Vengeance or ignorance? BOTH! From a vengeful, ignorant asshole.
Vengeance or ignorance? Targeting NCAR threatens us all
Re: “Trump moves to shut down NCAR,” Dec. 18 news story
The National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder reportedly is being targeted for dismantling, not because of its performance or value but for political reasons.
This comes directly on the heels of a request that Gov. Jared Polis pardon Tina Peters — a request the governor lawfully refused. The timing should concern every American.
NCAR is not a regional institution. It is a national and global scientific asset. Its research improves weather forecasting, disaster preparedness, wildfire and flood modeling, aviation safety, water management and national security planning. NCAR’s work saves lives, reduces economic losses from extreme weather, and provides critical data relied upon by U.S. allies around the world.
My only glimmer of hope today is that we Americans are one day closer to the end of his term and this madness.
