GreenPolicy360 Siterunner / Steven Schmidt:
Our work brings a historic emphasis to Earth Science and Atmospheric Science research that takes us back to the beginnings of the modern environmental movement and to a mentor, and then colleague of your GreenPolicy360 siterunner, who brought earth science to a new level over a nearly four decade career in the U.S. Congress. A tip of our green hat to the memory of Representative George E. Brown and his pioneering vision and generational activism on the Science, Space and Technology Committee.
I personally watched George take the original NASA 'Mission Statement' and point to a highlighting of Earth Science. As a member and then chair of Congressional oversight of Earth Science missions from the 60s through the 90s, George taught me, and I am sharing what George and many have worked to do over the years and bequeath today's and future generations. Here is one passage from my memory of my George... George E. Brown. He never gave up.... he kept on with 'the mission'. His memory and work, a legacy is featured at GreenPolicy360.

SJS: George worked tirelessly in Congress for change. With saving and protecting the environment in his sight, he moved conservative and liberal politicians in his direction. George saw connections that transcended states and nations. A key goal was setting up an EPA as an umbrella agency to coordinate environmental federal and federal-state efforts... George was a "first-mover" as the term has come to be known. He had a big-picture plan and set out to accomplish it. He succeeded on multiple fronts, pushing forward the idea and the vision for 'omnibus' legislation. The Environmental Protection Agency was founded and historic initial green laws and regulations for environmental protection and security were passed.

George was among the first voices to be raised warning about the environmental threat of climate disruption and, although few realize, he was at the forefront of the initial efforts to study the climate, pushing the development of initial atmospheric science programs and missions of NASA and public/private research. He combined his engineering skills with his legislative reach.
George E. Brown, in fact, drafted the "National Climate Program Act" of 1978.

Rep. George Brown brought his extensive work with U.S. top scientists, featured in the work of 1977's Energy and Climate Report of the National Academy of Sciences and follow on 1979 Academy Climate Science report that was presciently accurate in its predictions.
The Congressman-Engineer emphasized, constantly to me and in his work, the essential important of having accurate data in order to make the best possible engineering decisions. He imprinted, if I could use this word to its fullest meaning, the vital nature of gathering information with studies over time to monitor changes. He was in a position, one of the most powerful positions in government, to shape the policies of science -- atmospheric science, earth science, big science.
Whenever we see the NASA 'marching directive' "You can manage only what you can measure", think of George. The original mission statement of our nation's first ventures into space began with studying the home planet. Measuring and monitoring became a mantra of Earth Science...
The Congressman left us a legacy of vision and action against threats to the atmosphere, earth's life systems, and sustainability.
We have, all who believe in the importance of science, carried forward his thoughts over the years since the 1960s and 1970s. As best we could, we have carried on against deep odds and opposition by those with other goals.
The Original Mission Statement of NASA ((1958) provided Congressional intent and guidance to the first generation of space programs. George, if he were here, would've done I am certain everything within his power to protect the original mission statement...

“To understand and protect our home planet; to explore the universe and search for life; to inspire the next generation of explorers ... as only NASA can.”

GreenPolicy360 and Strategic Demands
GreenPolicy360's origins connect deeply with Strategic Demands and activism to move the U.S. and nations of the world away from nuclear weapons proliferation. The Cuban Missile Crisis of the early 1960s had a profound effect on many, the 'close call', the near nuclear catastrophe, the fact that young students in schools across the nation were 'ducking and covering' under desks, picturing imminent nuclear blasts, left an impression that life was not to be taken for granted. It could end at any moment unless we, all of us, took action to end the threat before it ended us.
During this period of history, your current GreenPolicy360 siterunner met a new Congressman, George E. Brown in East Los Angeles. I was a young high school debater who went to see the local Congressman and what was set in motion was a multi-year journey between us to develop climate/environmental science and generational activism and strong, deep opposition to nuclear weapons.
I told the story of this meeting, starting with a Schwinn bike here....
