I would struggle to trust academics who unselfconsciously employ a corporate branding label used for everything from linear regression to Gaussian process models to domain-appropriate deep learning models to synthetic media generation machines

I have had the great privilege of being a visitor at NCAR for the past ~3 yrs & can tell you that the people there care deeply about making community-driven & useful tools and providing climate & weather info needed for US and global decision-makers, and are just genuinely good & caring people. 1/n

"Has feminism failed women brought to you by bank of america" is my MKULTRA sleeper agent activation phrase

85% of >7200 California schools experienced tree loss from 2018-2022, and some Central Valley school districts lost 25% of their tree cover. Schools had less than half the tree cover of surrounding urban areas. eos.org/articles/cal...

Some savvy broadcaster out there should do counterprogramming about the actual state of feminism, what is working, what needs improvement, with a diverse panel of smart women. It would be awesome. Anyway. I’m around.

Awesome turnout in support of @ncar-ucar.bsky.social at #AGU25. Take a look at how many people use our products!

This looks like a cool job... www.researchgate.net/job/1034278_...

CO senators are fighting to protect NCAR thehill.com/homenews/sen...

Three years ago, I graduated with my PhD on an incredibly cold December day! My Texan family lasted 10 minutes outside to take this photo before begging me to go indoors 😂 I'm so proud of all the science I've been able to accomplish in the last three years, all while moving across the country twice!

@ncar-ral.bsky.social President Dr Antonio Busalacchi is giving an emergency press briefing at #AGU25 Says he has really seen outpouring support from community today at AGU NCAR is the "jewel in the crown" of efforts to predict the Earth as a coupled system, he tells journalists

Dismantling NCAR will "set back the scientific field for decades" internationally, he says. "The international scientific community look to the United States as leaders in the field of weather and water and climate - and we are stepping back from that."

This is not just "NCAR boosterism," folks. There are multiple empirical measures by which this is correct--and also, if you took a random sampling of atmospheric & Earth scientists from around the world, I'd bet that a substantial majority of them would agree. NCAR is truly irreplaceable.

Why did Setlik III have so few Security Sensors? There can be no excuse for that. In the post-warp age, it just doesn’t get worse!!! -President Gul Dukat #StarTrek #Sisko197

One year ago "Deep Space Nine" was DEAD! Now, Terok Nor is the HOTTEST station in the Alpha Quadrant! Everyone is saying it. #StarTrek #Sisko197

People are willing to forgo a significant portion of their earnings—between 12-36% of their wages—to avoid hostile work environments. Women exhibit a stronger aversion to exclusionary workplaces and environments with sexual harassment.

Happy to see this paper out - engineering estimates of company-level stranded assets implied by a 2 degree temperature target derived from ownership of individual energy assets. Congrats to lead author Robert Fofrich and @stevenjdavis.bsky.social

Threatening to dismantle NCAR, our premier weather and climate research institute (apparently) because Colorado refuses to pardon someone accused of tampering with voting machines is a sad example of our current kakistocracy in action… www.nytimes.com/2025...

No power, no problems here in south Boulder!! It's time to read some books by candlelight 👍

Their hope is that climate science itself will somehow fade off into the distance. But the ideal of NCAR is a successful meme, that has spread far and wide through the climate science community. We share, we volunteer, we organize, and we collaborate. And we will continue our work, come what may 2/2

That the NCAR Mesa lab is beautiful is no accident. Assigning a beautiful place and building to the important task of understanding our planet speaks of a society that values both this undertaking, and the people who do it. To take that away is emblematic of attempts to undermine this status. 1/2

The Trump administration announced plans to close NCAR, citing its role in climate change research. But three officials told CNN they believe this is really part of the White House's plan to punish CO governor and free Tina Peters. WH did not deny the connection. www.cnn.com/2025/12/17/c...

I mean, just look at it. It's a towering physical monument to the persuit of better understanding the science of the Earth. Generations of young climate scientists from across the world have been mentored in its sandstone walls. The symbolism of this attack on free science is unparalleled.

“NCAR has played a greater role in advancing weather prediction & atmospheric modeling than perhaps any other single entity in the world,” says @weatherwest.bsky.social Dismantling NCAR would be “like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.” KH

AGU has a Congressional email and call script up on NCAR:

49 (cont). NSF notice of intent to restructure NCAR

I wrote to my representatives @hirono.senate.gov @schatz.bsky.social, and Ed Case to tell them to stop the dismantlement of NCAR. You can do the same with your representatives at this link.

Now, it’s NCAR. wapo.st/3MPOwQG

NCAR’s Mesa Lab is literally a science castle dedicated to understanding our planet in an open and collaborative way, and leading the world in that effort. We cannot let this happen.

It is hard to overstate how critical @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is to climate science in the US and around the world. It's the beating heart of our field. Generations of scientists have trained there, and almost everyone I know relies on deep collaborations with NCAR scientists. It's end is unthinkable.

I came to the US over 10 years ago for a postdoc at NCAR. It changed my life and supercharged my ability to do science. NCAR's unique community nature makes it a global node in atmospheric and climate research. It's really not possible to overstate its value for science and society.

Hi everyone, my PhD would not exist without support from NCAR. I had an Advanced Study Program (ASP) student fellowship in 2013 where I implemented the HumanIndexMod into CESM, representing the direct and indirect effects heat on human/systems/animals within Earth system modeling. NCAR is the best!

"Luigi Mangione cannot take a bad picture" is rapidly reaching "mass can neither be created nor destroyed" levels of scientific validity

This would be a huge win. This was their chance to put their "red team" views into the official record and the best they could do was to present an epic failure. They'll claim it was just ideological opposition, but in the end their view of the science crashed and burned in front of everyone.

As James says, this isn't even about climate. It's about all the tools, platforms, models, datasets we use to study and forecast weather and understand how it impacts people, too.

These people are nuts. NCAR developed the GPS dropsonde, which revolutionized the understanding of TC structure, improved forecasts, and validated remote sensing platforms, as documented in over 400 peer-reviewed publications in the last 25 years. And that’s just one of NCAR’s countless advances.

These national labs are so central to Boulder. I look at NCAR every time I walk out my door in South Boulder, this is so sad.

It's proably not hyperbolic to say that a visit to NCAR in 2015 is the basis for 95% of my career. NCAR is why I know anything about super computing or international research collaborations or atmospheric data collection or public interpretation. That visit is where it all came together for me.

A deeply dangerous — and blatantly retaliatory action against Colorado — by the Trump administration. NCAR is one of the most renowned scientific facilities in the WORLD — where scientists perform cutting-edge research everyday. We will fight this reckless directive with every legal tool we have.

I am shocked to even read this. Fight back Americans. This is world class climate and weather research we expect to support with our taxes. It is non partisan. When will we stand up & repudiate him? Damn those who are complicit with his lies, corruption, pedophilia and collusion with Russia

An absolute bedrock institution for understanding how the planet works, just civilization-scaled vandalism by the most incurious morons on Earth

Most of the scientists at the nonprofit that I cofounded, including my two cofounders, came from NCAR. It’s hard to overstate the importance of this place for climate science.

Friends at NCAR, we're with you. @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is a trailblazer in community modelling driven not by idealogy, but by open science. We share all our code, thoughts, ideas. These can't be shut down. We'll fight and find every mechanism to support the ongoing CESM community.

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership. Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources. Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet. Unbelievable.

Closing this world-leading climate research centre would be a disaster for the science of climate and our understanding of climate change - which gets more important to everyone, every day. I spent a formative couple of weeks there in 2013, it was welcoming, open, classy, excellent and beautiful.
