NCAR is not only one of the leaders in climate science, but is an exceptionally important institution for space weather and upper atmosphere modeling. This will be an enormous loss for the scientific community. As someone in the atmospheric and space science community, this decision will have devastating consequences for decades to come.

    Disregarding politics and the current state of the world, I think those new generations could benefit from a clean slate and maybe rebuild better than the previous generations. The world is currently a pretty dirty place with most people having questionable motivations due to “profit”. Even before trump arrived on the scene. Trump is just a puppet, albeit an evil one, who exposed all of the grift and tried to burn everything down around him for his own self-aggrandizement. There is no “we the people” under his questionable leadership.
