My latest: The mass firings at NOAA can feel abstract. Here's what was lost at one research center -- the birthplace of climate modeling.

Fired staff became U.S. citizens to pursue these dream jobs, only to have their dreams upended.

Like it or not, weather conditions touch everyone. The need to accurately predict potentially damaging weather has not decreased.

Paul, the work of GFDL & Suki Manabe was central to my work on climate & water starting in the 1980s. Their role creating & running the most sophisticated climate models has been central to our understanding of climate change, risk, and response. This is like burning down the library of Alexandria.

(One caveat, of course -- it remains to be seen what the new OPM guidance on probationary employees will mean for NOAA staff.)

Paul, worth mentioning that GFDL is the home institution of Physics Nobel Prize winner Suki Manabe.
