"[C]limate change is just a very, very expensive form of tax."

"I believe in climate change caused by human beings. What I'm skeptical about is the glib notion that it means the end of the world as we know it."

"The clock is no longer just ticking, it is banging."

"There is no long-term prosperity without action on climate change."

"The time for seeking global solutions [to climate change] is running out."

"The climate crisis is the existential threat. That's not hyperbole; it's a fact."

"[W]e are killing our planet."

Climate change is "above all, an existential crisis."

"Climate change is one of the greatest challenges mankind faces."

"If we don't take action, the collapse of our civilisations and the extinction of much of the natural world is on the horizon."

"Humanity is on thin ice — and that ice is melting fast."

"We haven't yet exceeded the bounds of viable human civilisation, but we're getting close."

"The One Big Beautiful Bill is phasing out preferential tax credits for intermittent, costly, and unreliable green energy projects!"

"With the One Big, Beautiful Bill we can unleash American energy development."

"The US is falling behind when it comes to clean energy investment. This is about to get worse."

This bill is "cruel, costly, and damaging to our climate."

Trump's bill "brings a sledgehammer to clean energy in America — hurting our fight against climate change while raising energy costs and slashing good-paying jobs."

These bills "push those goals [to cut greenhouse gases 61 to 66 percent below 2005 levels by 2035] far out of reach."

"Yes. Unquestionably [this bill will harm clean energy development and manufacturing across the country]."

Will the One Big Beautiful Bill Act Put U.S. Climate Goals Out of Reach?

White House Office of Management and Business (OMB) Russ Vought on Tuesday announced that the National Science Foundation will be breaking up the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colo., stating that "vital activities such as weather research will be moved to another entity or location."

White House Office of Management and Business (OMB) Russ Vought on Tuesday announced that the National Science Foundation will be breaking up the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colo., stating that "vital activities such as weather research will be moved to another entity or location."

In response to the announcement, Colorado Democratic Gov. Jared Polis stated that the state "has yet to receive information about the Trump administration's intentions" regarding the NCAR, adding that "public safety is at risk" if the administration goes forward with this plan.

In addition, Antonio Busalacchi, president of the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), NCAR's parent organization, said in a statement that it didn't have any further information about the administration's plans but that dismantling the center "would set back" the country's ability to "predict, prepare for, and respond to severe weather."

NCAR, founded in 1960, is responsible for many scientific advances in understanding weather and climate, with its research aircraft and computer models widely used in forecasting weather events and disasters around the country.

The administration plans to eliminate what it calls "green new scam" research activities during an upcoming review of the center, while vital functions such as weather modeling and supercomputing will be moved to another entity or location.

NCAR's staff is made up of about 830 employees who are part of UCAR, a nonprofit consortium of more than 130 colleges and universities focused on research and training in Earth system sciences.
