A critically important shift is underway regarding federal climate research, as the Trump governance moves to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado. This action, revealed on December 20, 2025, signals a potential reshaping of how the nation approaches understanding and responding to climate change.
The decision stems from criticisms leveled by a top White House official, who characterized NCAR as one of the largest sources of climate alarmism in the country.
A complete review of the lab’s operations is currently in progress, with White House budget director Russ vought announcing plans to relocate vital activities such as weather research
to choice entities or locations.
Understanding the Role of NCAR in Climate Science
For decades, NCAR has served as a cornerstone of climate and weather research, supporting critical work to predict, prepare for, and mitigate the impacts of severe weather events and natural disasters. It’s managed by a nonprofit consortium encompassing over 130 colleges and universities, operating on behalf of the National Science Foundation. I’ve found that this collaborative structure has been key to its success, fostering a diverse and innovative research environment.
