Unfortunately the congressional efforts from Colorado senators to delay & reconsider the review of NCAR was not successful

“…compromise legislation designed to move quickly through Congress. And it did. The House voted 397-28 in favor on Jan 8, the Senate following suit, a vote of 82-15 on Jan 15. Now the bill awaits President Trump’s signature to become law. He is expected to sign”

This is really amazing news.
Both houses of Congress have passed a budget that rejects Trump’s proposed funding cuts, securing level funding to NASA & NOAA.

Several NCAR scientists played key roles in @wcrpclimate.bsky.social Hunga volcano impacts report, released last week.
The NCAR modelling group (Bill Randel & others) led predictions of ozone layer & climate impacts from Hunga’s volcanic aerosol & water vapour.

Great to hear a bipartisan group in congress (both Democrat & Republicans) is seeking to secure adequate funding for NCAR in the upcoming Commerce, Justice and Science (CJS) appropriations bill (deadline 31 Jan 2026).

Pleased to have helped co-ordinate the @wcrpclimate.bsky.social Hunga atmospheric impacts report.
The explosive energy from the VEI6 eruption was likely more than 1991 Pinatubo, on a par with 1883 Krakatau.
Shallow underwater setting saw impacts from emitted sulphur & emitted water vapour.
Available now! International report on global atmospheric impacts of the 2022 Hunga volcanic eruption.
Under the APARC project, this international assessment analyzes the most explosive volcanic event of the satellite era.

🌋 New international report reveals the unprecedented impact of the Hunga eruption, an underwater volcano that erupted in 2022.
Priestley members were at the heart of this effort to understand the climate impact of this water-rich eruption. Read the findings here: climate.leeds.ac.uk/news/interna...
WCRP’s APARC releases a landmark report on global atmospheric impacts of the 2022 Hunga volcanic eruption.
159 scientists. 21 countries. 3 years. One report.

Shocked to hear the news Trump is threatening to dismantle NCAR.
But pleased to give talk at AGU annual mtg in today’s CMIP7 natural & anthopogenic forcings session re: SSiRC data recovery project. Aims to improve volcanic forcings in climate models

#AGU25
Looking forward to week of climate & atmospheric science at @agu.org annual meeting & @wcrpclimate.bsky.social “Hunga volcano atmospheric impacts report” release on Thursday. #agu25
