Damn president is calling for NCAR to close! [View all]

The National Center for Atmospheric is a beautiful building and campus in southwest Boulder. We often go hiking on their trails for the scenery and wildlife viewing. I enjoy taking house guests there to show off our area. It is a Colorado Gem. It will put over 1,000 people out of work, including 600+ scientists.

Speculation that he's doing this as revenge over Governor Polis for not pardoning Tina Peters the former Mesa County clerk convicted for voter fraud. I'm sure it's an added bonus that it will also stifle atmospheric research and keep us from learning how fucked we are.

I am beyond livid.
