The Weather and Climate Livestream
Whether it’s tomorrow’s temperatures or the sea level in 50 years, Americans need to plan for our futures. For generations, the U.S. government has invested in the science that helps us do so, building one of the greatest meteorology and climate science communities in the world.
In recent months, this community has been thwarted in our mission of serving the public due to substantial cuts and firings. These actions have already hurt our forecasts, endangering Americans as hurricane season approaches. Legally required assessments of the climate are being stopped, and far more drastic cuts are being proposed.
But it’s not too late to stop these cuts. Already, public pressure has helped to reopen shuttered weather data centers. To help keep this pressure building, meteorologists and climate scientists from across America want to fulfill our mission by sharing our science with you. So we’re coming to your screens, speaking and answering your questions, for more than 100 hours, in this science-filled, non-partisan event: The Weather and Climate Livestream.
From Wednesday, May 28 to Sunday, June 1, join meteorologists and climate scientists from across the U.S. as we share our work and show you what makes it so vital. We will clarify the impact of the cuts on this research and answer your questions about weather and climate research in the U.S.
