I would personally like to extend a "fuck you" to any and all chasers and/or meteorologists that voted for Trump

The National Climate Assessment, and all special reports and past assessments, are now offline. Federal climate science is being systematically erased.

10/ Bottom line:
Congress isn’t just approving a budget. It’s voting to dismantle America’s weather + climate early warning systems.

And we’ll all pay the price when the next fire, flood, or storm comes.

Call your representative TODAY!

9/ CO₂ Monitoring Gutted
Who’s hit: NOAA’s Global Monitoring Lab.

- Mauna Loa, Barrow, South Pole, Samoa, Greenland sites...cut
- 50 stations gone
- No baseline CO₂ data to track global trends

8/ Collapse of U.S. Climate Attribution Science
Who’s hit: PSL, CIRES, CIs across the country.

- No more rapid climate attribution studies
- No science to explain record heatwaves, floods, and droughts in real time

7/ Shutdown of Arctic + Ocean Climate Monitoring
Who’s hit: PMEL, GML + Cooperative Institutes.

- End of Argo floats, Mauna Loa CO₂ obs, and ocean acidification tracking
- No monitoring of ENSO, Gulf Stream shifts, or marine heatwaves

6/ Crippled Air Quality Forecasts
Who’s hit: PSL + CIRES.

5/ Halted Satellite Algorithm Development
Who’s hit: CIRA (CSU) + CIRES (CU Boulder).

3/Weakening Severe Weather Warnings
Who’s hit: NSSL + CIWRO (Oklahoma).

2/ No More Hurricane Forecast Innovation
Who’s hit: Hurricane researchers at AOML + CIMAS.
-Hurricane Forecast Improvement Program (HFIP) collapses
-Next-gen model (HAFS) stalls
-Ocean heat content obs slashed—key to tracking rapid intensification

1/🧵The cost of gutting NOAA’s weather research labs

If Congress approves the current NOAA budget request, here’s what America stands to lose in weather & climate forecasting. (Spoiler: It’s a lot.)

I think about this every damn day. Stupidest country.
One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.
My god. He’s gone after the Civil Rights Act!!!!
