to public health. Trying to piecemeal fund all these studies and turning science into a game of advertising and begging for causes will put us right back into the dark ages where only the absurdly wealthy could engage in any sort of scientific research.

Can we do the same thing for military funding? Default its budget to zero, and if anyone cares, let them donate a few bucks?

update: it turns out the parent org hasn't set up donations for this sub org, so i donated to climate action instead (also under the parent org)

I care that the data is out there and helps with weather forecasting. My taxes pay for that.

Do you care about roads, schools, fire stations and police too? Please donate to those please.
