Climate scientists are hosting a 100-hour YouTube livestream in response to Trump's research funding cuts

A view of Earth against a dark background of space.

More than 200 climate and weather scientists from across the U.S. are taking part in a marathon livestream on YouTube, planning to share their scientific work and answer questions from viewers for a grand total of 100 hours over the course of five days. The event is non-partisan, and aims to prove the value of climate science in light of the Trump administration's funding cuts to organizations like NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the National Science Foundation (NSF).

The stream kicked off on Wednesday (May 28( at 1 pm ET (1700 GMT), starting with scientists documenting their last few hours at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) as the office was shuttered. It will run until 5:30 pm ET (2130 GMT) on Sunday (June 1), which marks the official start of hurricane season in the U.S.
