Proposed NOAA budget zeros out ALL climate laboratories and cooperative institutions.

This appears to also end the US greenhouse gas sampling network, including at Mauna Loa, the oldest continuous carbon dioxide monitoring site on Earth.

The tongue of Rhone #Glacier ten days after my last visit. Can you guess how much ice melted away? 1️⃣ meter in terms of thickness! 1️⃣0️⃣ days... And that's just the beginning of the summer season.
We know the times are bad for the ice, but still it is hard to accept these numbers!

We had a really interesting talk by Mathias Rotach from @uniinnsbruck.bsky.social here at @wegenercenter.bsky.social. He showed us the complexity in modeling the mountain boundary layer, and that it is still a long way to robustly represent climate change in local mountain valleys.

When walking through the forest searching for Salamanders I thought for some seconds that nature doesn't really care about what we and politicians and Trump are doing. But while this is correct, the idea of nature as an untouched idyll is dangerously wrong and misleading kitsch.

Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.
