Retired NOAA here. I'm so sorry.😔

Here's hoping you can get a suitable job in Europe, if that's your preference, shortly. Thank you for your invaluable work.

Yes!!

As someone who began his career at GFDL (as a grad student in the late 1980s), I'm saddened by this...

Thanks Zack. It’s an absolute disgrace what these #TruskMumpProject2025 anti-science arsonists are doing and the fact that it’s intentional makes it a thousand times worse.

Thank you for sharing this truth.

Thank you for sharing. Thank you for reporting. @voosen.me

Thanks for sharing Zack! (more outstanding outreach from you, but on a sorry topic) ...what a disaster

No amount of clever technology can cover the gap that is forming. “Artificial intelligence,” he says, “cannot compensate for a lack of human intelligence.”

This is criminal.

This is so disturbing and painful. The scope covered by NOAA in the US is covered in Europe by EUMETSAT and (plus) ECMWF. There shall be a program to welcome NOAA and NASA earth sciences scientists there.

Terrible losses - thanks for sharing

My dad worked for NOAA for years and years. The sound of him rolling in his grave is scaring the cats.

(the Social Sciences departments at U of Guelph picked my thesis as the top one for that year, and said it was because I used multiple models .... first time I'd won anything, and it was partly thanks to GFDL)

I am so sorry to hear this. Truly heartbreaking blow to climate science. Sincerely, fuck this shit!

This part ...just ... Research and innovation has been vital to the US's standing globally. We were considered leaders once. Now? We are facing a potential brain drain by forcing out the brilliant individuals who contribute to that. Hello other (insert country here), we have a gift for you....

Oh no, I’m so sorry you were part of these firings!

Oh no! Zack, I'm so sorry

Just horrific.

I am sorry that all federal workers like you have been treated so horribly.

Bill Nye has been giving interviews explaining the privatization plans for NOAA. SpaceX and Starlink would replace NOAA. www.msn.com/en-us/techno...

Hopefully EU will step in and new openings will be created at ECMWF and in other research institutions.

😱

Thank you for your dedication. Our lives have been better due to the work of you and your colleagues. Remember, it is not over until it is over. Our country is better due to your efforts.

I am really sorry. What a catastrophe.

Narratives about climate modeling and the people/groups with breakthrough impact humanize the ‘heavy lift’ that rarely makes headlines but should. I had the pleasure of coordinating on early ‘wedge theory’ with GFDL decades ago. Believer in SISU and that climate research momentum resumes. 🌎
