This is the Silicon Valley spirit they're bringing to the government.

They are just going to go to each department one by one and destroy it. This was spelled out in Project 2025. We need to be better prepared to stop it.

The US tax payer will still pay to collect the meteorological data and run the computer models, which costs money to do.

Accu Weather has been talking about this scenario for decades.

And they just don’t study hurricanes. NOAA.gov has an very detailed report on what this agency is involved in and a disruption with this very essential agency would be catastrophic for the knowledge we already know and the on going experimental research that saves lives not just in the US. NOAA is vital to us in hurricane affected Gulf states as well as the east coast..what could they possibly cut that would not have consequences for the men n women risking their lives to keep us safe?

of the ongoing Kristallnacht against the entirety of the federal government and US democracy itself? Or do we have to rely on foreign dispatches for anything resembling actual news about our own country? You know, like the average citizen of banana republican dictatorship?

From the article:

Project 2025, written by several former Trump staffers, has called for the agency to be “broken up and downsized”, claiming the agency is “harmful to US prosperity” for its role in climate science.

Rosenberg noted it’s been a longtime goal of corporations that rely on Noaa data to prevent the agency from making the data public, instead of giving it directly to private corporations that create products based on it, such as weather forecasting services.
