You can’t adapt to what you refuse to measure. Cutting data is not an adaptation strategy; it’s denial

There’s so much happening right now, I thought I’d put together a running thread on the dismantling of #climate and research and knowledge infrastructure in the United States 🧵

Even if this doesn't all happen exactly this way, parts of these directives are ruled illegal, the agency is rebuilt some years from now, etc. the damage that has been done (and is being done every day) will be felt for decades.

This after PGC funding was cut from NSF and NASA. This is a horrible cut to scientific infrastructure and critical services

Ask Your Legislators to Sign on to Letters in Support of NSF and NASA Use this opportunity to stop federal science cuts

Hey frens! @agu.org has these great template letters you can send your representaives to ask them to support funding to NSF and NASA. Make sure to quickly personalize it with your name! agu.quorum.us/campaign/121...

Exclusive: NSF faces radical shake-up as officials abolish its 37 divisions Changes seen as a response to presidential directives on what research to fund

Everyone needs to understand that dismantling NSF will have devastating long term consequences in our competitiveness and innovation in science, technology and beyond. 1/

We applaud our amazing science community (and supporters) for taking it to the streets to stand up for science! ✊

N.S.F. Cuts Raise Fears of a Reduced U.S. Presence in Polar Regions The National Science Foundation has fired workers at the office that manages polar research, raising fears about a reduced U.S. presence in two strategic regions.

Why does science need government funding?

What are the impacts to the US of cutting polar science?

DOGE is taking a wrecking ball to load-bearing staff across the federal government. We have a civic duty to counter its rhetoric about “cutting costs.”

Our bureaucracy is not a business. Civil servants provide essential services equitably and efficiently, and we owe them our support.

Mostly preaching to the choir here, but a group of us moderators over on Reddit's AskScience put together kind of an explainer for the implications of some of the attacks on science funding and infrastructure in the US if it's useful for anyone else to share:

If you work at Goddard, or Space Telescope Science Institute or similar — and work on anything related to space — I want to talk. As The Baltimore Banner continues to cover changes to the fed. workforce, I'm interested in what it means for the future of astronomy. 🛰️ 🔭

The Democrats on the House Science Committee have set up a website to collect stories from fired federal employees, anonymously if desired. Please amplify. (This helps the lawyers establish standing for bringing legal cases against the administration!)

We empathize but we will not stop doing the work! We will get through these 4 years together in whatever ways we have to.

It is time to lean on our communities and networks, be bold. I hope professional organizations, private foundations, and international governments step up

Greenland’s rapidly melting ice and landslide-prone fjords make the oil and minerals Trump covets dangerous to extract Melting ice, thawing permafrost and crumbling fjord walls are just a few of the risks climate change poses for those living and working in Greenland.
