Project 2025’s call to dismantle NOAA by eliminating or privatizing key functions of the agency is the endgame of years of attempts by conservatives and right-wing media to attack the credibility of the agency and the veracity of the data it produces. It also illustrates that the conservative plan is not just to dismantle U.S. climate policy, but also to scrub the climate data that underpins it.
You’re welcome for the heads up Texas. Enjoy it while it lasts…
I look forward to the SCOTUS case declaring NOAA doesn’t have the legality to predict hurricane trajectories.
After all, if Congress wanted NOAA to project hurricane paths, they should create a law that lists every hurricane ever instead of relying on experts.

This aint gonna be a bad one, noone is really worried about it.
Hope you’re doing OK. Heard lots of folks lost power.
Stay safe…
We’re fine, just without power
My mil is freaking out about it. As long as it doesn’t pull a Harvey and sit dumping a years worth of water in a weekend, I’m good. It’s just a cat 1.
