The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), a consortium that oversees the research center, has announced it is suing the Trump administration for plans to shut it down. The NCAR provides a home for interdisciplinary and collaborative research, with many of the country's top academic researchers working there. The move is dependent on government support for the research, which has been criticized by the Office of Management and Budget as a source of climate alarmism. The lawsuit alleges that this is all due to President Trump's anger at Colorado and its governor.
