On July 29, 2025, the Department of Energy (DOE) published a report from its Climate Working Group (CWG). This report features prominently in the EPA's reconsideration of its 2009 Endangerment Finding. In response, over 85 scientists have come together to write a comprehensive review, which is

🧪 BREAKING (good news): Senate subcommittee says NO! to Trump's proposed slashes to NASA & NSF funding.
Today, the subcommittee said to keep NASA + NSF funding at $33.9 billion, the same as in FY24.
See 7:15 below. Full Senate appropriations committee meets tomorrow about it.

Proposed NOAA budget zeros out ALL climate laboratories and cooperative institutions.
GFDL, NSSL, GML, etc.
This appears to also end the US greenhouse gas sampling network, including at Mauna Loa, the oldest continuous carbon dioxide monitoring site on Earth.

Let it be known for the future of science in the US: the redearcher where there, they did the work to prove the merit of their work, way past anything the private sector does to vet ideas. They were there, ready to work, and the country failed them.
Well. It happened. Today we were told that our NASA proposal was selected, but they can’t fund it due to the budget cuts. Nothing like getting a congratulations and we’re sorry in the same email. Only 4 proposals were selected in the call out of >120. Please excuse me as I go throw things.

This is devastating. Brilliant colleagues axed because the administration is afraid of scientific independence. I expect they'll come for all of us. We will keep working until then and elsewhere after the axe fall.
