NCAR is not only one of the leaders in climate science, but is an exceptionally important institution for space weather and upper atmosphere modeling. This will be an enormous loss for the scientific community. As someone in the atmospheric and space science community, this decision will have devastating consequences for decades to come.

    This locks in the coming collapse by destroying the possibility of evolving our responses to the climate crisis intelligently and according to real world data. I would say buckle up, but I am not sure how much a seat belt is going to do for any of us at this point but convey a dangerous and false sense that things will work out ok in the end.

    What a shithole country I live in.
