As planet warms, past episodes of the natural #weather phenomenon may no longer be a reliable guide of how the next one plays out.
“We are now in a different base line #climate,” said Clara Deser, a senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (#NCAR). That means past El Niños don’t necessarily tell us how the El Niños of the future will look.

The National Center for Atmospheric Research based in #Colorado is a #NSF program that enables broadly the entire research and academic communities across the USA to operate properly.

Last December, OMB made the shocking announcement that it intended to dismantle #NCAR

Details are now emerging on the motivations for this action ::

Die US-Regierung will eines der bedeutendsten Atmosphärenforschungszentren der Welt wegen angeblichem „Klimaalarmismus“ zerschlagen. Über 830 Wissenschaftler:innen bangen um ihre Zukunft. Wer Klimaforschung angreift, gefährdet nicht nur die Wissenschaft – sondern uns alle.

Angriff auf US-Forschungsinstitut: Vergiftete Atmosphäre

Die US-Regierung will ein bedeutendes Forschungsinstitut wegen „Klimaalarmismus“ zerschlagen – ein Racheakt gegen das demokratisch regierte Colorado? Ein Ortsbesuch.

I've taken a crack at preserving #NCAR 's Java METAR viewer, which is miraculously still up-and-running after all these years. Some reverse engineering of how it ingests data is probably still needed.

Hiding the truth doesn't make the truth any less true.

"The National Center for Atmospheric Research, or NCAR, a world-renowned laboratory of the National Science Foundation, faces an uncertain future after a surprise announcement on Dec. 16. The news was delivered not in a formal policy document but on social media, where the director of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget posted on X that the administration will break up NCAR, citing it as a source of 'climate alarmism.'"
