National Center for Atmospheric Research To Be Disbanded?
On December 17th, Nature ran a story entitled ‘Trump team plans to break up ‘global mothership’ of climate science‘
The National Center for Atmospheric Research is the US equivalent of the alarmist UK Met Office.
It is time they were both instructed to focus on their day jobs of forecasting the weather.
The Nature article states:
The administration of US President Donald Trump intends to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), a world-leading Earth-science centre in Boulder, Colorado. The centre’s modelling and Earth observations underpin a wide range of US and global research, especially on climate.
“This facility is one of the largest sources of climate alarmism in the country,” wrote Russell Vought, Trump’s budget director, announcing the planned closure in a post yesterday on the social-media platform X.
In a statement, the White House called NCAR “the premier research stronghold for left-wing climate lunacy”. The plan was first reported by USA Today.
The White House said that the National Science Foundation (NSF), which provides funding for the centre, “will be breaking up NCAR to eliminate Green New Scam research activities. Any vital functions, such as weather modeling and supercomputing, will be moved under the purview of another entity or location.”
On Wednesday, the consortium that runs NCAR received a letter of intent from the NSF regarding the planned breakup of NCAR, consortium president Antonio Busalacchi told Nature.
The letter requested information regarding divesting, transferring or restructuring the various components of NCAR. It mentioned NCAR’s research aircraft fleet and its supercomputing center in Cheyenne, Wyoming, as components that might be relocated. “Morale is terrible,” Busalacchi says.
The decision will need Congress approval.
