E.P.A. Says It Will Eliminate Its Scientific Research Arm

Terrible Friday news dump.The wealth of expertise. The decades of scientific progress. The emerging and urgent challenges we were focused on tackling. It is all so short-sided and cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/18/c...

As of today, all current NOAA Climate and Global Change postdoctoral fellows have been furloughed due to the Dept of Commerce not releasing the funding for the program. In addition no new Fellows were awarded this year. cpaess.ucar.edu/cgc

Proposed NOAA budget would shutter Boulder’s world-class climate research laboratories The plan follows through on Project 2025, which called to radically shrink the agency’s research arm.

Please pass to NYC friends and colleagues - Tuesday May 20 12-4 pm sidewalk "open house" at NASA's fabled - and soon DOGE-shuttered Goddard Institute for Space Studies.

I'm so sorry for how you have been treated, Zack. You deserve better!

6 Reasons NOAA Matters As Hurricane Season Approaches The Atlantic hurricane season is a few weeks away. Here are 6 things that NOAA provides the nation as the ominous storm season looms.

Hurricane season is only a few weeks away. Coming off a 2024 season that brought Helene and Milton, my Sunday essay on what NOAA provides the nation during a typical season. I couldn't cover everything, but I hope this helps the public understand their value.

Article II, Section 1, Clause 8 Presidential Oath of Office

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

Dear NOAA: Thank You To my fellow NOAA employees—especially those of you who are departing in 2025—thank you! When I look back on my childhood dream and see how much of it came true and even surpassed what I dreamed of—it brings tears to my eyes. I owe so much of it to you. Your initiative, exploration, and discovery. Thank you for your service and Godspeed wherever life takes you.

Thanks to the creators of this !

National Climate Assessment Authors Are Dismissed by Trump Administration The Trump administration told researchers it was “releasing” them from their roles. It puts the future of the assessment, which is required by Congress, in doubt.

All Authors Working on Flagship U.S. Climate Report Are Dismissed www.nytimes.com/2025/04/28/c...

Congratulations!

Dislike! I'm so sorry Ann Marie.

Very cool! I didn't know that existed. Clever solution to the power problem.

White House Proposal Could Gut Climate Modeling the World Depends On Potential funding cuts for NOAA and its research partners threaten irreparable harm not only to climate research but to American safety, competitiveness, and national security.

They simply want to cancel an entire field of science because they don't like the answers it has come up with. It's like the burning of the library of Alexandria. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Take the time to leave a public comment. Political appointees should not drive science forward...evidence should.

NEW: Just sent this letter to Trump’s @CommerceGov Secretary demanding an immediate stop to staffing cuts, funding freezes, and program terminations at @NOAA. Hurricane season starts on June 1. There’s no time to waste!

Trump cuts would cripple NOAA’s wide-ranging science partnerships The agency's cooperative institutes study everything from salmon stocks to tropical cyclones.

“The administration intends to make significant cuts to education, grants, research and climate-related programs in NOAA, the plan says, which the administration believes
‘are misaligned with the ... expressed will of the American people.’"

The American people:

Trump’s budget plan eviscerates weather and climate research, and it could be enacted immediately | CNN The cuts could cripple US industries — including agriculture — that depend on free, accurate weather and climate data and expert analysis. It could also halt research on deadly weather, including seve...

Trump is destroying US weather forecasting and research because he dislikes the word "climate":

"While the phrase 'climate change' refers to manmade influence on climate via planet-warming pollution, 'climate' in NOAA parlance is simply weather observed over time..."
