Trump administration to dismantle key climate research center in Colorado
NegativeScience
- The Trump administration has announced plans to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado, citing concerns over the center's alleged promotion of climate alarmism. This decision has raised alarms among local officials, including Governor Jared Polis, who warned that the dismantling could jeopardize public safety and critical climate research efforts.
- The dismantling of NCAR, described as a 'crown jewel' of climate research, is significant as it threatens to disrupt vital scientific work that informs climate policy and public understanding of climate change. The center has been instrumental in advancing knowledge and research in atmospheric sciences.
- This move reflects a broader trend under the Trump administration, characterized by significant funding cuts to scientific research and institutions, raising concerns about the future of scientific advancement in the U.S. The decision to dismantle NCAR aligns with similar actions targeting other research hubs, indicating a shift away from prioritizing scientific inquiry in favor of political agendas.
