We collectively haven’t been taking the plans laid out by Project 2025 seriously enough. They want to destroy NOAA so people won’t know that climate change is happening. It sounds stupid and alarmist if you haven’t been paying attention.

The question is what can be done. And also can all the information being scrubbed from websites be put up on websites elsewhere? Are people archiving their websites? I understand this doesn’t solve the problem, but we can’t have a complete erasure.
This American is pleading with the governments around the world to analyze what critical data sets and info we are losing due to this insanity and fill in the gap. If the U.S. wants to give up on critical science, take advantage of this opportunity to make your country stronger.
As a friend to science, I would normally not want to give up my country’s best and brightest, but when the VP comes out and says science, research and universities are the enemy, I care more about what is best for the planet and its people.
This might be an excellent time to poach some of the best and brightest researchers from the U.S. to do this. If they’ve had their research and grant support eliminated, good chance they will be willing and eager to listen to reasonable offers.
Some Trump supporters believe the end game is the end times. Evangelicals who believe God will destroy this earth and create a new one for his true followers do not see a point in protecting the planet.
For those like Musk & Thiel, if there's still wiggle room for reason besides their narcissistic offence, it's probably Longtermism: Scorch the earth to lift off and set foot on another world, sacrifice the present to set sails for a future of the human species.
Seriously! We can't just sit by and watch this happen, but HOW to stop it? I think these agencies should all revolt, block their doors, and not let Elon and his thugs inside, for a start. And the DNC should be hiring body guards for the people who are targeted.
NOAA famously an agency under the Dep. of Commerce, because, you know... farms and transport and storage and retail all need to know what the weather's gonna be like today, tomorrow, for the season, etc. Farms famously things we have around TO FEED US...
NOAA was established under Nixon to bring marine activities across the federal government under one roof. Think fisheries, scientific research, weather monitoring, use of resources, etc. His message to Congress regarding Reorganization Plan No. 4 is a quick read. https://archive.epa.gov/ocir/leglibrary/pdf/created.pdf
Another reason why NPR is so important (and why they also want to kill it). They were talking about the privatization of weather forecasting several years ago.
Elon Musk may have announced a project to eventually colonize Mars back in the early 2000s. Has he even advanced one part of that program past the drawing board, as he became obscenely rich with Tesla? Or is this like all his talk of FSD to be achieved at the same time as Infrastructure Week?
His purposeful and ongoing destruction of the American bureaucracy, along with the global web of systems ultimately dependent on the proper functioning of that bureaucracy, need not be a product of your longtermism.
Simply put, by destroying as much as he can, he hopes to put in place a system where no one can hope to check him, even as he and his allies offer inferior products that customers will have no choice but to use anyway.
We all know that climate change is happening. They want to destroy NOAA so Americans won't know how fast climate change is accelerating. Other countries will continue their monitoring, of course.
So all these people involved in Project 2025..... do none of them have children? What kind of world do they think they are going to leave for them if more and more fossil fuels are burned and the temperatures keep rising? Their grandchildren will be toast .... quite literally
Believers are the last people on earth I'm ok using ablist slurs derogatorily on because it's a choice, and they should be told they are abusing children and making them easy to warp later, because THEY FUCKING ARE
They don't care, as long as they think they stopped zygotes from being murdered and the deep state from sending money to starving people and and that their religion will own the schools. Of course there will be few children left for their schools.
The anti-christs is what they are called.
Ngl, all of it sounds stupid and alarmist...if you haven't been paying attention.
There's a guy out there who's keeping an itemized list of Project 2025's agenda and checking the items off as the administration implements them. So far, it's pretty on point.
They weren’t ready to immediately act the first time Trump was elected, and they weren’t going to make that mistake the second time around. Years of planning by hundreds of people - they’ve been waiting in the shadows, ready to pounce.
They have been working on it for two years, now. They had a playbook and a mission plan all set to go, to start on Jan 20th. They determined right up front that they had to do a lot of illegal stuff really fast, to get it all locked down.
The United States of America is pretty much dead, now.
I told my Chemistry class yesterday the link we have been using to access the Keeling curve data for our first lab was ordered shut down by Trump. First dose of reality for them.
It’s going to be difficult for them to coverup the upcoming devastation, so they’re likely drafting fake causes like:
- Not ENOUGH carbon in atmosphere
- DEI of course, although that’s getting stale
- God’s revenge (Christ only)
- Dems created the devastation to fool you
Oh, I see. Don't want the Bible in school, but y'all Don't Mind Noah being in government with all his hysteria about floods and big ass boats filled with animals.
Who needs scientists if Big Orange can draw the path of a hurricane with a sharpie and make weather voodoo with "it'll start getting cooler, you just watch."
What is really maddening about the privatizing of NOAA is that some oligarchs are going to get handed all of this valuable data (and control of all the NOAA satellites!) and will be allowed to charge money to make use of it. Industries like crop insurance will now need to pay to use it.
Yes keep screaming this play to remove the US from any major agency that provides real data that cant be manipulated by the current administration is a threat, with no access peeps forced to accept what is propagated with the intent of total control I loathe this administration

I have been hoping Trump and Musk will have a passionate embrace and leap, hand in hand, into a volcano.
A prediction will save a regional crop.
Starving to death to fight desegregation.
Pet peeve: news was horrible in reporting numbers per capita or any other way to make comparisons easy.
And I'm tired of no one calling these people the fucking stupid that they are

"downsize" the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research, which focuses too much on "climate alarmism"
"fully commercialize" the National Weather Service's forecasting operations
while
"Elevating" the Office of Space Commerce
