A group of universities that oversee the country’s largest federal climate research center filed a lawsuit Monday challenging the Trump administration’s attempts to dismantle the lab.
The suit challenging the decision to break up the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) alleges the Trump administration is waging a “widespread and coordinated campaign of punishment and coercion” against the state of Colorado over ongoing tension between President Donald Trump and the state’s governor, Jared Polis.
It was filed by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), a nonprofit research group made up of colleges and universities that operates the center, which is headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, and is the country’s premier research institute for weather modeling and climate science. The Trump administration announced in December that it planned to break up the center.
“UCAR and NCAR are collateral damage,” the lawsuit says.
Trump’s disagreements with Polis stem from his concerns about mail-in voting in Colorado and the prosecution of a county clerk who was convicted on state charges of tampering with election equipment in the 2020 presidential election, which Trump lost and has falsely claimed was rife with fraud. Trump had pushed for Polis to release the clerk and ban mail-in voting, according to the complaint.
