As Americans are hunkering down this weekend, congressional Republicans are stripping away the science that keeps us safe and prepared for future extreme weather.

NCAR isn't just a lab, it's the beating heart of US meteorology.

The US is bracing for extreme weather. Republicans are making it harder to forecast and prepare for it. Headline screenshot: A massive winter storm will hit large parts of the US through the weekend. Picture of the winter storm moving east over a map of the US, with severity of the storm indicated in gradations of red to blue. Republicans in Congress are shutting down NCAR. The National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, CO, is home to scientists that track and forecast our weather. They maintain large-scale models, collect data, and accurately pinpoint when dangerous weather conditions start to develop. Picture of two scientists looking at a monitor. As weather becomes more extreme, accurate forecasts mean better preparation. Better preparation can mean the difference between saving people's lives, or stranding them. If Congress shuts down NCAR, we will be flying blind. Take Action to #SaveNCAR tr.ee/save-ncar

When we are informed, we are prepared. When we are prepared, we save lives. NCAR keeps us informed.

Friends at @standupforscience.bsky.social remind everyone today, this matters — especially as a winter storm approaches.

Weather apps, better warnings, more precise forecasts come from NCAR research.

I know there's a lot right now @kaine.senate.gov and @markwarner.bsky.social. Do what you can.

2 minutes on the National Center for Atmospheric Research, what they do, why it matters, and why the people there are being baselessly attacked.
