Project 2025 plans to dismantle the federal agency that tracks hurricanes

Allison Fisher at MMFA:

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the federal agency that predicts changes in climate, weather, oceans, and coastlines and provides data that informs lifesaving forecasts such as tracking hurricanes, is in the crosshairs of Project 2025, the conservative battle plan for a potential second Trump presidency which describes NOAA as a “colossal operation that has become one of the main drivers of the climate change alarm industry.” But researchers have pushed back on these charges and defended NOAA’s climate data and meteorological work — while forecasters are predicting an “extremely active” Atlantic hurricane season and experts say this summer could rival last year’s record heat. 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.

Project 2025’s chapter attacking NOAA was penned by Thomas Gilman, a former Trump Commerce Department official who recommends that the agency “should be dismantled and many of its functions eliminated, sent to other agencies, privatized, or placed under the control of states and territories.” Among other recommendations for how NOAA “should be broken up and downsized,” Gilman’s chapter for Project 2025 calls for the National Weather Service to “fully commercialize its forecasting operations”; demands that research from the National Hurricane Center and the National Environmental Satellite Service be reviewed to ensure it is “presented neutrally, without adjustments intended to support any one side in the climate debate”; and suggests the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research “should be disbanded” as “the source of much of NOAA’s climate alarmism.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023]

Experts say Project 2025’s cuts to NOAA could have devastating impacts on climate research and weather forecasting. E&E News notes: “The National Hurricane Center’s mission is centered on informing and warning the public about potentially deadly storms, and as part of that work, it has connected the effects of climate change to hurricane intensity. The brushback it gets in the Project 2025 playbook speaks to past insinuations from Republicans that government agencies are manipulating data to make climate change appear worse.” Speaking to The Guardian, former NOAA official Andrew Rosenberg said the agency “basically reports the science as the scientific evidence accumulates and has been quite cautious about reporting climate effects,” adding, “It’s not pushing some agenda.” And meteorologist Chris Gloninger said Project 2025’s recommendations are “a sign that the far right has ‘no interest in climate truth.’” [E&E News, 4/10/24; The Guardian, 4/26/24]

Project 2025 has plans that would adversely affect weather gathering operations if Convicted Felon Donald Trump gets back in again.

New Digitized Collection Alert!

Thomas Gilman was an enslaved man brought to California during the Gold Rush to mine for his enslaver. He was able to save enough to buy his freedom for $1,000 (about $38,000 today) after working for 2-3 years. As a free man, he went on to buy property in Shaw's Flat and lived there until he passed away in 1911. In addition to his freedom papers, the collection also has several poll tax receipts he paid, receipts for various other taxes and services, an account book, and a subpoena. 

The images in this post include a photo of Gilman next to his cabin, his real estate tax postcard from 1906-1907, and his water bill from 1907.

Top Potential Freestyle Matches To Watch At Worlds

Top Potential Freestyle Matches To Watch At Worlds

#1 Taha Akgul vs Amir Zare Zare is the man to beat now at the 125kg weight class with his performance in Oslo knocking off Akgul and Petriashvili to win the world title as a 20 year old. The only reason these two are on the list and not Geno Petriashvili is because they will probably be the top 2 seeds at the tournament. There will most likely be a Taha Akgul vs Geno Petriashvili semifinal at…
