From wildfire warnings to flood forecasts, NCAR's research impacts everyone in America.
President Trump's attempt to dismantle it for political vengeance is beyond reckless.
We will fight against this dangerous scheme every step of the way.

I've tried and failed a couple times to write a post explaining how serious this would be. NCAR is globally essential to our climate change response. This can't just be replaced. Every scientist in the world will be doing climate research with one hand tied behind their back for at least a decade
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.
The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

I know everyone is consumed with other news, but this is a big fucking deal: The Trump administration says that IUDs and the Pill are actually abortions.

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God.
Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well.

Gaza is starving. Where are the American Jewish leaders?
A fear of being labelled antisemitic still deters American Jews and Jewish institutions from taking a position that is morally correct.

The Trump administration has proposed devastating cuts to NOAA, including the potential closure of multiple cooperative institutes in Colorado.
Every American should oppose this reckless proposal — and we are building a coalition of lawmakers to do everything we can to defeat it.

This flew under the radar, but thanks to Trump's EPA cuts, Energy Star could shut down for good.
Energy Star isn't just a sticker on your appliances. It's an important program that saves consumers $40B/year.
So much for all that talk about "efficiency."

~45% of US corn production is now used to make ethanol, mostly for mixing into gasoline.
That's ~13% of all US crop land already used for energy production.
Using some of the same land for solar panels would capture 50-100 times more energy per acre.
