For clarification, it's *proposed* cuts, and many programs on the list have been on the chopping block before but ended up getting saved. Yay clickbait journalism. Still never good to see even that though. www.dailynebraskan.com/news/breakin...

In conjunction with the AWS Open Datasets team, we are changing the AWS S3 bucket that contains up-to-date NEXRAD Level II archive data. There is a new bucket name and SNS notification topic, but no other changes. The legacy bucket name will be discontinued September 1, 2025. buff.ly/WVBvt26

I am so sad to see this. This organization is essential for understanding pollution and its impacts. The people who work there are incredibly dedicated, experienced, and world leaders. This is incredible loss of national investment and capacity.

Unsolicited parenting advice: If your kids are playing Minecraft, deploy a local server on an isolated VM, and set up daily backups for it. Maybe also dogfood your own JDK builds and one of the concurrent GC you helped develop, if you are into that kind of deeper DIY thing...

Many folks tell us that the hurricane coverage Jeff Masters and I post at Yale Climate Connections helps them stay safe. YCC receives no direct Yale support. If you can, please help us keep our work going by becoming a sustaining donor today:

Cuts at the National Weather Service have left Americans less safe as hurricane season approaches. But with your help, meteorologists Jeff Masters and Bob Henson can continue producing life-saving extreme weather coverage. Will you chip in today?
Why donate to Yale Climate Connections? » Yale Climate Connections
Only 28% of Americans regularly hear about climate change in the media, but 77% want to hear those stories.
