Farmers sued to get their climate data back, and won. What can we learn? - Velshi - MSNBC

The Trump administration is attacking climate science - from scrubbing data farmers use for their crops to cutting personnel from the National Weather Service. They are dismantling the best tools we have for mitigating climate change.

“Climate change is not just a public health issue, it’s not just about forest fires or drought,” says Fmr. Washington Governor Jay Inslee. “It’s about economics… This is going to cost Americans’ bottom line.” Whether you are a farmer trying to protect your crops, a parent trying to protect your child from air or water pollution, a homeowner trying to keep your home safe from flood or fire… the only hope we have to protect ourselves starts with understanding the threats we face. - Aired on 05/18/2025.

1. It's ironic that so many farmers are trump/ republican voters. They see first hand how climate change has affected

farming. Some of them depend on migrant workers as well. How do you vote for the party/person that could destroy your farm?
Is it worth it to own the libs? Do you hate minorities that much that you don't mind destroying yourselves in the process?

2. Good question. Are they too occupied to follow the news, even if it affects them directly??

Hard to believe... I sure hope what's happening regarding climate change and the threat of deportations of essential workers is a wake up call.
