NOAA has started terminating grants to UCAR under the UCAR/NOAA Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Program (CAMP).
My friend, who is also an early career scientist, put the experience of being at AGU this year like this: “This conference usually feels like a running a marathon, but this year it felt like running a marathon while fighting to keep the the finish line from being destroyed”
What's NCAR? and 8 ways it has helped you

This was such an incredible moment — when asked if they used NCAR resources, the entire room, full of scientists from around the world, stood up.
🚨 Calling all geoscientists 🚨 If you or anyone you know is attending #AGU25, please join us and spread the word to #SaveNCAR.

Everyone always asked why I moved to landlocked Colorado to do oceanography. Because it was the world's largest concentration of climate scientists. Because of NCAR and NOAA.
In Boulder, fewer are alarmists; they are overwhelmingly problem solvers.
NCAR's science is patriotic. Vought is not.

#ScienceUnderSiege
do i know anyone who knows anyone that is part of making AGU TV happen? @wclivestream.bsky.social has a favor to ask.
These people are nuts. NCAR developed the GPS dropsonde, which revolutionized the understanding of TC structure, improved forecasts, and validated remote sensing platforms, as documented in over 400 peer-reviewed publications in the last 25 years. And that’s just one of NCAR’s countless advances.
Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.
They're pushing to dismantle NCAR. I have no words other than 🤬
NCAR is quite literally our global mothership.
Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources.
Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.
Unbelievable.
This is the fossil fuel industry spraypainting the lens on the security cameras while they carry off the heist

Preliminary estimates from @noaa.gov indicate 8-12+ inches of rain fell in Western Washington, which equates to about 1.5-2 months worth of rain in 3 days, especially in Okanogan and Chelan counties.

I'm such a big fan of the Graduate Climate Conference!!
NEW: i spoke to nine (!) scientists across several disciplines whose work was cited in the new Department of Energy report that downplays the severity of climate change. all of them say their work was misrepresented, cherry picked, and/or lacked context —
I present to you, with no context whatsoever:

The National Climate Assessment sites all went dark today after the Trump administration announced in April that it would allow the main contract supporting the report to expire.
With no backup plan for hosting the reports elsewhere, it appears they have just been allowed to disappear.
Holy crap this is great! Really shows the stakes. Kudos to @johnmoralestv.bsky.social
John: You’ll have to let us know if you got any angry messages.
NSF, NASA and NIH budgets per year, inflation adjusted from 2000-2025 along with the proposed cuts. NSF includes research component only. Massive cuts across all sectors, well below support spanning 25 years.
The President's Budget request as released yesterday will gut scientific research. Why should you care?
1) Science is fundamentally a jobs program. Many 100,000s are employed to do science and work for you, the US taxpayer.
It's been a long 💯 hours folks! Make sure to tune in for our final speaker and closing statements #saveamericasforecasts
“this idea that you get what you voted for… the reality is that me and everybody else I worked with at NOAA really cares about every single one of the hundreds of millions of people in this country. We don’t care what your personal opinions are—we want you to be safe, we want you to be healthy… “
we're more than halfway through and we're not stopping til we hit 💯. join us: wclivestream.com/watch
The National Weather Service costs every American a 🍔 and a 🥤per year: listen to what former director Joe Friday has to say about the NWS, and tune in as we enter the 24th hour of the Weather & Climate Livestream! wclivestream.com/watch
Just eleven days left until our 💯-hour livestream! We're halfway to our speaker sign up goal, so if you're a meteorologist or climate scientist who's ever been US govt funded, come share your work with the public, and show them why our science is worth saving. Sign up today! wclivestream.com
