Summary

Donald Trump has nominated Neil Jacobs to lead NOAA, known for his role in the 2019 “Sharpiegate” scandal, where Trump altered a hurricane forecast map to include Alabama.

Jacobs, then acting NOAA chief, faced criticism for his rebuke of forecasters who contradicted Trump’s misinformation.

NOAA is also a target in Project 2025, which seeks to dismantle climate-focused agencies.

    At the same time that musks brown shirts marched into the noaa headquarters and started yelling about shutting it down. What makes more sense for the betterment of America, keep noaa running or let a private company called accuweather run it all.
