Worth pointing out that those gov budget tables use the number in thousands so what you’re looking at is millions and millions being slashed at NOAA. All while weather is getting visibly more insane year to year. This is one that I’ve never been able to fully understand—I know they’re trying to erase climate change as a concept, but all of the other important function that is getting destroyed… I guess they figured no way to talk about bad storms and heat domes without mentioning climate change, so just shut it all down except what you need for military operation and private jets and such…
And didn't the DoD put out a report a few years back detailing how climate change will be an existential threat to america? Or at least the military?
Yeah they have been pretty clear eyed about the potential threat in climate change. Even Trump 1 had a report that was good about climate change, they ignored it of course.
