From @AGU.org: Senators are working on legislation to save NCAR, but we need extra support for these 8 states. Your Senators in Alabama, Alaska, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Texas, and Wyoming need to hear from you.

From wildfire warnings to flood forecasts, NCAR's research impacts everyone in America.

President Trump's attempt to dismantle it for political vengeance is beyond reckless.

We will fight against this dangerous scheme every step of the way.

Good. American excellence in science is the result of decades of federal investment in facilities and in training scientists. NCAR does not belong to the President. It belongs to all of us.
President Trump thinks he can intimidate Colorado by shuttering NCAR.

It’s political retribution, Senator John Hickenlooper and I won’t stand for it. We are holding up the appropriations package to demand NCAR is fully funded.

At an @agu.org Town Hall today, @ncar-ucar.bsky.social President Antonio Busalacchi spoke to #AGU25 attendees about what's at stake if NCAR is dismantled.

One attendee asked anyone who uses NCAR research to stand up. Almost everyone in the room stood.

Short clip from my rapid-response livestream yesterday regarding potentially devastating plans to dismantle NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and how it's directly connected to the policy blueprint known as "Project 2025." #SaveNCAR
How is alarming proposal to dismantle climate & disaster research at NCAR connected to Project 2025?
In this excerpt from my longer livestream, I discuss how the potentially devastating proposal to dismantle the NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and halt its core climate and extreme weather/disaster-related research has its origins in the policy blueprint offered by "Project 2025.

Man this is such a good read. The entire purpose of power sector CCS is to sort of hover tantalisingly on the horizon but never actually materialise.

From my personal collection of planned projects (this isn't even 'projections' or scenarios - the future lines were all real projects!)

This is a terrible development.

The Administration is destroying the scientific institutions that helped make America great. It will take years to rebuild from this.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

NSF

- Forced reorg

- POs down ~ 40% (DRP, most rotators not renewed, retirements)

- Forced move (and we have to pack and clean) to a building with no furniture, little to no conference space for panels, inadequate 🛜, …)

I personally love the boxes they gave us for packing.
“Details matter” 🙃

Important read.

There's a lot of confusion and some hype in the carbon removal space. Also, in the “ocean based solutions” space.

Folks need to be careful here.

Extreme heat doesn’t just feel exhausting — it ages your body.
A new study shows repeated heatwaves can age you as much as smoking or drinking.
Climate change is literally speeding up our biological clock.

Long-term study suggests that the more heatwaves people are exposed to, the more it accelerates body ageing.

Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.
