Trump Administration Plans to Dissolve Major Climate Research Center

Credited from: CBSNEWS

The Trump administration plans to dissolve the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR).
This move is part of a broader strategy to cut federal funding for climate research.
Concerns have been raised about the impact on public safety and scientific discovery.
Governor Jared Polis warns that dismantling NCAR could harm the U.S. competitive edge in climate science.
The proposed plans include significant budget cuts to related organizations, notably NOAA.

The Trump administration announced its intention to dissolve the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), citing concerns over "climate alarmism," according to CBS News. White House Office of Management and Budget Director Ross Vought indicated that any essential operations, such as weather research, will be relocated to other facilities. "This facility is one of the largest sources of climate alarmism in the country," Vought stated on social media.

This decision represents the administration's ongoing effort to cut federal climate research funding. The planned dissolution of NCAR is part of sweeping budget cuts that include a proposed 28% reduction to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) operations and a significant decrease to its Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research, which oversees crucial climate science work, as reported by Reuters and Channel News Asia.
