Another authoritarian attack with huge global repercussions. Scientists *everywhere* rely on NCAR models. Eg, local authorities in the Global South rely on it to try to predict disasters.
Rep’s think this is their move on the “climate culture wars”, but this decision would literally kill people.

One of NCAR's contributions to climate science is the development of the Community Earth System Model (CESM), which is used by researchers worldwide. Here's a simulation of air-sea CO₂ fluxes from CESM.

An insane political move. One of the recurring complaints about immigration in the U.S. is that those seeking asylum jump the line. This is line-jumping — but for rich people, not those in need.
