We seriously need a non-profit who creates NGOs to continue the scientific research that's being smothered by the current administration.

I agree. If anything good comes from this administration, it'll be that important work will be less vulnerable to the whims of politicians. That's why I've donated to NGOs that replace the things Trump is killing.

Unfortunately, in the case of climate, we'll never be able to compensate for the dismantling of the EPA. NGOs can't regulate.

They can however make recommendations for regulations, and influence U.N. regulatory guidelines.

This could make a low-staffed EPA significantly more effective, because then it would only have to pick and choose regulations to implement/try to pass.

But they'd never pass.

Not in the next 3,5 years, no.

Except who would fund this non-profit?
