Trump’s closure of national weather center may imperil UW-Madison research

The planned closure of the National Center for Atmospheric Research would endanger decades of research at UW-Madison and UW-Milwaukee, scientists say.

From @AGU.org: Senators are working on legislation to save NCAR, but we need extra support for these 8 states. Your Senators in Alabama, Alaska, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Texas, and Wyoming need to hear from you.

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

Save NCAR from being dismantled today!

The Trump Administration has vowed to dissolve the center that provides critical extreme weather and climate data for our nation.
