Description
Dr. Mayra Oyola-Merced, Assistant Professor of Atmospheric & Oceanic Sciences at UW-Madison and a host of the Perpetual Notion Machine program on WORT, discusses the importance of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The Trump administration is threatening to dismantle NCAR because of its work on climate change. If the plan proceeds, it would also enact irreparable harm on meteorology and weather forecasting, and undermine current research and the training of future scientists.
