In May, Dr. Amy McGovern spoke to our Weather & Climate Livestream viewers about the transformational impacts of AI research for improved weather forecasts and climate prediction. A month later, she found out her research institute would be defunded.

Trump cuts pose existential threat to the next generation of scientists The future of atmospheric science is going to be shaped by the youth who are seeing our country abdicate its role in advancing science and discovery.

We are heartbroken by the tragedy in Texas and concerned about the spread of misinformation and speculation related to the Weather Service, budget cuts, etc.

Here is a breakdown of what we do (and don't) know, based on excellent summaries and insights from experts in the field (source in replies).

Predicting such storms is at the cutting edge of science right now, and the stakes are rising in a warming world in which they are intensifying. Yet this is precisely the kind of research that NOAA/NSF have funded in the U.S. over decades that is at imminent risk of disappearing.

The Secretary of Commerce's new policy requiring his personal review of all NOAA contracts over $100,000 is directly harming American science. ๐Ÿงช

How do I know? Because this morning, twelve of America's rising leaders in climate science (including myself) were furloughed.
