I would personally like to extend a "fuck you" to any and all chasers and/or meteorologists that voted for Trump

The National Climate Assessment, and all special reports and past assessments, are now offline. Federal climate science is being systematically erased.

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/ COβ‚‚ Monitoring Gutted
Who’s hit: NOAA’s Global Monitoring Lab.

- Mauna Loa, Barrow, South Pole, Samoa, Greenland sites...cut
- 50 stations gone
- No baseline COβ‚‚ 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

30.06.2025 18:31 πŸ‘ 4 πŸ” 1 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

7/ Shutdown of Arctic + Ocean Climate Monitoring
Who’s hit: PMEL, GML + Cooperative Institutes.

- End of Argo floats, Mauna Loa COβ‚‚ obs, and ocean acidification tracking
- No monitoring of ENSO, Gulf Stream shifts, or marine heatwaves

6/ Crippled Air Quality Forecasts
Who’s hit: PSL + CIRES.

- No smoke or ozone transport modeling
- Air stagnation + pollution events become invisible to forecasters

30.06.2025 18:31 πŸ‘ 4 πŸ” 1 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

5/ Halted Satellite Algorithm Development
Who’s hit: CIRA (CSU) + CIRES (CU Boulder).

- GOES-R + JPSS satellite products stop improving
- Storm tracking, fire detection, lightning mapping degrade

30.06.2025 18:31 πŸ‘ 4 πŸ” 1 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

4/ No More HYSPLIT for Disasters
Who’s hit: Air Resources Lab (Maryland).

-HYSPLIT modelβ€”used for smoke, chemical leaks, nuclear falloutβ€”shut down
- No NOAA support during events like East Palestine derailment or volcanic eruptions

3/Weakening Severe Weather Warnings
Who’s hit: NSSL + CIWRO (Oklahoma).

-End of β€œWarn-on-Forecast”—no more 1 hr tornado warning goal
-No field work: no mobile radar, no lightning mapping, no sounding balloons

30.06.2025 18:31 πŸ‘ 5 πŸ” 1 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

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
-Ocean heat content obs slashedβ€”key to tracking rapid intensification

1/🧡The cost of gutting NOAA’s weather research labs

If Congress approves the current NOAA budget request, here’s what America stands to lose in weather & climate forecasting. (Spoiler: It’s a lot.)

Haven’t looked at the Synoptics and background env, but the outlook alone reminds me of May 24th last year. (I believe that was greenfield day)

Almost all NOAA Research websites that rely on cloud services - including Amazon, Google and WordPress - are poised to disappear at midnight ET Saturday after a contract was targeted for "early termination." Labs may also feel the effects.
