A deeply dangerous — and blatantly retaliatory action against Colorado — by the Trump administration.

NCAR is one of the most renowned scientific facilities in the WORLD — where scientists perform cutting-edge research everyday.

We will fight this reckless directive with every legal tool we have.
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.

Based on what I have been hearing about the NCAR situation, no one knew anything until the USA Today article came out. That means there isn’t much actual organization inside the administration to pull this off and a chance to fight back. Call your congresspeople today! Especially republicans.

President Trump is delivering on his promise of retribution against Colorado for the state's mail-in ballots and refusal to release his ally Tina Peters from prison.

The Trump team says it plans to close America's foremost weather lab: NCAR. @marshallglasses.bsky.social reports.

In the span of four days, we’ve built a coalition of over 80 lawmakers — including several Republicans — to stop the dismantling of NCAR.

I’m grateful to them for their efforts as we work to secure language protecting NCAR in the upcoming CJS appropriations bill.

We will not back down!

Proud to build and lead a bipartisan coalition with Rep. Jeff Hurd and @bennet.senate.gov & @hickenlooper.senate.gov — joined by more than 80 of our colleagues in the House and Senate — to protect NCAR in the FY26 NSF appropriations bill.

We will not stop until NCAR is protected — period.

Even after the news last week, we are still doing great research here at NCAR. My group has released a new paper, led by John Schreck, on arxiv about an efficient method for generating calibrated AI weather ensembles with reproducible scale specific perturbations. arxiv.org/abs/2512.18815
Controllable Probabilistic Forecasting with Stochastic Decomposition Layers
AI weather prediction ensembles with latent noise injection and optimized with the continuous ranked probability score (CRPS) have produced both accurate and well-calibrated predictions with far less ...

We're taught that our vote is our voice, but that voice is being drowned out by big money and special interests who seek to dilute our power and push corporate agendas instead.

When trump said he could shoot someone on 5th Ave. and no one would care, did he actually mean none of the billionaires on 5th Ave. would care?

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.

At this point it's bordering on dishonest to keep bringing up protein systhesis or cancer detection when all those data centers and chips and greenhouse gases and trillions of dollars are *really* for lying, theiving chatbots, surveillance capitalism, and unethical porn.

“Why would a man in his 40s, whose main business was real-estate development, want to host a beauty contest for teenage girls?”

If you think about it, there really are no good answers to this question. Creepy as hell.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

The wild thing here is this definitional reckless disregard, about someone who is certainly not a public figure. And the libeler clearly has deep pockets. It’s an obvious and meritorious lawsuit
