Dear President Trump:
The United States of America needs the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR).
On behalf of the scientific societies we represent, we write to express our strong support of NCAR and the full breadth of scientific research undertaken by the scientists of NCAR.
The to the United States and the world are enormous. Since its inception in 1960, NCAR has made ground-breaking advances in weather, water and climate science. Working with partners within the U.S. as well as across the world, NCAR scientists have provided crucial insights on severe storms, flash floods, drought, air quality, wildfires, climate and weather prediction, . These discoveries improve early warnings and weather forecasts, ensure enhanced transportation safety by air, sea and ground, and reduce the adverse impacts of hazards. Crucially, they save lives and make America safer!
Recently, the White House announced plans to dismantle NCAR. Sending various parts of NCAR to other cities will isolate expertise and reduce the synergies and enhanced productivity that results when people work together. NCAR is an incredible resource, and losing it would hurt the economic health of the nation and the safety of its people. A better option would be to work to maintain and strengthen NCAR, including through enhanced cooperation with Federal science agencies, academic institutions and private sector researchers.
Science improves lives and drives economic prosperity. Scientific innovation promotes public safety, enables new businesses and helps us thrive in a competitive global marketplace. The U.S. has long been a world leader in all science, including the science of environmental prediction. The nation’s strong support of science over the past century is a foundation of our success.
A strong NCAR will lead to further forecast improvements that enhance our national well-being. We stand ready to work with the administration and leaders in Congress to ensure that U.S. scientific capabilities, including with respect to environmental prediction, remain second to none.
