Trump's Breakup of US Weather Research Center Threatens Wildfire, Storm Forecasts
"I'm alarmed. I'm worried. I'm upset. And I think we need to connect the dots between attacks on science and what it means to the safety of Americans,"
"one of the largest sources of climate alarmism in the country."
"any vital activities such as weather research will be moved to another entity or location."
"will set the nation back in being able to respond to extreme weather events."
Officials announced plans to break up the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), with the National Science Foundation shifting or relocating functions. The Office of Management and Budget framed the move as addressing 'climate alarmism' and signaled that 'any vital activities such as weather research will be moved to another entity or location.' State officials and scientists said dismantling NCAR would threaten integrated climate, weather and wildfire research and impair forecasting and response. California faces immediate stakes from atmospheric rivers and recent climate-driven wildfires. NCAR has supported precipitation prediction and snowpack modeling; losing it would hinder national extreme-weather response capabilities.
