We need your help please. Please share. Chaco Culture National Historical Park in New Mexico is a UNESCO World Heritage Site containing over a thousand years of Indigenous history ancient ruins, sacred sites, and cultural landmarks built by the ancestors of today’s Pueblo peoples.

Absolute shortsighted move as NCAR does far more than climate research. The research and projects provides advancements in atmospheric sciences/meteorology that saves countless lives as well as billions in economic loss year after year. Another idiotic move by the current administration.

125 years ago today: the Great Galveston Hurricane of 1900... 4th deadliest natural disaster in US history. A major hurricane landfall in TX that was well-forecast by the Cubans, and ignored by the US Weather Bureau. Not a shining moment in international relations, and with terrible consequences.

The pure stupidity of cutting these centers will likely carry devastating and potentially deadly consequences. These centers help in repair and maintenance of river and tide gauges which are essential to river and coastal flooding forecasting. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
