The climate lab the Trump administration is closing "is very much the infrastructure for the field as a whole," said Paul Kushner, a professor at the @utoronto.ca. Closing it "will weaken atmospheric science as a whole [and] certainly will weaken Canadian science as collateral damage."
This is a great article by my pal and former American Meteorological Society president Marshall Shepherd. I was not aware of some of these, and shows just how this current regime is destroying the things that really do make our country great.
For those at #agu25 #saveNCAR
12:15pm - Group Photo/Video at the "science strong" wall across from the Plenary Hall at the entrance to the convention center
1:30-5:30pm - drop in interviews at PJs Coffee in front of Hall C - look for the person with the "We ❤️ NCAR" sign.
More info:
NCAR and UCAR have released a statement. NSF has not provided any guidance to UCAR or NCAR leadership about this whole situation. news.ucar.edu/133054/ucar-...
NCAR is quite literally our global mothership.
Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources.
Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.
Unbelievable.
3 minutes on NCAR, what it does, and why it matters.

Congratulations to John Mak and all of GOTHAAM. The NSF-NCAR video summary really captures the magic of atmospheric chemistry
Sigh.
Holy crap, this game
Same. Peace out, baseball fans... 17 innings was my limit for this game.
Go Jays!
More than 5 hours of baseball is a lot of baseball. 💤 😴
Death Uber For Cutie
Those were some abrupt gusts! We lost our power with the last one.
I'm having a hard time looking past all the unnecessarily capitalized words.
Absolutely absurd.
Being a US-based scientist in 2025 feels like playing in the Titanic violin quartet. Might as well keep working on this data analysis...

Congratulations!
Brutal.
📣🔥 New wildfire study: Blazes that cross into neighborhoods are much more deadly than remote wildfires, according to a new study led by NSF NCAR. In fact, fires that burn in the wildland-urban interface are 3x more likely to cause annual premature deaths.

Editorial (w/ Kelley Barsanti) just came out in Science addressing the challenge in addressing: Is the air we breathe safe? It is challenging to address as a growing number of different pollutants are being released into the air these days.

What I find crazy about "about" is that I couldn't hear the difference when I just visited the US as a kid or in early adulthood. But I became keenly aware of it after I'd lived in the US for a year or so and went back home to visit. Then it was CRAZY obvious.
Perimenopausal women in important political roles for the win!
Just wait - it'll happen in S2 E5. (I just finished S2 today... great show!)
What does a changing climate mean for urban #Wildfires? on 2/26 we’re holding #ClimateConversation on Urban Fires to explore lessons learned from past fires to better prepare and rebuild in the aftermath of disasters:
