US EditionTrump Administration Moves to Dissolve National Climate Research Lab in Colorado
The Trump administration targets the National Center for Atmospheric Research for dismantling, citing climate alarmism, risking U.S. weather prediction and public safety, experts warn.
- This month, the Trump administration moved to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, with Russel Vought signaling the lab would be broken up.
- Citing `climate alarmism,` Office of Management and Budget justified breaking up NCAR, accusing it of being `one of the largest sources of climate alarmism in the country,` while NCAR scientists have been vocal on climate change commentary.
- NCAR's research spans numerical weather prediction, supercomputing and atmospheric processes, developing climate models and hosting disciplinary meetings and student training programs.
- Scientists warn breaking up NCAR would dramatically weaken U.S. science capability and undermine weather and climate prediction, increasing severe weather risks for Americans including Hawai‘i residents.
- At the AGU meeting this month, scientists urged strengthening NCAR and partnering with NOAA, while advocates called the administration's plan foolish and urged it be shelved.
