200+ Climate Scientists Launch 100-Hour Livestream Marathon to Protest Funding Cuts

In response to the Trump administration's cuts to climate research funding for organizations like NASA and NOAA, over 200 US climate and weather scientists have launched a five-day, 100-hour YouTube livestream marathon. The event features mini-lectures, panels, and Q&A sessions, aiming to educate the public about meteorology and climate science while advocating for increased research funding. With over 77,000 views in its first 30 hours, the livestream highlights the scientists' efforts to demonstrate the value of their work and warn against the potential disastrous consequences of funding cuts, impacting agriculture, coastal communities, and disaster warning systems.
