A reminder to people that during Trump’s term, his nominee to run NOAA was a member of the family that owned the private weather forecasting company AccuWeather, and a strong proponent for dismantling NOAA in favor of privatization/commercialization. The only reason that didn’t happen, is because he withdrew the nomination after it going nowhere for a couple years in the Senate, in large part due to the clear conflict of interest.
For easy research for anyone interested, his name was “Barry Myers”, but suffice to say, Trump and company already tried this during his last administration. It’s not MAGA exclusive, it is an overall Conservative goal, and they will try again next time they either hold the executive branch, or have full control of the legislative branch; in the meantime, they have to rely on the Supreme Court to weaken government agencies.
From their (intentionally ignorant, malevolent) perspective, noaa is politicizing the weather by insisting on the chinese hoax of climate change. Don’t you see they just want to unify everyone in their capitalist utopia, and dont want these commie oceanographers standing in their way.
these mfers spending the week talking about “unity” while plotting to politicize the weather. The weather.
