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

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
