The Trump administration says it plans to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, which is the nation’s premier atmospheric science center. The center was founded in 1960 and has facilitated generations of breakthroughs in climate and weather science. William Brangham discussed the move with climate scientist Kim Cobb and meteorologist Matthew Cappucci.
Don’t forget that the impetus for this came from Trump being mad at Colorado for not accepting his pardon of state crimes.
How can I not forget some of these insane details? It is like trying to read a book marinated in hamburger juice, the original record has been hopelessly degraded and enriched.
