Subject: NSF Intent to Restructure Critical Weather Infrastructure From: Deitsch, Adam M 16:46 To: nsf_ncar@nsf.gov To Whom It May Concern: The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) serves as a fulcrum that supports the delicate balance of multidisciplinary research focusing on foundational understandings of the Earth system. To dismantle and/or privatize the broad swath of resources and knowledge in the web of students, academics, and public servants connected to NCAR would be akin to self-mutilation, as the drain would bring a range of harm to the United States and the world at large. There is no one area of NCAR activities, functions, or platforms that could be viewed as singularly important, but the value could best be described by pointing out the fact that cooperative research and the sharing of accumulated knowledge and skills is one of the greatest strengths of NCAR—bridging gaps in both science and the human experience. The work and output from those who work at NCAR, and those who utilize the computational power and data from NCAR, have a net positive impact for disaster preparedness, human health, national security, and public safety. The cost of dismantling or weakening NCAR goes beyond itemized components of the NCAR budget and will bleed into a financial loss in various industries (e.g., agriculture, air travel, building construction, insurance and reinsurance agencies), and the ultimate cost of loss of lives. To reiterate, the abrupt decisions to look at NCAR, a widely-respected, indispensable public resource, and want to restructure it as a means of trying to turn a profit or balance the books completely undermines the purpose and value of NCAR. The "product" of NCAR is a better world for humanity, not something for sale. Public service isn't a business. Sincerely, Adam M.

Line plot of CSIS data for Terrorist Attacks and Plots in the United States by Perpetrator Orientation, 1994–2025* that matches the line plot in the screenshot of the quoted Axios post below. *2025 data ends July 4th, 2025. There is a steep decline in right-wing terrorism for 2025 compared to 2024, and there is a spike in left-wing terrorism. However, the plot is misleading and a poor representation of the data, as the 2025 value for the left is barely above the lowest value for the right over the past 30 years.
