"Trump administration plans to break up largest federal climate research center
Russ Vought, director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, said the National Science Foundation 'will be breaking up' the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado.
The Trump administration plans to break up Colorado’s National Center for Atmospheric Research, the largest federal climate research lab.
Russ Vought, director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, announced the plan Tuesday in a statement on X.
'The National Science Foundation will be breaking up the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado,' Vought wrote, linking to a story from USA Today, which was first to report on the administration’s effort. 'This facility is one of the largest sources of climate alarmism in the country. A comprehensive review is underway & any vital activities such as weather research will be moved to another entity or location.'
The move would be a major setback for climate research in the United States, at a moment when the United Nations and other world leaders have said time is running out to prevent the most devastating effects of global warming.
The University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, NCAR’s parent organization, said in a statement Tuesday that it was aware of reports on a plan to shut down the center but did not have any information about it.
'We look forward to working with the administration to continue our focus on safeguarding the safety and prosperity of our nation,' Antonio Busalacchi, president of UCAR, said in the statement.
In response to NBC News’ inquiry about the plan for NCAR, a senior White House official took aim at Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat.
'Maybe if Colorado had a governor who actually wanted to work with President Trump, his constituents would be better served,' the official said."
The #Trump admin said it was breaking up one of the world’s preeminent #earth & #atmospheric #research institutions over concerns about “#climate alarmism”—a move Democratic ofcls & scientists called an assault on #science & #education.
“The National Science Foundation will be breaking up the National Center for Atmospheric Research (#NCAR)…,” posted #OMB dir #RussVought. “This facility is one of the largest sources of climate alarmism in the country.”

#Trump admin to dismantle key #climate #research center
#Project2025 architect #RussVought, who directs the White House Office of Management and Budget [#OMB], announced plans to split up the National Center for Atmospheric Research [#NCAR] in Boulder, Colorado, citing concerns about “climate alarmism.”

#RussVought, the budget director, is “a right-wing absolute zealot.” And AG #PamBondi “completely whiffed” in handling the #EpsteinFiles.
#SusieWiles described her own reservations about certain policies in real time to Whipple, author of a well-regarded book on White House chiefs of staff, even as debates raged inside the #Trump admin.

…Because exams are confidential, they can identify — &, ideally, stop — small issues that could otherwise mushroom. The #CFPB’s examiners have forced #banks & other #lenders to return hundreds of millions of dollars to #consumers for improper fees & worthless services, & helped uncover high-profile issues like #WellsFargo’s sham accounts scandal.
#law #corruption #government #oversight #Project2025 #RussVought #Trump
And #RussVought has refused to request money for the #CFPB from the #FederalReserve, which funds its operations. The bureau warned in court filings that it would run out of operating cash early next year.
The #Trump admin is pursuing a variety of changes to give it greater sway over how #independent #financial regulators, including the Fed, oversee #WallStreet. Trump’s appointees have slashed supervision staffing & curtailed the scope of agencies’ #bank exams.
The new pledge is, for now, mostly symbolic. #RussVought halted nearly all work at the #CFPB shortly after his arrival in February, & #bank examinations have not resumed. The agency’s hundreds of examiners have been told to spend their time closing out all open matters; they are currently barred from initiating new ones.
“Is this fan fiction I’m reading?” Cat Farman, a bureau employee & the president of the staff union, wrote. She added, “Instead of traumatizing #CFPB workers with his role-play fantasies, Vought should resign so we can finally do our jobs protecting Americans from #WallStreet #fraud again.”
#law #corruption #government #oversight #Project2025 #RussVought #Trump
In a notice announcing the change, the #CFPB described its own supervision department as “the weaponized arm” of the agency under its #Biden-era director & said its exams had been carried out with “thuggery.”
On Monday, the consumer bureau’s staff #union fired back with a statement denouncing the pledge as “creepy” & “disrespectful.”
#law #corruption #government #oversight #Project2025 #RussVought #Trump
On Friday, the #CFPB said it would now require its #financial examiners to recite a “humility pledge” to companies before beginning a review.
“The upcoming supervision examination cycle is going to be fundamentally different from the prior ones,” the pledge begins. It then details a set of changes, including a more limited review scope & an agency commitment to “work collaboratively” with the businesses it oversees.

This is a super freaking weird way of undermining #corporate #accountability.
#Banking is one of the US’ most tightly regulated industries, & confidential bank examinations carried out by independent federal regulators are a core guardrail for protecting the safety & soundness of the financial system.
#RussVought, #Trump #OMB director, is not a fan of how the #CFPB, where he is acting director, has carried out those exams.

#RussellVought is dangerous
While every liberal is toasting #NoKings day as an affront to #Drumpf
#ProPublica , Politico and others concede that the nation's actual cut throat commander in brief and deed is hardcore #RWNJ and avowed #ChristianNationalist #Federalist feudalist #OMB strategist #RussVought
Under his direction, the US has cut billions in so-called #humanitarian federal spending on things that irked #Libertarians like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and even #PresidentReagan's own initiatives like our now defunded #NGO created under his tutelage known as the #InstituteofPeace
