Colorado senators’ bid to save NCAR funding fails as U.S. Senate passes spending bills “In the face of unrelenting political attacks from President Trump, we are standing together to protect institutions like NCAR that are vital to our state and our economy,” Sen. John Hickenlo…

Unfortunately the congressional efforts from Colorado senators to delay & reconsider the review of NCAR was not successful

You just saved NASA's budget Here's what Congress rejected of the draconian cuts faced by NASA in FY 2026.

“…compromise legislation designed to move quickly through Congress. And it did. The House voted 397-28 in favor on Jan 8, the Senate following suit, a vote of 82-15 on Jan 15. Now the bill awaits President Trump’s signature to become law. He is expected to sign”

This is really amazing news.

Both houses of Congress have passed a budget that rejects Trump’s proposed funding cuts, securing level funding to NASA & NOAA.

Several NCAR scientists played key roles in @wcrpclimate.bsky.social Hunga volcano impacts report, released last week.

The NCAR modelling group (Bill Randel & others) led predictions of ozone layer & climate impacts from Hunga’s volcanic aerosol & water vapour.

Bipartisan Congressional coalition formally requests continued funding for National Center for Atmospheric Research Next in series of storm systems into California will likely be most impactful with potential flooding and strong winds through Christmas Eve, while incredible late December warmth spreads east

Great to hear a bipartisan group in congress (both Democrat & Republicans) is seeking to secure adequate funding for NCAR in the upcoming Commerce, Justice and Science (CJS) appropriations bill (deadline 31 Jan 2026).

Earth and Environmental News, Videos and Images At Earth.com, our goal is to provide the internet with a homepage for anything and everything about our planet Earth and the environment.

There is a good explainer news article from Earth.com giving the main science findings from the report.

Pleased to have helped co-ordinate the @wcrpclimate.bsky.social Hunga atmospheric impacts report.

The explosive energy from the VEI6 eruption was likely more than 1991 Pinatubo, on a par with 1883 Krakatau.

Shallow underwater setting saw impacts from emitted sulphur & emitted water vapour.

Available now! International report on global atmospheric impacts of the 2022 Hunga volcanic eruption.

Under the APARC project, this international assessment analyzes the most explosive volcanic event of the satellite era.

Shocked to hear the news Trump is threatening to dismantle NCAR.

But pleased to give talk at AGU annual mtg in today’s CMIP7 natural & anthopogenic forcings session re: SSiRC data recovery project. Aims to improve volcanic forcings in climate models
