The agency forecasts weather, manages fisheries, and researches the world's oceans, atmosphere, and climate. The proposed budget cuts would slash the climate work entirely.

FAFO. The areas/states that can most benefit from accurate weather forecasts are all red. Their congressmen/women and senators would rather suck-up to Trump and Musk to save their own asses, and "fuck all" to their constituents. Will be hall to pay in '26 and again in '28.
Doesn't MAGA realize that they can just convert the democrats weather satellite bases to space X bases? donOLD & elonNAZI brag about knowing more than anyone about things & elonNAZI rockets will blow storms up when they explode & spread shrapnel & injure people. At least entertainment is guaranteed
No need to worry about hurricanes and tornadoes, which almost exclusively destroy red states, MAGA has control of the weather weapons now and can aim them at blue states.
It reminds me that everytime a hurricane would hit during Bidens term, mtg would start in on how the democrats are manipulating the weather by overfeeding clouds. On purpose to wipe out Republicans. I'm waiting for hurricane season so I can hear it again.
If we the citizens of the United States allow these demonic cancellations of all our precious services and agencies we are doomed to becoming a third world dictatorship
A dictatorship that willfully accelerates every dire situation related to a warming climate. Destructive storms, biodiversity loss, drought, famine, more suffering for the poorest.
With cuts at NOAA and FEMA, I'd be selling my home anywhere in the Hurricane Zone, ASAP. You won't know it's coming and there will be little or no help afterward.
I wonder where all that funding money is going?
His people forced NOAA to retract the statement and issue one that said Dorian could hit Alabama. Because Old Man Godbaby can not and will not bear to he told he is wrong.
don't need early warning or forecasts for events nobody is gonna pay for. think Trump is gonna give anyone money for catastrophes? he won't even give seniors their own money back. once again an example of why you don't make billionaires President. smh
All Land, Sea And Air Travel—More Dangerous With These Cuts!
Americans Lives Will Be Lost —Without Weather Storm Warnings!
This Is Funded By Taxpayers For Taxpayers Safety—-
Non-Negotiable Crucial Services!! Trump Adm. MADE AMERICANS AND AMERICA LESS SAFE AND MORE U.S. DEBT-With Their EFFICIENCY??
If you want to oppose these cuts, tell the 535 in DC who fund it. please Resist. It only takes a few minutes and best of all..it doesn’t cost any money.
We don’t need money in politics. We just need people to participate. https://www.nationalfinancialplan.com
But money IS in politics. The Koch family from Wichita, KS is whose money is responsible for this. They control the politician puppets on BOTH sides of the isle. You can scream at their politician puppets all you want but until you can out $lobby the oil industry your just wasting oxygen.
"But money is politics" Yes that is why we need to get money 100% out of politics. You and the other 8 who liked your comment please support my Initiative No. 2 on my website 100% Democracy. It only takes a few minutes and it doesn't cost any money. It is not impossible. It is seemingly impossible.
You're literally and metaphorically right on the money, Aldo. I'm standing every day to raise awareness of the Kochs here in Wichita, and I appreciate whatever work you're doing to help anybody understand just how dire the Koch situation really is.
Trump wants to get rid of the word climate for big oil to continue to fill his pockets. He is getting rid of things that are going to be extremely costly to disregard. Ignoring and cutting efforts to manage, protect & research will be deadly & make the US last, uninformed.
This makes the US weak.
I remember when Earl Butz was Sec of Agriculture (71-76) under our first made-in Hollywood prexie Nixon, and then Ford.
- he liked big ag, & chemicals - and said 'the earth will only be around another 50 years, anyway (why worry about the environment?)
Yep!
fired for a racist joke
'When world food prices soared in the 1970s, Butz drew the acrimony of environmentalists by urging the nation’s farmers to “plant from fence row to fence row.” That policy resulted in vegetation along fence rows being plowed and planted and wetlands tiled and drained.
Followed by Ann Buford in the Reagan Admin. She helped logging companies cut the old-growth & ship complete trees to Japan for milling (cheaper than US log mills). So logging mill communities started to fail & blamed it all on the Spotted Owl (a species needing old growth). Buford was Gorsuch mother
NO WAY - She was Gorsuch's mother? And now this: 😳https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2025/04/05/trump-administration-orders-half-national-forests-open-logging/
In the 70s, my biologist hubble worked in forest research (USFS), and a lot of his fellow employees came to us from Minnesota: 'they cut the forests - and blamed the decline of the industry on the environmentalists - they will here, too!'
So we were ⚠️....
...and gas prices are dropping, production of oil is increasing...so much stress will be put on our resources too(timber/mineral/mining our fed parks). How will we ever make up what could be done before trump and his pals are finally gone???
My heart is breaking....
...the army, all the forces, the fishing industry, agriculture, school buses, air travel....all of it. They cannot see fucking further than themselves and their own interests. Pisses me off!!🤬
The Corporate Scheme to capture SCOTUS and everything else has expanded into a Koch Network-funded full-blown effort to privatize everything. This only works for billionaires, and in practice won't even work for them either. https://youtu.be/mAplGu1RxPg?si=8Ww4Xe9RBXAguB7O
Yup a judge JUST ruled Mohamed Khalid was able to be deported when his only crime was protesting, so by the way, the first amendment no longer applies to noncitizens, AND protesting is a deportable crime.
Thankfully, women ain't allowed in El Salvador. Maybe I will get lucky & be deported back to Europe to the lands of my ancestors. Honestly, I welcome it. Am done with this ridiculous nation! 😒
I wonder if that is the goal with them trying to get rid of the 14th ammendment. If they did that, african Americans & Natives won't be allowed to vote. What's to stop them from deporting all African Americans back to Africa. Wouldnt surprise me if they try it. 🤔
Right. Nobody needs severe weather warnings and this regime isn’t going to help afterwards anyway so /
hurricane?.. aim straight for Mar-a-Lago. And give it all you’ve got to that one location. Tear up his vault of classified information to sell.
It's OK. Now Florida & the gulf of America states won't know when a hurricane is coming. Outta sight , outta mind. It will completely destroy the gulf States. Thousands are gonna die. And most of em voted for it. Fools. 😒
It should be noted that Houston is a blue city. New Orleans, Atlanta, Austin, Dallas, San Antonio & much of the Rio Grande Valley is blue. There are more registered democrats in Texas than in any other state except California. Please try not to hate *everyone* who lives in the south!
At least we’re getting rid of FEMA at the same time, so the US taxpayers don’t have to pay for the mess. Hurricane states can pay for their own recoveries according to the plan they have pushed.
He is so smart!!! Floating a lot of ideas… like the HHS will spend money on autism research ( again to prove that a “shot” may be causing it) , but will cut grants for infectious disease research and diabetes!!!
When I saw this, I laughed hard. Then I read it to my husband and was surprised I had not remembered. I must have been drinking through his first term. Considering, every morning I woke saying... He didn't just do that, did he?
Yep. And Newport Oregon is prolly gonna lose our NOAA contract. Worth a couple million every year. And he has destroyed the tourism industry with his big mouth & bs. I know. I live here. We rely on tourism & the fishing industry. Without it, we will all starve. 🤨
The science that understands weather also understands climate change. A lot of people voted using ignorance, deception and denial instead. Those currently in charge need to further poor thinking and reasoning to maintain power, but It won't be cheaper and a lot of people will get hurt.
maga: if states cannot see them coming, storms do not exist. If states cannot predict climate change, it isn't changing...maga is so grossly anti-science!...
I just was reading that scientist at NOAA are having to clean the bathrooms and do maintenance themselves, because Musk stopped payments to the maintenance staff.
Fellow Floridians!! Let’s all just assume a hurricane is coming. Water, shelf stable foods, grill, generator, gas, batteries AAA AA C and D, weather radio, mine charges holds batteries and can be wound to produce energy. Make sure your storm shutters are ready to go. You can only count on you now.
I wonder who they'll outsource this to?
"...aims to slim down NOAA's investment in some of its premier satellite technology, called geostationary satellites, by 44% compared to current levels. The agency currently has five in orbit, which provide much of the data critical for weather forecasts"
When you are trillions of dollars in debt, and no way to get out, slashing costs seems appropriate.
There is a price to pay for deficit spending, and I for one, among many, many more, will gladly accept some sacrifices to safeguard our nations future.
Don’t worry, the states will manage it. So many red state are under federal perfusion and soon they will have to manage more and more thing. Let see how this will work out, if their will be able to do all of that without raising any taxes!
Nice so state will not be able to do any environmental regulation against the alleged clean energy to protect communities.
Everything for the robber barons, but poverty and misery for the American people!
If you value the truth. The first Amendment is not just about your free speech, but media's "obligation" to tell the public the truth to power. JFK: "The President and the Press Address before the American Newspaper Publishers Association, April 27, 1961" https://youtu.be/aTfVTeHbvxI?si=dCiLWnpV0GobAsYu
Hey, southeastern United States, and Texas! You voted for this clown, now you get the reap the rewards of having to shovel your house off the beach or out of the swamp muck because he didn’t like being corrected on a hurricane tracking map, so he got the agency. ENJOY!! You’re welcome!
A small but extremely intense storm such as that one could park itself over Mar-a-Lago just like Hurricane Dorian did in the northern Bahamas several years ago. The ultimate in poetic justice.
And this is just some of the daily dickheading from the trump administration today! Rubio's been especially busy. Can't wait to see that som'bitch "get his". Just for fun: where would you like to see him sent?
Cuba! He can go there & make it great again. Him & Trd Cruz. It's exactly what they deserve. Ain't that what they crow about with the migrants coming here all the time? Sicko's! 🤬
Well what could possibly go wrong? it's not like after the clown caused sharpie gate that we lost a lot of talent from the weather bureau that never came back, that affected our ability to forecast hurricanes to start with.
Question: if there no one monitoring fisheries, how would we know if the area is being over fished, causing ripple effects? What company is receiving this benefit?
The strategy is clear. If you eliminate "woke" books and people of color from history, that means they never existed.
If you eliminate tools to monitor and research weather that means climate change doesn't exist.
"If enacted, the cuts would "take us back to the 1950s in terms of our scientific footing and the American people," says Craig McLean, a former director of NOAA's office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research.
1950s? Trump keeps talking about the times before 1913. Is that where the goal posts are?
After NOAA gets bullDOGE’d, we won’t have to worry about storms that the weather bureau warns US to prepare for every Summer as they frighten US with satellite & radar images of storms tracking across the Atlantic from the coast of Africa.
This way, if we dump NOAA overboard, we’ll never need FEMA!
Explore “The Impact”, a revealing documentary about a powerful international group of anti-cult activists, led by Alexander Dworkin, who are coercively deprogramming people across the globe. Defend your freedoms before it’s too late
As extreme weather events accelerate, climate change worsens, insurance companies & customers struggle to measure risk, & international relationships are frayed by Trump, isn’t it a smart idea to “fly blind” in our data gathering & analysis of weather information?!?
I get the feeling most Americans aren't interested in the climate crisis. It doesn't sit well with a largely selfish materialistic consumption lifestyle.
It isn’t “most” Americans, just those that follow right wing oil propaganda media and deny the evidence of their eyes and lived experiences. Half of us are not as easily persuadable and we see it happening in our environments year after year. You are right about our excessive consumption though.
I'm encouraged by your certainty that it isn't most Americans. However, it's not a right or left thing, it's a planet thing. Climate denial is concentrated in one country only, the one that is the world's historically greatest polluter.
At some point when this administration has pulled the rug completely from under the general population for their tax cuts for the wealthy, we will have no choice but to curb that consumption. Of course those 1% will continue to over-consume for the rest of us, just as they have always done.
The plan is to create giant brooms to sweep bad weather off our coasts, into Mexico and Canada if they won't pay the tariffs, and we will have the best weather. It will be better weather than anyone has ever seen in the history of the world. Here is exactly what it will look like.
I shared this with my friend who works at NOAA (for how much longer, no one knows for sure except the Orange Julius Genius and his MuskMelon sidekick).
Billionaires don't use FEMA.
Billionaires don't need a lot of things that other people rely on.
If things get too hairy here, they'll buy services from overseas or move there.
The US government is now for the billionaires, by the billionaires.
When the next severe storm hits - and it will - this country won't be prepared because important data will not be available. People will lose their homes, businesses, get injured or die. And what response, if any, will we get: thoughts and prayers 😡
What a joy! "Thank you, Mr. President, for being the biggest fucking asshole in the world. It wouldn't matter if your fucking insanity were restricted to close friends and family, but you have become a global catastrophe, and there's no one with the balls willing and able to do anything about it."
We are going to see a HUUUUGE round of 'find out' after the fucking around that was putting Trump back in office. I'm honestly worried that we are going to see a full collapse of the USA as we know it. (Which, realistically, I'm still not sure wouldn't be for the best in the long run.)
Apparently climate change is not a problem for the billionaires who run the government, billionaires who are pretty much free to locate anywhere to escape fires and floods.
They're stealing our money, that's what's wrong with them. Force us to pay federal tax, cut all the programs, keep the tax money, give private contractors the jobs, we now pay for that too. Basically "double billing" us and where's all the money going??

Hurricane season starts in 51 days & they want to leave people along the gulf & east coasts defenseless.

So we were ⚠️....
They are way cheaper than noaa would be!
And Dog e will be proud of the savings!
Apparently having hurricane warnings and weather forecasts aren’t important.
Trump will continue to track the path of hurricane s with a Sharpie
My heart is breaking....
I'm so old I remember when NPR would have explained these dynamics.

We're royally fucked come hurricane season if this happens
There's a lot of value in their products for low cost. Sounds like something that needs wrecked.
A bummer is these jobs aren't available in the private sector. Govt supports corporations w data.
Fuck these people.
Donald Trump is a fool.

There is no one left to warn about hurricanes.
Oh wait...the feds don't get less from us because they don't offer Medicaid or USAID or anything else. The top 1% still have to get their taxcuts.

going to nuke the hurricanes? Because he knows hurricanes like Kennedy knows vaccines!
