It seems that President Trump's continuing war on climate science is going to adversely affect my own "#Arctic citizen science" work:

"I frequently post a summary of the Arctic section of the United States’ National Snow and Ice Data Center’s monthly review of the current state of the #cryosphere.

However, this month I have some additional bad news to report. According to a May 6th 'Level of Service Update for Data Products' from the #NSIDC:

'Effective May 5, 2025, #NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (#NCEI) will decommission its snow and ice data products from the Coasts, Oceans, and Geophysics Science Division (#COGS).

As a result, the level of services for affected products below will be reduced to Basic—meaning they will remain accessible but may not be actively maintained, updated, or fully supported.

Sea Ice Index...

If you rely on these products in your work, research, education, or planning, we invite you to share your story at nsidc@nsidc.org. Your input can help us demonstrate the importance of these data sets and advocate for future support.'

If you are a resident of the US you may also wish to contact your local friendly neighbourhood politician(s) about the matter?"

A friend joked yesterday that Trump wants to annex Greenland to lower the average temperature in the US so he can ignore climate change.

Looking at the NCEI cutting its snow and ice data products on Tuesday and its Billion-Dollar Weather and Climate Disasters database today, I'm starting to wonder if that's actually the plan 😖

#NOAA #NCEI

#NOAA #OAR would be axed entirely, #NCEI loses a quarter of its budget. This would devastate our ability to survive as a species

#NCEI safe for now, but

Some of the websites slated to go down include the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL), the Climate Program Office, the home website of NOAA research and the Earth Prediction Innovation Center, which maintains a cloud-based weather forecasting system developed as a public-private partnership.
The NSSL outage may affect some programs, such as the Hazardous Weather Testbed, that the NWS uses for severe weather forecasting.
